Mustang: From Wild Horse to Riding Horse

One trainer’s journal: Groundwork, first rides, obstacles, trail work, liberty, performance and more

by Vivian Gabor

Follow along as one trainer and a young mustang mare discover partnership and trust as they prepare for the Mustang Makeover in Germany. For 90 days, biologist and horsewoman Vivian Gabor recorded her experiences with Mona, a wild horse who crossed a continent and an ocean to find a new home. Through words and wonderful colour photographs, Vivian shares the ups and downs as she progresses with Mona’s training, discovering insights about horses and their true nature along the way. Steps for patiently and naturally introducing training are included, along with a vivid insight into the resulting friendship between woman and horse. 160 pages, softcover. $45
