RIDING FREEDOM'S TRAIL 

​Wild Heart Mustangs™ Workshop

AMERICA THE BRAVE

The Wild Heart Mustangs™ logo features a strong symbol of something we feel passionate about - the American flag. The freedom that Americans enjoy has never been free. It's been defended and preserved by countless military men and women who've given their time, energy, strength, heart  - and sometimes their lives -  in the name of freedom.

This page is dedicated to those in the military now, and in the past, and to the families who watched, waited and prayed for the safety of their loved ones.  Let us never forget those who have served this great country.  Thank you ALL for your service!

On this page, you'll find articles about honor, health and healing for the heroes among us, with a section of resources that we hope will help and inspire you. If you have questions that aren't answered here, please let us know and we'll do our best to assist you.

XANDER FROM DARE TO DREAM RANCH

​
​Xander was donated by a person in Rhode Island who adopted him from an auction house.

The 5 years prior to arriving at Dare to Dream Ranch,  Xander was at the farm of a woman who adopts and rehomes horses who also runs a Gestalt equine training program.

Sgt. Xander has issues from his past that has made him skittish and he does not trust easily.  Because of his size (1800 lbs) everyone wants to work with this huge, beautiful animal.

In order to build a relationship with him, clients have to learn to control their body postures, breathing, tone and movements.  He helps them work on non verbal communication, trust, leadership, and relationship skills to help them with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. 

You can learn more about Dare to Dream Ranch by reading about them in our July 2016 issue or clicking on the link above.
