Apache Moon
Moon is a young mustang from the Eagle Mountain HMA in Nevada. Rounded up from the wild as a young filly, most likely still at her mother’s side. She was quickly adopted and her first interactions with humans left her abused and traumatized.
She came to me through a connection with a dear friend. She arrived scared of everything- the wheelbarrow, a hat, a loud voice. A halter had been placed on her head, but had been stuck on her for a year. Romeo tore the halter off her one night shortly after she arrived, and her rewilding journey began.
Slowly overtime she’s learned my body and how I take care of the others, and I have learned how she communicates. She is quick to put up walls and fight back due to being beaten down so hard. I continue to hold the space for her light to shine so she can feel safe playing as she grows back into the wild one she was born to be.
