# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Liberty Mustang Gentling Retreat
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 22 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sun, 28 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us in a transformational experience for yourself and the mustangs! This retreat will focus on training theory as it applies to working with wild horses (as well as how that relates to us in our daily lives). We will spend time in nature focusing on introspective journaling and meditation as well as fun and active community building activities with the group. We'll be working with freshly wild horses to create their first impression of what life with humans will be like for them - without the use of restraint or force: open spaces, consent based, no pressure or aversive training techniques. How do we get an extremely fearful and skeptical wild horse to freely choose to engage with us? Using positive reinforcement and awareness based training techniques, we will work towards having your horse trained in the basic behaviors such as haltering, leading, picking up the feet and loading into a trailer so you can bring her home with you if you're ready to adopt. Not sure if you're ready for horse ownership? No worries, you can work with one of our adoptable horses or just observe from the sidelines.

* Work with an untouched mustang: six payments of $495 ($2970 Total)
* Work with one of our adoptable mustangs (training levels vary): six payments of $395 ($2370 total)
