RIO
This powerful dark bay mustang came to us in November 2014. He had been rounded up by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and for several years was passed from one human to the next, all of whom tried to train him without success.
Ultimately one person recognized his need to just be a horse, and so he came to us and received a new name: Rio – Spanish for “river.” It’s a fitting name, as his long, flowing mane and tail are distinctive.
Although small in stature, Rio quickly assembled a harem of beautiful mares, and remains an undisputed deputy leader within our herd. Though he will tolerate our nearby presence, will still can’t touch him.
