KBR Horse Net Mustang Close-Up
"Cheyenne" (A.K.A. "Tank")
Tank and Gene
Tank was an abused horse that came in as a rescue. He was put
up for sale by a man who represented him as a Morgan horse and
who abusively presented him in a mechanical hackamore and beat him when he
misstepped or didn't respond. Gene and Deborah forked over $500
to get him away from his
abuser and found out they had a real treasure
Tank really wanted to like people, but he was afraid. When he
was halted, even when ridden in a light halter, he would
instinctively rub his mouth
against his legs because he had been hurt so much by the
hackamore. Gene finally broke this habit by riding him
bridleless in the round corral until
he learned he could be ridden without being hurt.

with Willis and Teego
He is now owned by Ann and Ed Borden, and is doing
wonderfully. He races across the pasture to greet Ann, and they
regularly enjoy long trail
rides in Briones Park.
Tank is extremely athletic. He can keep up with anyone on
trail and in the ring, when doing "drop to a trot" from canter,
he'll bend right down to a canter pirouette! Everyone who knows Tank is grateful to Deborah and Gene for rescuing him and we know Ann and Ed will
ensure he stays well treated and well cared for!
