MOON MOUNTAIN SANCTUARY & RESCUE

Training

At Moon Mountain, rescue doesn't end with saving a life. It continues with how that life is guided forward.

Our clinics and training programs focus on gentling, creating safety without force. We are honored to have Navajo gentlers on our team. Wisdom keepers whose horsemanship is rooted in patience, respect, and relationship.

Together, we help horses move from fear and survival to confidence and readiness, opening a path toward adoption and long-term safety.

This work isn't about breaking a horse. It's about freeing one.
