The Wranglers

                                                                           
Dan Havens has spent his whole life working with horses--growing up on a farm in Pennsylvania, wrangling horses on Mountain Dude Ranches, and training horses for his family ranch in Westcliffe, Colorado.

His horse sense is based on a lifetime of experience. After raising many horses of his own, Havens became interested in the Wild Horse and Burro Rescue Program.

He has adopted and trained several wild mustangs for trail riding and ranch work.

He served for fifteen years as a law enforcement officer in Colorado, where he implemented and led a mounted patrol unit, acted as a field training officer, and participated as a wildland firefighter.
