A New Addition to Our Homestead: Introducing Sterling the Mustang Cross Quarter Horse

🐴Sterling is a Mustang cross Quarter Horse who has been with us for several years. He came to us unridable and untrained, and we have been working on his training to make him a valuable part of our homestead.

👨‍🌾Carrie Wilson, a horse trainer, has helped us with Sterling's training. She focuses on natural horsemanship and has been guiding us on how to work with horses using their instincts and motivations.

🌾Our goal is to get Sterling comfortable with the other horses and animals on our homestead. We have been introducing him to Holiday, our other horse, and gradually acclimating him to their presence.

🏞️Sterling will have access to our pasture, where he will be able to roam freely and enjoy the open space. We will continue his training and spend time bonding with him to develop a strong relationship.

🐓We have also made preparations for our chickens by wrapping their chicken tractors with plastic to provide them with shelter from the weather. Ensuring the well-being of all our animals is a top priority.
