Meet blazey

Bay Gelding, 14 H, DOB: 2020

BIO

Update July 2024: At Montgomery Creek Ranch, we have the privilege of working with some truly remarkable mustangs, and Blazey is no exception. This stunning mustang from the Onaqui Herd Management Area in Utah boasts a big, bold presence, accentuated by his beautiful long mane and tail. His striking appearance is matched by his friendly demeanor, making him a joy to be around.

Blazey's journey with us is one of transformation and trust. Currently, he is working on finding relaxation and security with humans, a crucial step in his training. In his herd, Blazey often adopts a dominant leader role. This natural inclination means that part of his training involves teaching him to understand that humans can also be teachers and leaders. By learning to trust and follow human guidance, Blazey can relax and feel secure.

His training is progressing well, and Blazey has been started under saddle. He is now comfortably walking, trotting, and cantering in the arena. As he advances, he is beginning to learn more technical aspects of riding, such as how to move his head, shoulder, and hindquarters independently. Additionally, he is learning to respond softly to the cues of his trainer's hands and legs.

Blazey's journey is a testament to his adaptability and willingness to learn. With continued training and patience, he is sure to become a confident and well-rounded partner, ready to excel in any discipline and form a strong bond with his rider.

We are incredibly proud of Blazey's progress and look forward to seeing him continue to grow and thrive. His story is a powerful reminder of the resilience and potential of wild horses. With the right guidance and care, they can achieve incredible things and form lasting connections with the humans who love them.


 

blazey’S STORY

Blaze was born wild in Utah's Onaqui Mountain Herd Management Area in 2020. In 2021, despite the successful implementation of humane fertility control measures to manage population growth, Blaze and his herd were rounded up in a helicopter stampede by the Bureau of Land Management. Blaze was one of 435 wild horses forcibly removed and sent to a government holding facility, joining more than 65,000 other wild horses and burros in captivity.
