Please note the following.

 Gentling, not Bullying.

Training methods that rely on bullying or fear will absolutely not work with these horses under any circumstances. Once a wild horse has learned that they must protect themselves from humans, it is very challenging for the animal to overcome and learn to trust. Creating a bond with a wild horse is essential for successful wild horse adoption. Once they trust you, these horses become bonded to you and will do anything for you. Adopt a wild horse for the thrill of this amazing experience, not to conquer the animal. Training a wild horse is a journey, not a destination.
