A blog that focuses on our unique program that teaches natural horsemanship, heritage breed conservation, soil and water conservation, and even folk, roots, and Americana music. This blog discusses our efforts to prevent the extinction of the Corolla Spanish Mustang. Choctaw Colonial Spanish Horse, Marsh Tacky, and the remnants of the Grand Canyon Colonial Spanish Horse strain.

Reasons for Hope
This picture was taken just before yesterday's parade. It includes one wild Corolla stallion, two wild Corolla mares, and three highly skilled horse starters. Ashley, Danielle and Amanda are fully capable of gentling and starting wild horses and colts without my assistance. (Of course, they get my assistance whether they want it or not.)
They are part of the proof that kids can learn and apply natural horsemanship. They can apply it to BLM's, rescue horses, PMU horses, even well bred Quarter Horses. We do not have a surplus of horses in this nation. We have a shortage of riders. The only remedy to the situation is to draw more kids into the training process.
