Milo
2010 Mustang Gelding
Milo is an owner surrender and, like so many other mustangs, was so misunderstood by the horse world. A once feral horse running free in Nevada, he found himself in many different confining spaces that are normal for domestic horses to live in. Feeling trapped and frustrated he resorted to acting out, which got him labeled as dangerous, one woman even told his owner he belonged “at the bottom of a hole”.
Milo’s story didn’t start like this, his owner adopted him from the BLM and let him live outside and free with another mustang. He was so happy. But after falling on hard times and trying everything she could to keep him, her only options seemed to be traditional horse keeping with confining spaces and stalls. She knew Milo was so unhappy and that he was only acting out as a result of his living situation.
After hearing Milo’s story and all his mom had been through to find him the right home, we knew he would fit in with our herd. His rehab includes freedom, wide open spaces to run with his friends, and no confinement.
His first mom is so happy to say that Milo is back to the horse he used to be!
