Happy Girl. All content and grazing to her belly's delight in her new pasture. This old guy is tired, but proud that I can still knock out a job this size alone,and in a short time frame

Afternoon ride. Long day. Time to unwind. Cinnamon is doing well. Still taking it slow as we build up some muscle tone and stamina after her layoff.

Before and after ride ... Nora was happy. Boomer was elated! Cinnamon did well, although she c was on high alert looking for her old herd.

Shelter finished just in time... here comes the rain. Nothing fancy, but functional and inexpensive. Not bad for an afternoon effort. Cinnamon is not completely sure yet. But hay, alfalfa and grain are in the shelter.

Just look at this handsome guy! Shilo is available for adoption thru https://www.mypegasusproject.org/

After 18 long months, Cinnamon is back at home. Now to string up a larger pasture area. But home is home.

I got some training time on Hope this morning. I never expected that difficult, hard headed yearling would grow into such a willing learner.

Ya'll Miss Sioux is a gem!

It's Forever Home Friday, and so we are featuring one of our rideable (and adoptable!) mules. Today we are sharing our oh-so-spicy girl, Sioux!

Sioux came to Pegasus in February 2015, as a four-month-old foal. We rescued her and her Quarter Horse mother, Cheyenne, from an Oklahoma kill pen. From the get go, Sioux was special. She has always been a little fireball, full of fun, curiosity and mischief. Immediately upon arrival, we began working with Sioux to get her comfortable with humans. By August, we had weaned her from Cheyenne and introduced her to a herd of horses that included another mule. The transition was easy for her.

Since mules need more time than horses to physically and mentally mature, we didn't rush getting her started under saddle. The first few years of her life were filled with ground work, carrying around ba****ck pads and eventually saddles, and being ponied off of our seasoned horses.

In March of 2022, Sioux went to Isaac and Kit Johnson's Rockin' X Academy, where she was started under saddle. Because we had her fully prepared, her saddle training went smoothly. Sioux spent a total of 3 months at Rockin' X, and then she returned to Pegasus where our trainer, Anthony LaSpina, began to ride her regularly. Over the summer of 2023, Sioux was with Rockin' X alum, Zoe Chappelear, in northern Oklahoma to experience life on a cattle ranch. Last spring, Sioux spent a couple of months with Jake Gelinas (Gelinas Horsemanship) to continue giving her new experiences with talented trainers.

Sioux has returned to us and is ready for her forever home. Sioux develops very strong bonds with her pasture mates and thrives on consistency and discipline. She will need an experienced adopter to manage her powerful personality. Trust and relationship are very important to Sioux. She will give you everything she has if she loves you. Sioux is a fun little ride and moves very forward down the trail. RIDING VIDEOS ARE AVAILABLE HERE: https://www.mypegasusproject.org/sioux
If you prefer to adopt Sioux as just a companion and not a riding mule, we are open to that as well.

Anyone interested in adopting Sioux (or a Pegasus horse) should start by reviewing our Adoption Process, including the adoption application and rules, which are attached to this link:

Back in the saddle and it feels so good! Cinnamon's hoof wall has grown out enough to bear weight. Fun trail ride today with Curt & Blue.

Happy Thursday! As many of you know, I am now working at Pegasus Project Rescue. It's a beautiful place, with some really great horses available for adoption; both rideable and companion animals.

Here is a photo dump from the past few weeks.

Oh yeah... look for posts on the upcoming Air Show.

Remember Hope? She was the yearling one of my former clients selected for the Youth Mustang Makeover Challenge...

Today I got to ride her as we started her under saddle. She did exceptionally well.

Who would havev thought that little ornery girl would grow up to be such a breeze.
