All of this leads to calm behavior when the horse needs to be trimmed, wormed, vetted, saddled and loaded in a trailer. We also recognize that in order to maximize the horse's interest in training, it can't all be work. We try to mix in elements which are interesting to the horse. All horses stay in the mustang pen until they can be easily haltered, and in a paddock until they can be easily caught in an open area such as the large arena or pasture. Horses must be wormed before they can go out in common areas.
Cost varies based on the wormer used.
Vaccinations and other veterinary services, if required, are billed directly to the owner by the veterinarian. We will assist with shots and other procedures as part of the gentling service. A horse is a sensitive, feeling creature and we try to make the gentling process pleasurable when possible.
