Wild Horse and Burro

One day JJ Nolan, a wrangler at Ridgecrest Regional Corrals, was doing a routine check of the facility...When driving down the alley, he noticed a horse that did not “look right.”

I am just the average person who loves her horses. I do not consider myself a trainer because I am always learning. I started working with mustangs in 1998 when I got my first 9-month-old from Idaho’s Challis herd management area.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is protecting the Muddy Creek Herd Management Area (HMA) wild horses and the Sinbad HMA burros from harm by removing unauthorized water troughs on BLM lands.

As a youngster growing up, I rode donkeys, ponies, and horses. I went away to college and my father kept the horse my sister and had shared. She was an amazing horse, believed to be a Morgan/mustang cross. An awesome line back dun with a black mane, tail and legs. More than 25 years would pass before I have horses again.

Radar is my first wild animal, and my first donkey! Training him was a definite change of pace from the horses I am used to!
