Is that a Mule?: Merlin

 

Is that a Mule?: Merlin

by Veronica Moore on September 04, 2021

Merlin arrived at Mustang Camp on July 2nd. His owner called it sending him to summer camp, but the goal was to change his attitude about people and  improve the relationship with his owner, Carmen Taylor. She had got him from a previous owner who had pressure trained him and Merlin had some strong pessimistic opinions about rope! I stayed at Mustang Camp for 2 months and got to train him.  He was a bit intimidating and quite pushy at first, but in time, with Pat’s coaching, Merlin began to look forward to his training and sailed through the tasks. On August 21, Merlin’s human, Carmen, spent the day at Mustang Camp going through the training tasks and finishing with Merlin loading up in her trailer and heading home. The opportunity to train Merlin was an extraordinary experience.
