Spanish Mustangs: Gentle As Puppies?
Few ironies run deeper than the fear that those who have never been exposed to my horses have of them. They fear them because many of them were wild.
Others are mustangs.
Several of them are stallions.
Should not the fact that most of these horses are trained and ridden by kids say more about their sweet and gentle natures than do the silly stereotypes taught by the established horse world?
Especially when such irony is a product of sectors of the established horse world who typically and traditionally keep wired tight, fired up horses..
