We believe this mare is well on her way to living a successful domestic life as someone's new partner. However, because she was wild for nearly 10 years, she can be reactive when pushed too hard, and it will take her a while to really bond and trust humans.  We feel it would be best that she go to a home with training experience, or someone who has a good trainer/mentor to help them continue her progress.  

The name Pheobe was chosen for this mare, because it means "bright; pure," which we felt was fitting based on her gorgeous, bright star, and her pure, untainted past in the wild.  This mare has proven very smart, full of try, and a quick learner.  As a 10 year old, she has a lot of fear of humans to overcome, but she also has shown that she is very willing to try to trust, and to attempt the things we ask of her.  For this reason, she is now progressing very quickly in her training.

She has all her TIP criteria met.  She halters and leads, stands to be groomed, yields to pressure, backs when asked, lunges very calmly, stands tied, crosses obstacles, picks up her feet, and loads into a trailer. Pheobe is stocky for a mustang, with thicker bone, and has incredible movement, suggesting she will be very versatile for the adopters choice of riding or driving disciplines.  

One side note on this mare is that she also has a hip brand, with a strong possibility that she was part of the fertility control program before being placed for adoption.

Pheobe has been adopted!
