Mike’s motto:
Leadership through trust, partnership through leadership; trust, partnership, and leadership through; love, understanding, and communication
Since adopting my first Mustang I have been intrigued by their sensitive emotion, and feel, their mental and physical nature as well as a spiritual side that they will expose to you once you have earned their trust.
I am dedicated to the education of the public on the American Mustang, their trainability, and their need to survive and thrive in today’s culture. I would like to help you achieve your horsemanship goals, no matter what they may be, through working with, and learning through the wild horse.
I believe if I can help you learn to communicate to this “wild” horse you will be able to communicate to your more domesticated horse. Your basic skills will be tested and sharpened, your horsemanship raised to a much higher level.
Dedicated to educating the public on the trainability of the
“Wild American Mustang”
Mike Branch has traveled extensively with the Bureau of Land Management, where he selects wild mustangs from the herds brought in for adoption and demonstrates the gentling process. Many times Mike has had wild mustangs saddled and on their backs in only one to two hours.
Through several mustang clinics that Mike has held over the past year, he has seen the great benefits of working with a wild Mustang for the “average” horse owner. This has lead to the opening of the “Wild Mustang School”, located near Knoxville, Tennessee, USA.
