900 lbs.
Height: 14
hh
Location: Hitchcock, TX
Adoption Fee:
$250
Temperament:
Oni is friendly and easy
going if he is left to
do as he pleases. He
can be difficult to
catch if he knows you
want him to do
something.
Physical problems /
health issues:
None.
Interaction with horses:
He is the alpha male of
a large mixed herd. He
runs the ranch. He
decides who is allowed
to be in his group and
he herds the other
horses around.
Interaction with people:
Oni will come up to
people and be friendly
until he sees you with a
halter and lead rope.
Then he leaves. Oni is
motivated by food.
History:
Donated by an owner who
was transferred out of
state.
Training / abilities:
Oni has had some ground
work but has not been
worked with under
saddle. We are not sure
of his trainability. He
would need a patient and
experienced trainer to
saddle break him. He
would be excellent if
given the job of baby
sitter or guardian for a
small herd. Despite his
small stature, he can
really take control.
Experience level
required to work with
this horse:
If the adopter is
planning on riding Oni,
they need to be very
experienced in training
horses or have an
experienced trainer to
work with him.

Bucked? No

Other comments:
Oni is a wild mustang.
He is friendly and has a
lot of spirit. It is
possible that with a
dedicated trainer he can
be trained. His adopter
must understand his
background and be
willing to put in the
time needed to teach him
what it means to work
with people. He would
do very well in a
forever home with a
small herd that needs a
strong herd boss.
