Starting a Wild Mustang: First Time Wearing a Roller (Pre-Saddle Training)

Описание: In this video I introduce my wild mustang to wearing a roller for the very first time, one of the earliest steps when starting a young or previously unhandled horse under saddle.

A roller (or surcingle) helps prepare a horse for the feeling of a girth and saddle while allowing them to move freely and build confidence. This stage is part of the pre-saddle training process before a horse is ready to be backed and ridden.

My mustang is still early in his training, so this session focuses on building trust, introducing new equipment slowly, and making sure he feels relaxed and confident with the roller around his body.

Training a wild mustang takes patience and consistency, and each small step helps build the foundation for a confident riding horse. Please note that A LOT of foundational groundwork has happened before I have introduced him to this step! I am only posting small snapshots of a much bigger training regime.
