Billy Jack's Story:
Billy Jack found himself in a kill pen in Texas, destined to ship to slaughter on April 9th, 2024. Thanks to our incredible Nirvana Family, we were able to save him from that horrific fate!
This mustang has NEVER in his life had the opportunity to run free- he was born in a BLM holding facility, where currently over 65,000 mustangs languish, removed from their homes. He was finally adopted in 2018, and had spent 5 years in "training" likely with various homes even though his kill pen photos clearly show he is still quite frightened around humans and what they demand from him.
He arrived home to Nirvana on April 18th, 2024! He was skinny and scared, but it became clear quickly that he does love scratches and really does want to trust. It is a shame that bad training practices have been used on this sweet boy as he likely would have been extremely easy to train as a willing equine partner using more horse centered training approaches, with connection and trust at their core!
We look forward to getting him healthy and out with his first very own herd with mixed sexes and ages so he can truly know what it's like to be a wild horse. We imagine he will always be one who will come up for scratches and treats though, he is sooo sweet!
