My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Diego came to AAE from the USFS in New Mexico after participation in a wild horse gentling program at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center. Diego is a handsome guy. He has been haltered and leads, but he is still learning to trust and has not a lot of confidence with humans. He will need a patient and committed partner to spend daily and consistent time with him to earn his trust and develop his confidence with humans.

Diego was part of a group gathered off the Jarita Mesa Wild Horse Territory in the El Rito Ranger District of the Carson National Forest. After branding day in El Rito NM on June 30, 2016, they were available for adoption in El Rito for 21 days, (7/1/2016 to 7/21/2016). Then they were moved to Bloomfield NM and were available for adoption there for 28 days, (7/22/2016 to 8/18/2016) where several were adopted. A small group was transported to Flag is Up Farm in Solvang CA, where they went through a wild horse gentling program with students participating at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center. They were available for adoption for 75 days, (8/19/2016 to 11/1/2016) and two more were adopted. After November 1, 2016, the USFS decided a good faith effort had been made (three strikes), and the horses were offered for sale ($25) without limitation.

Diego will be gelded and current with vaccines, deworming, and hoof and dental care, before he goes to his new home.
