Intrepid Animal Learning

04/22/2025

The incredible mustangs we brought here to gentle are ready for their next chapter. We are offering the opportunity for adopters or working students to learn positive reinforcement horse training alongside them as they reach final milestones of skills like leading, handling, and trailering. We may even practice some prep for riding.
🌿 Cassia is a 3-year-old bay mare from Stinkingwater, OR. She’s whip-smart, curious, and loves to learn.
🌲 Sequoia is a 4-year-old drafty bay with lots of white from Bitner, CA. She’s sweet, soft, and grounded.

📍 Located in Clyde, NC. Housing may be available on or near the farm. Flexible arrangements depending on experience and goals.
Please reach out with questions and interest.

After conquering ClickerExpo, these kitties have no worries about the vet

Tell me a trainer without telling me you're a trainer
When at the vet with your sheep, you definitely practice getting on and off the scale while you wait, right?

Thank you to the folks at for helping our sweet Persephone today!

Peanut learned not to be worried about the cats approaching her!

What are the kittens doing?
Eating pill paste!
Even though I have intentionally provided them with treats of varying textures, this one is a bit different. This is an effort to practice ahead of time for the day they will need to take medication.
