Wild horse camp level I

Wild Horse Camp LEVEL 1 focuses on horses and all animals as sentient beings and building a lifelong respect for all life.  Animals are capable of feeling emotions; happy, sad, lonely, friendly, etc. just as we humans are.  We must respect their feelings and be a friend to them.  Students will also learn the history of mustangs and their plight today, as well as how to read a “freeze brand” and about management levels on the range.  A presentation on the life of a mustang in the wild focusing on Aegis, the “Protector Mustang” we have pictures of his life from when he was born. Observation exercises will discuss how to read equine communication to tell what they are thinking or feeling at the time.  Connecting with a mustang by synching the student’s heart rate and breathing with the horse.  Lessons on colors and markings of horses, as well as learning the parts of a horse.
