My Wild Horse Story: Mahima White

It wasn't until I adopted my Mustang that I realized I had been missing a part of me for so long. I have owned, loved, and worked with horses since I was 6 years old. After I graduated high school in 2017 and my OHSET career had ended, I wasn't sure where my horse adventures would go from there.

My Wild Horse Story: Naomi Langdon

Despite resistance from those who warned me against it, I got my first mustang when I was 14 years old. The scrawny little bay gelding may not have seemed like much, but he was mine! #4457 (Malachi) was my first horse and although we definitely have had many ups and downs, struggles and successes and I have made plenty of mistakes with him, I would not change a second of it!
