For $125 you can get a wild horse from the Bureau of Land Management and try and train it. That's what I did this spring. Bua'a ("friend" in Paiute) is a three-year-old mustang from the Beatys Butte wild herd of southeastern Oregon. Boo, as I call him, has a kind, curious eye but he doesn't trust humans – so far, we've brought him mostly pain. No matter how you feel about them, mustangs are a powerful symbol of what it means to be American – and Western. To be "of" the open spaces and big sky country. To be survivors and roamers. Over the next 8 episodes, Boo and I will explore the complex human, cultural, economic and environmental issues that surround mustangs today – as we embark on our own journey of training and trust.

This 8-part podcast series will captivate your soul and bring tears to your eyes.

My name is Alicia Harlov, and my passion for hoofcare all started with my BLM mustang, Vinnie. Shortly after adopting him, he was diagnosed with navicular disease (bone changes, spurs, and suspected soft tissue damage). Determined to not let my hopes and dreams for him fall apart, I began researching what I could do to help him. This led me to Rockley Farm, in Exmoor, England, where I learned about hoof rehabilitation. I visited the rehab facility for myself, and fell in love with hoofcare. Because of this background, I have a soft spot in my heart for horses diagnosed with navicular, and am very passionate about educating owners in regards to navicular diagnosis and rehab. My time at Rockley Farm, and subsequent webinars and clinics with Nic Barker, taught me about correct hoof biomechanics and how to keep performance horses sound and in work.
