Mustang Taming and Dominion
There are some horses you just can't ride. Either they have been free too long, they have it in their blood to dislike humans and being ridden or maybe their chemistry does not accomodate taming and riding. Whatever the cause, some horses just won't be ridden while others seem to enjoy it. It takes a very experienced individual to tell. Only someone who has been around wild horses a long time can tell how people-friendly a horse will turn out to be. What do we do with the ones that are caught and won't be tamed or ridden? Food? Fertilizer? They should provide something valuable to society. I don't think they should be turned back to the wild, because that would strengthen the population of horses that won't be tamed or ridden. Future generations will be less human friendly. We need to breed the human-friendly mustangs and use the others in ways that would better serve humanity. God gave us dominion over all the animals and it is our duty to be good stewards of our property. All animals are ours to control and look after for the betterment of all. We have to fulfill God's expectations of us and manage the animal population to it's betterment and also our own. If an animal is not good for humans it should be used in a way that will benefit humans. Dominion over the animals means to take control, not to let them fend for themselves. Sometimes we have to control the population to make the whole better in the long run. This premise goes not just for Mustangs, but all animals. We must breed them in controlled situations so as to better each breed in quality and temperament. We need to weed out the unwanted characteristics and match for good qualities.

Ride On
I want to reiterate the fact that Mustangs of the western states are the descendants of the horses brought from Spain by the Conquistadors who tamed the New World. These horses enabled them to travel the great distances and fight the strenuous battles required to acquire the gold, land and other riches available here in America. These Horses of The Conquistadors are available to you right now if you will seek them out. I have supplied many links you may use to help you in your quest. Success depends on how much effort you put into your search. Dream like the Spanish Conquistadors of ages past and claim your reward, a Horse of The Conquistadors.

I graduated from Roanoke College in 1982 with a BA in Psychology. I plan to continue my education with a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. Since I have started this blog, I have decided to study horse training as a prison rehabilitation technique and use the subject as the focal point for papers and research. Since it was only begun in 1986, there will not be a lot of proof one way or the other as to whether it is good as long term rehabilitation. It seems that it would be very good in that it gives the parolee a trade to potentially support him financially. I will study all this further when the time comes. If I am successful with my education and ultimately complete a PsyD, I will try to find employment in one of the prisons that utilizes the horse training rehabilitation program.Mustang Prison Auction and Sale
So far I've found quite a bit of information on wild mustang adoption.
A few prisons in the areas where the wild mustangs are rounded up are using the training of the horses as therapy and rehabilitation. It proves to be successful as the recidivism rate (how many parolees return to prison) is half the national average of 68% says Brian Hardin, the program's supervisor for the Colorado Department of Corrections.
I am studying psychology for a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and plan on studying this form of therapy in depth.

I have researched several web sites and have found more than one prison that tames and trains mustangs, The Horses of The Conquistidors. I am providing web sites and phone numbers and email addresses of some of the contacts I have located so far. This is an ongoing investigation and I will add contact information as I find it.
I will also give dates of some of the auctions.

First of all I'd like to stress the fact that we have a golden opportunity to get fine horses at relatively low prices through adoption. The wild mustangs I am discussing are the descendants of the galiant steeds of The Spanish Conquistidors. They are not mongrels of the equestrian world. They have bred amongst themselves for hundreds of years where only the strong survived and reproduced. They are in fact potentially be best riding horses on earth. The Spaniards chose the best horses they had available to bring with them to the New World. These horses survived the trip across the Atlantic ocean, many tossed overboard in the horse latitudes, and provided the Conquistidors mighty service in conquering the new continent. They were sturdy, reliable mounts. Now after hundreds of years on their own, they have naturally bred into even stronger horses able to stand the elements and disease that not many pedigreed horses could tolerate. Although they are wild to begin with, they are not feral horses. They, as I said, come from Spanish riding horses and have great potential to become excellent mounts with training. Many of the horses offered for adoption at the prisons are young and will be able to be trained for many different purposes. The US Border Patrol uses trained mustangs. They recently adopted 20 and plan to get more. BP uses them on the rough terrain along the US/Canadian border and in El Paso on the US/Mexican border. They will make excellent trail riding horses. I believe they'd be great for dressage and stadium jumping and cross country. They'd be good barrel racers and cutting horses. The Horses of The Conquistidors have the potential to make great riding horses that everyone should consider.
Now I'd like to inform you about how to get The Horses of The Conquistidors.
Canon City houses the BLM's largest wild horse and burro holding facility and is one of five facilities in the nation with a Wild Horse Inmate Program (WHIP). WHIP, formed in 1986, is a cooperative agreement between BLM & Colorado Department of Corrections, in which select wild horses and burros get personal and extensive training, as part of an inmate rehabilitation program. WHIP prepares mustangs for private adoption and for use by US Border Patrol. East Canon Correctional Compex is located 120 miles south of Denver, CO. In addition to providing training servces, inmates feed and care for all other wild horses and burros at the facility. Recently enlarged, facilities now allow holding capacity of 3000. The inmates benefit by learning meaningful and marketable work experience they can use when they are released. BLM rounds up 6500 wild mustangs yearly and 2000 go to East Canon. On average 7 to 10 horses are trained every month and aare ready to be adopted. Prison adoption fees are $1025/saddle broke horse and considerably less for unbroken and halter broke horses. Fran Ackley is the BLM's wild horse and burro specialist. Start with these 2 web sites to find out how to adopt. They have auctions on 2 Fridays each month. http://www.coloradoci.com/serviceproviders/whip/index.html?intro

These horses are saddle broke and have been worked with extensively. They offer young horses, so expect the horses to grow larger than they are at the auction.
See http://www.wildhorseandburroexpo.com/Prison%20Mustangs.htm to get a deeper understanding of the horses they offer and a history of prices which varies because it is a real auction.
I will be researching further and adding information in the future. Please leave comments and any information you find on this subject.
