Justin Dunn is a nationally recognized horse trainer/clinician with over 25 years of personal study. Founder of the American Mustang School, Justin Dunn provides equine assisted learning therapy to veterans, military, first responders and others who keep us safe at great risk to themselves.

As a professional horse trainer/clinician, Justin also offers services for mustang adopters. His specialty is in helping people and mustangs build their relationship. He helps people improve themselves so that their horse can be better, too. Life improvement for both the individual and the horse. Justin wants to help people adopt and understand the American mustang and help mustangs understand people.

About:

Justin Dunn has been an avid rider since he was a child. He's competed in Mustang Makeovers and adopted the Mustangs he trained to help him in his work. He owns and operates the American Mustang School. His experience with and dedication to the American Mustang has helped Justin to develop a horsemanship method that allows humans to enter effectively and therapeutically into relationships with mustangs. One thing you might find surprising; all of Justin’s horses are barefoot and are ridden using Bit-less bridles he designed. This provides for exquisite communication for the rider and unparalleled comfort for the horse. (Interestingly, Justin does not use spurs either!)
