Donkey & Mustang Training Tips.
In the Mustang and Burro Comparison Series I am recording (at the request of a subscriber) all training sessions for “Doctor” and “Stein”. My hope is seeing how the training goes will help you in your own journey. We brought home 3 wilds on this trip, their names are Doctor, Frank, and Stein. 😃My husband will be doing most of the work with Frank.

INTERESTED IN ADOPTING A WILD MUSTANG OR BURRO SOMEDAY??
I have created playlists for each animal I have adopted or am working with along with playlists for different topics!
1.) • • Mustang & Burro Compar...
This is the playlist for the comparison series. I am labeling these with the training session number so you can see how things go in order.
2.) • • Wild Mustang Frank
This is Franks playlist. Even though Doctor, Frank, and Stein were all brought home at the same time they are all at different stages in training and have different comfort levels.
3.) • • Valhalla wild burro
I include Valhalla playlist because she WAS a donkey with lots of fear so her training went much slower.
❤️ ABOUT THIS CHANNEL❤️
My name is MaryJo and this is my experience as an everyday person learning how to train mustangs and wild Burros. The first donkey I ever got I did not even want, Shamus, came with a mule my husband purchased. Shamus did not know anything when we got him but…after a while I decided to try and train him. I had never trained an equine before and decided to try anyway. He is just a donkey right? Well I fell in love with this dude, I am so grateful this guy fell into my life and I had the courage to try to train him. Now Shamus goes on trail rides, has rode in AZ, ride in a parade, packed out hunting. He is one of the most AMAZING ANIMALS I HAVE EVER HAD!!! I am truly grateful for him!

I appreciate this video so much! I have a mustang that needs ALOT of work! He will run and run and run if he's in the pasture. But when he's in the round pen, he'll face up and do all the things. He's very jumpy as well. I'm very patient and quiet with him for now. Your training is good for me to watch.
