Meet the new Mustangs!
2yo dun (roan?) filly from Twin Peaks CA,
3yo palomino mare (with a face that’s chocolate on one side ) from Little Colorado WY,
3yo bay roan mare facility born to a Stewart Creek WY mare,
3yo tri colored pinto mare (NOT a paint, for my fellow color/terminology nerds) facility born to a Stewart Creek WY mare.
No names yet, I’m thinking maybe we’ll do a little naming fundraiser. Thoughts?
They settled right in last night and I’m looking forward to working with them today. I’m toying with the idea of starting one or two of them under saddle before placing them because I believe there’s a huge need for saddle trained Mustangs and the more marketable skills a horse has, the safer it’s going to be.
You’re always welcome to electronically submit an adoption application through our website. Even if we don’t have the ideal wildie for you right now, we’re happy to work with you to help you find a good match… It needs to fit not just for you but also for the horse.
Many thanks to the Cañon City BLM Wild Horse & Burro Program staff for having us, for helping everyone find what they were looking for, patiently shuttling people back and forth, answering endless questions and walking through the pens with us, and for quietly sorting and loading the selected horses.
Thank you to Tay Martin for muffins and for getting the new kids’ pens ready. It was so nice to just be able to unload and sort them into their pens after a long day and 20min of navigating post-snowstorm mud while backing the trailer up to the loading alley.
We’re excited to welcome our new students here at Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy and grateful for the opportunity to facilitate their start into domestic life.
