The past couple of months required stepping back and focusing on what matters most, both for the horses and behind the scenes. That quiet work isn’t always visible, but it’s essential. Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy Ambassador Mustangs Spur (left, Stewart Creek, WY) and Rock (Little Colorado, WY) engaging in some young gelding goofiness one …

When Eduardo Garcia reached out to me about Ragnar, I sent him an adoption application like we always do. A couple of his references sounded familiar. When I called them, one of them said he’s a chef. Once approved, he came out to meet Ragnar and told me what he was planning on doing with …

First, thank you to all of you who thought of Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy yesterday on Colorado Gives Day! The Mustangs and our small team appreciate you.

From that perspective, being outside with three of the Wild …

I mean, isn’t she gorgeous? Valkyrie aka Val is a yearling Mustang filly from Bordo Atravesado NM. She’s bay with ND1, meaning she has some dun characteristics like frosting and – when she’s not growing a winter coat – countershading in place of an actual dorsal stripe. We last measured her at 13.2hh. She string …

I’m turning 40 today. While I didn’t ever consider being here, it sure beats the alternative. I’ve (mostly) enjoyed this – statistically – first half of my life and I’m grateful for all I’ve learned, the people I’ve met and the places I’ve been. These pictures are from a ride this fall with my friend …
