Our herd of horses, mules, and burros are like family!
Our String is divided into various groups by experience & character. Our youngsters, though halter-broke early in life, are allowed to grow mighty strong before feeling the weight of a rider.
Then we have the "teenagers" or the handful of horses that are in training. These guys and gals (geldings & mares) can be in training anywhere from 1 to 1.5 years, depending upon their character and general manner. At this point only wranglers would ride these "green" steeds.
At times, the Stables will have a mount or two that remain "Wrangle Only" horses, though not very often.
Almost all of our animals will eventually end up in the working string.
