Valentine Update

Remember the little bay filly in Oklahoma, born in holding to a High Rock, NV Mustang mare that needed both a soft landing and training that I posted about a few weeks ago?

We have an update that couldn’t be better 🥳

The story was that she had been adopted, not handled much and wasn’t going to get big enough for her adopters. The original plan was to raise enough funds to have her hauled to Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy , vetted, put some more weight on her and gentle her with the goal of finding her a great home.

We had just done our first fundraiser for her (thank you to those who donated, liked, shared! ❤️) when I saw a comment on a Facebook post from someone who was training and rehabbing Mustangs in Oklahoma.

I went to her Facebook profile and discovered that we were Facebook friends and had messaged briefly about Mustangs some years back.

I reached out and explained the situation. My belief is that resources should be used wisely and to the greatest possible benefit for the horses.

We talked about our horse and Mustang experience. It was nearly identical. Laura quickly agreed to take on the filly and do exactly what we had planned for her, without the expense and stress of the long haul since she lives only about an hour from where the filly was.

Long story short, Valentine’s owner dropped her off last Saturday. The little lady is coming right along thanks to Laura’s dedication and experience, and is making the most adorable friends 🐾🐾

We’ve sent the donations we received help Valentine to Laura to help with the initial feed costs. We are ever so grateful to everyone involved, including our followers, the filly’s owner, Laura and her family, and the Mustang family as a whole, who made this connection and outcome possible ❤️🙏
