Acclimation
On arrival, the Mustang is given time to adjust to the ranch. We observe behavior, temperament, and characteristics. This becomes the foundation for an individual training plan.
Service 02
Mustang taming & training
Wild mustangs are different. We do this work the way it should be done, slow, patient, and built on partnership instead of pressure.
The work
Gentling, not breaking.
We specialize in gentling wild Mustangs to prepare them for future homes, ensuring they're ready to build lasting partnerships with their new owners. We're BLM-approved for wild Mustangs, with 7-foot pens, a 50-foot round pen, and a one-mile trail and three-acre pasture for further training.
Every Mustang gets a tailored plan. We listen first, then work, slowly, consistently, and built on partnership instead of pressure.
The process
Our four-step training
Trust building
Round-pen sessions, positive reinforcement, consistent handling. Our trainers spend time near each Mustang without imposing, letting the horse grow comfortable with human presence.
Handling & groundwork
Once trust is established: haltering, leading, grooming, standing for the farrier. Groundwork develops responsiveness and confidence in new situations.
Advanced training
Saddle training, groundwork under pressure, and the essential skills that prepare each Mustang for a future home. We use gentle, progressive methods, every step.
Working with us
Three ways to bring a Mustang into your life
Adoption & train-with-owner
We help you choose a Mustang through BLM adoption events or the Forest Service and bring them to the ranch. You learn alongside the horse, providing much of the daily care. Best for hands-on owners.
Trained Mustang for purchase
We hand-select Mustangs from BLM adoption and the Forest Service, train each to a basic skill level, and introduce saddle training. Additional training increases the price per Mustang.
Full training by Crossroads
For folks with no horse experience or no BLM-approved facility. Jeneva tames and trains your Mustang at the ranch. You visit at least once a week to see progress. Training: $800.
