Coach Monica O. Knight’s Story
Welcome to the captivating world of United Mustangs of America, where passion, dedication, and a deep love for horses have shaped my life’s journey. My name is Monica O. Knight, and I am thrilled to share my story with you.
Since the age of nine, horses have been a part of my life. In 1989, I embarked on a remarkable equestrian adventure that would shape my destiny. It was the year I first delved into the enchanting realm of horse-handling. Little did I know then that this initial encounter would ignite a lifelong passion and propel me to create United Mustangs of America.
On the Central Coast of California, I established United Mustangs of America, a pioneering horse-handling science school. The goal was clear—to enlighten and educate individuals about the profound connection between humans and horses. Armed with knowledge and experience, we strive to build a bridge between these magnificent creatures and our modern world.
At United Mustangs of America, we believe in equipping our students with the tools and understanding to create a harmonious partnership with their equine counterparts. Our curriculum is centered around the principles of horse-handling science, blending traditional wisdom with the latest insights into equine behavior and training techniques.
Currently, my equine family consists of six remarkable mustangs and two magnificent quarter horses. Our herd serves as an integral part of our educational programs. They are not only cherished companions but also valued teachers, guiding our dedicated students on their transformative journey into the world of horse-handling science.
Among these cherished equines, my first mustang, Juno, holds a special place in my heart. Juno became my loyal partner and the living embodiment of my commitment to rescuing and training mustangs. As the ambassador of my journey, Juno serves as a constant reminder of the power of compassion, patience, and understanding in nurturing a bond between humans and horses.
United Mustangs of America is more than just a school—it is a mission, a legacy that I am determined to leave behind. I firmly believe that by spreading knowledge and fostering a deep respect for these majestic creatures, we can create a world where horses are treasured and given the best possible life in a human-dominated landscape.
It is my honor and privilege to guide individuals from all walks of life on this extraordinary path. Whether you are an aspiring equestrian, a seasoned rider, or simply a horse lover, United Mustangs of America welcomes you with open arms. Together, let us explore the wonders of horse handling science and embark on an unforgettable journey that will deepen our understanding of these incredible animals.
Join us at United Mustangs of America and be part of a community dedicated to preserving the timeless bond between humans and horses. Together, we will unlock the secrets of equine communication, cultivate trust, and create a future where horses and humans thrive in harmony.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to sharing this remarkable journey with you.
Warmest regards,
Monica O. Knight
P.S. I owe everything to my mentor (and horse mom) Janiece Johnson Wilson.
