Mares Update

As our snow has been turning to mud and crazy winds helped dry that some, we’ve been enjoying working with these four ladies.

Eclipse, Cinder, Rapunzel and Fiadh are doing well and I feel incredible fortunate to have them. Mustangs are individuals and some take more easily to the people thing than others. These mares make my work extra fun and have me excited for their futures.

Eclipse tends to be initially reserved but warms up quickly and is a thinker with a quiet mind. Cinder is a bit of a busy body who melts when you touch her. Rapunzel has turned from sassy pony to “pick me!” attention hog and Fiadh believes everything in her environment is there to serve her in some way.

These ladies will make wonderful partners for their humans once they find them. They have shown that they retain well what they’ve learned and are eager to participate.

Leading, lungeing, tying, body control, backing, crossing obstacles, grooming, they’ve taken it in stride. We’re practicing sending, picking up feet, loading next.

Tay Martin is looking forward to giving them a spa day so we can turn those wild, fairy stirrup donning manes into silky flowing ones. At least for a little while. That means spray bottle practice too. I don’t foresee much trouble with that.

We are accepting adoption applications on these ladies. For those of you who have submitted one already, I’ll reach out to you once we’ve spoken to all of your references. Kelsey is doing her best on that, while also having a day job and her own Mustangs.

The application is fillable and submittable online and can be found on w i l d h o r s e o u t r e a c h . o r g

Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Guffey CO.

All horses are adopted out with training that goes beyond TIP requirements and can be tailored to the adopter’s needs. We make sure you and the horse you pick are a match, we want both parties to be happy, feel safe and be successful.

Adoption 💲 vary based on the horse. For every horse that can command a higher adoption 💲, we have several that cannot, need more time or require special care. Adoption 💲 go directly back into our program and help us adopt, gentle and place more wildies into suitable homes.

We’d like to thank the anonymous supporter who sent Gus a bag of Vitamin E pellets. We couldn’t do this without you all.

PM or email us with questions.
