| think of a wild horse as a foal. You have to gain its trust before you can show it how to behave. It takes time but will be worth it |

| We bought 2 beautiful yearling fillys-a paint and a grey/blue roan. Neither one of them seem to excitable. This is going to be a fun experience! |

| get the book by MONTE ROBERTS! There's great info in there. And be careful, Wild horses (well all horses) are flight animals. They will run, kick and bite (strike as well) when they feel threatned. Take your time. Do NOT RUSH THEM> |
