Time to (re-)introduce the Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy Ambassador Mustangs. We’ll start with the one that started it all. Lacy, otherwise known as “The Princess”.
She’s a dun, coming 11yo, Divide Basin WY Mustang mare and the first branded Mustang I ever gentled. I brought her home 9 years ago this week.
My favorite fire breathing dragon is all of 14.1 or .2hh tall and the matriarch of our little herd. Lacy is gaited and a tad high strung. She’ll do anything I ask of her, with an opinion of course.
She helps me work young horses, is my main riding horse, does parades and school visits where she patiently stands to let everyone pet her and has been going on pack trips – first as a pack horse, now a saddle horse – since she was 3.
Lacy is one heck of a mountain horse, loves moving cattle and tolerates wearing costumes for events. She’s quick on her feet and very good at keeping me humble and thinking about how I can do better.
She’ll ride in anything from a neck rope to a spade. It’s been one heck of an adventure with this spirited, selectively friendly, smart little mare.
