Amber & Ruby
They came here together. They found wonderful adopters who reached out to us before we officially posted these mares within weeks of each other.
Now they will be going on to their respective new chapters within weeks of one another.
Amber is an adorable 6yo buckskin Mustang mare from Meadow Valley Mountains, NV. She has the longest ears and the cutest ear hair.
Ruby is a beautiful 4yo sorrel rabicano Mustang mare from Little Colorado, WY. She’s brave, sassy and kind.
I was holding off on posting them because they both have their quirks. Many Mustangs do, and these two especially.
Amber is wicked smart and despite being potato shaped she’s quick and athletic. She’s also the most ear shy horse we’ve ever had. I’ve got dozens of hours, a round of pain meds and a chiropractor visit into working with her on that. She’s doing much better.
Ruby is lovely and a favorite around here. She needs boundaries. She’s bold and has big feelings, sometimes about the strangest things. She has disagreements with the highline that hangs in her pen. Sometimes with a tree she’s tied to. She’s teething and she’s not a fan of that either.
Both mares found adopters willing to embrace them as who they are, and to put in the time, resources and effort to help them become the best they can be.
Ruby is staying in Colorado. Amber is headed to saddle training before she leaves the US.
We’re so excited for them and their new humans.
And so grateful to our supporters near and far,
because you’re the reason we’re able to do this work:
To give scared wild horses the time they need,
quirky ones the opportunity to find just the right human,
plain ones the chance to find someone who finds them beautiful,
and flashy ones the luxury of finding the best fit for them too, because they’re at an almost bigger risk than the less exciting looking ones.
Might sound weird but it’s true. Happy to elaborate if someone is curious.
Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy , a 501c3 #nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Mustangs and adopters be safe and happy, long-term, has other gentled wildies currently looking for amazing homes and a few that are taking their sweet time. Your support is always needed and appreciated.
It’s time I update our wishlists again. In the meantime, if you’d like to help us feed and care for the Mustangs still waiting to find their person, you can do so via the donate button on our website w i l d h o r s e o u t r e a c h . o r g , on Facebook or IG, or via the l¡nks in the comments.
