Yikes! Stripes!
In October I saw a Craigslist ad for a zebra stallion. He wasn't trained and the seller wanted $5000. He sure was cute.
Two weeks later, the ad was back up, but now at $4000. I responded to the ad.
It turns out that Spot is not a mature stallion, but more like a colt at the age of 3. I recorded his progress in video and it is published as a collection on the MustangCamp.org webpage.
I learned a lot about emotional arousal from working with a zebra.Working with the tools of behavior modification made the process relatively safe and efficient. I started a FaceBook page for Zebra Training so I could share my videos. I started seeking another project zebra. Something maybe more challenging? I hope someone has one for me.

I am not in the position to buy your Zebra, but I am very interestedA few emails were exchanged and a deal was made. I had a zebra to train!
in training him. I have gentled over 200 wild horses for the USFS and
I have been been to a Zebra training clinic and am very aware of the
dangers of zebras. I train using methods of behavior modification such
as they would use with marine mammals such as dolphins and seals. I
would like to write his training up as a case study so I would not
have to charge very much for the training. If you sell him, please
pass my contact information along to the buyer. If you don't sell him,
please consider letting me get him halter trained.
