Current Wild Heart Horses

Otis - Adopted!

Street Jazz (aka “Puppy”) - Adopted!

This very handsome boy came right off the track at Golden Gate Fields. He has a bowed tendon and will need 6-12 months off (as of November 2020). He’s a 2017 model, around 16.1 and built nicely. He’s a sweet heart and ready to find a fabulous home.

Finch- Adopted!

FInch is a 2 year old Wild BLM Mustang whose mother was gathered from the Devils Garden area, and birthed her in the holding pens. Wild Heart Trainer, Hilary, had this to say about Finch's training so far: "This is the first time that I have gentled horses that were born in the corrals and its interesting the differences between the two. The young ones are pretty open, very inquisitive, and curious about everything… Well, I guess they are two year olds! Perhaps because they haven’t been rounded up from the Wild, they haven’t had as many interactions with the things in the world, and all they know is living in a giant pasture at the holding facilities. It's pretty fun to watch them pick things up so quickly and not be as skittish as, lets say, a 6 year old who was gathered as a 5 year old. Those horses have much more real life experiences that can make them a little harder to come around to being in the domestic world, or at least that has been my experience. But Finch is a thinker, and also has a very short attention span, like most two year olds of any species. She a floaty mover and is almost identical to Wild Heart graduate, Keeper, who was the last Mustang I gentled. They look identical and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they were related. Finch is the only one at this time who is available for adoption at Wild Heart Restart Ranch, as soon as she completes her TIP requirements." If you are interested in adopting Finch, please fill out an adoption application with us here at Wild Heart, and also with the BLM at 4710-010.pdf

Willie - Adopted!

Promise - Adopted!

Promise is a is a 4 year old wild BLM Mustang mare from the Buffalo Hills HMA. She stands about 14.1h and is going to make her adopting family an awesome partner! She is smart, inquisitive and we think she will come around really nicely. A family from the South Bay reached out to Hilary about transporting their new wild addition from the Litchfield Wild Horse and Burro corrals down to them in the South Bay. After further discussion, they decided to keep Promise at Wild Heart Restart Ranch to also help work with the mare for a couple of weeks to give her a head start with the basics: yielding to halter pressure, leading, sending and being desensitized with the stick and string method. She is now settling in nicely with her new family and is learning to trust and bond with their teenaged daughter.

Moonshine - Adopted!

Nova - Adopted!

Nova is a 2 year old Wild BLM Mustang from the Devils Garden area. Her mother was rounded up a couple of years ago and she gave birth to Tag # 8222, who was adopted through the Mustang Heritage Internet Adoption by a lovely family in Santa Rosa. They hired Hansen's Horse Hauling to pick her up from the corals and then enrolled her in the Wild Heart Training Program. Every Mustang has their own personality and reaction to the domestic life, and Nova is taking a little longer to realize that humans can actually be pretty cool! Wild Heart Trainer, Hilary, had this to say about Nova's training so far: "She has quite a young mind, so keeping her focus on me or anything for that matter has been a little challenging but its been fun working with the younger ones, because it helps in practicing patience (like every other wild one), and its makes me think outside of the box as well. She’s a looker and I think with time she is going to make an awesome, go- getter horse as she has major athleticism and is a beautiful mover."
