Stetson came to us as an owner relinquishment for our training and adoption program in 2021, he went through months of professional training with a very well versed mustang trainer in our network and although he could be haltered, he was so incredibly fearful and dangerous to himself and others around him. He had a strong flight and fight instinct and if you were in his path, he wouldn’t take that into consideration. He was rescued from an auction and having known very little about his past, you could tell that he wasn’t treated fairly or with kindness. His desire to live wild was so strong that we decided the best thing for him would be to turn him out with our sanctuary herd where he could finally live in peace away from the stress of domestic life.
