Progress doesn’t always look like a breakthrough. . Sometimes it’s one calmer step. One less reaction. One small thing that used to be hard becoming a little easier. . Horses have taught me that just because progress isn’t obvious, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. .

TRANSFORMATION THURSDAY - Cheeto . Cheeto went home this past Sunday, and it has been such an honor to watch this guy grow. . He came to Wilde Child as a feral, intact reservation mustang. His owner had us pick him up and immediately put him into training - and he was a lot at first. Terrified, spooky, and nervous, his owner realized he was going to be a longer project than she was able to commit to at the time. . She asked if I could find him a home… and I did. They wanted me to get him under saddle, and once he finally realized he was safe, he had an entire personality hidden underneath all that fear. . He was gelded, started under saddle, and is now off to his new home in Wyoming where he will be spoiled rotten by his new family. . I’m going to miss Cheeto, but I’m so happy to watch him thrive with everything he has learned at Wilde Child!! . In need of some help with your horse? Shoot us a message and let’s talk - a transformation like Cheeto’s is waiting just around the corner for you and your equine partner!! . #horsetrainer #reshorse #coltstarting #studtraining #trailhorse

Body Condition Scoring (BCS) is a system used to evaluate a horse’s overall body condition on a scale of 1–9, with 1 being extremely emaciated and 9 being extremely obese. It helps horse owners determine whether a horse is underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight. . 🐴 The 1–9 Body Condition Scale 1 – Poor: Extremely emaciated; bones are prominent with virtually no body fat. 2 – Very Thin: Thin; bones are easily visible with minimal fat coverage. 3 – Thin: Slightly more fat, but ribs and other bony structures are clearly visible. 4 – Moderately Thin: Ribs are visible, but the horse has some fat coverage. 5 – Moderate: Ideal condition; ribs are not visibly obvious but can be felt easily. 6 – Moderately Fleshy: Slight fat buildup; ribs are harder to feel. 7 – Fleshy: Noticeable fat deposits along the neck, withers, shoulders, and tailhead. 8 – Fat: Significant fat deposits; ribs are difficult to feel. 9 – Extremely Fat: Excessive fat deposits throughout the body, often with a pronounced crest and fat pads. . Please keep in mind, the horses within this video are all ones that have been Wilde Child. We tried to accurately match each horse to a number, but some may be a little off. .
