THE DUN COLT (Now ZAPATO)
Dun Colt (above far left) was adopted by some friends at the Napa Mustang Day adoption. Before he was adopted, he was used as a gentling demo by the volunteer trainers, Edona Miller and Dixie LaFountaine. At the adopters' request, we took him home for a month of further gentling and halter training.
This is one mellow colt - everything proceeded "textbook" and by the time he went to his new home, he knew all of his basic groundwork moves, loaded easily into the trailer, stood nicely for hoof trimming etc. What a sweet boy! He is a quick learner, very willing, and just so sweet and mellow.
Here is Zapata in saddle training
Zapata has grown up to be an exceptionally handsome gelding, and is doing well with his adopters.
