- One year ago...
I couldn't hand feed Swagger.
I couldn't touch Swagger at all.
I couldn't even stand up near him..
Now, look at the progress!!!!
Not only can I hand feed, but I can touch a lot of his right side, I can sometimes get that itch for him, I can talk near him, move around him, and so many more things! He's much such amazing progress!
Each day now has little bits of progress!

• Swagger is a very unique, feral horse.
• Please resist the urge to offer suggestions. I know there are many techniques that work well for wild/feral horses, but this is the path I have chosen for myself and Swagger.
I have worked with Swagger for 200 hours over the 15 months I've had him.
• I am NOT looking for help, unless you are willing to come to Fort Worth and work with me in person and/or you have been following our journey since Summer 2023.
• Please do NOT recommend a trainer I should follow unless you are offering to help pay for training.
• This is a WILD horse. He may look calm because I work to keep him under threshold, but he is NOT a tame horse! He only accepts touch on his body in certain places and on certain days.
• I do not own the property and am limited to changes that I can make to the space.
• I am working with a professional and am a professional myself.
• I welcome ideas and suggestions from people who have followed our progress in its entirety (since May or June 2023), and understand the restrictions and time limitations we are under.
• I pay over $800/month for board and feed and professional training (virtual lessons).
• He is a feral horse, but not a mustang. He is gaited.
• He's a 6 year old Appalachian brumby gelding.
• He is getting a mixture of oats and sweet feed and alfalfa nibblets.
• I pay Michelle Martiya to work with me and Swagger virtually. We have been working together for over 15 months. She is an amazing animal trainer!
