Rich's Story

Rich came to AAE with his two buddies, Big and Texas, in January 2019 after a long abandonment on a large property.  It seems these three guys have had a crappy time finding a forever home.  They have a long story, and our understanding is they are three-strike mustangs that came to California in 2009 after removal from a neglect situation in Nebraska.  Long story short, they were placed on a large, beautiful foster property as a group of 10, and when the foster returned to remove them, they were unable to load the three and left them behind.  The lived on the foster property for years, until it was recently sold.  Little is known about any prior handling, but these guys were feral; none of the three were halterable at the time we picked them up.

Rich is a timid, fearful little guy.  He was haltered fairly readily, but he had some fight in him when faced with too much pressure.  Once haltered, he had a lot of try, but had a lot of fear to overcome.  He's willing, but reactive.  Due to his quarantine period and harsh weather conditions the last several weeks, Rich has not had substantial one-on-one interaction; he has been adjusting to a more confined life and daily human presence.

​Rich will be ready for adoption after hoof and dental care, as well as vaccines and deworming.  He likely has a microchip in place.  We'll try to get brand and microchip information as soon as weather and safe handling permits. Rich will need a person with advanced experience gentling and starting a mustang.  He will require a ton of patience and someone willing to commit to a long term project.  He is not suitable for a beginner or anyone without significant experienced gentling mustangs.
