We’ve got Names!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our naming fun-raiser, the four new Mustang mares are no longer “the palomino, the dun roan, the pinto and the dun”.

Instead please welcome…

Eclipse: 3yo palomino Mustang mare – with the most unusual facial coloring – from Little Colorado WY.

Cinder: 3yo dun roan Mustang mare, facility born to a Stewart Creek WY mare.

Rapunzel: 3yo tri-colored pinto Mustang mare, facility born to a Stewart Creek WY mare.

Fiadh (Irish, pronounced Fee Ah): 2yo dun Mustang filly from Twin Peaks CA.

Everyone is curious and reasonably friendly, leads, lunges, is working on body control and has been tied and brushed ( You’d never know. Mud season is my least favorite season🤦‍♀️). I’m super impressed with all four of them.

They were a little put out about the new rules and expectations the first couple of sessions.

“What do you mean give to pressure? And why would I look at you when I need to be worrying about where my friends are? You want me to do what with which part of my body?Now don’t touch me there!”

With consistency, patience and finding workarounds to explain things in ways that make sense to them, they’re starting to figure out and enjoy this people thing.

These girls will be available for adoption to suitable homes. We want you to be happy and the Mustang you adopt too.

If you’re interested in adopting, we ask that you head on over to: w i l d h o r s e o u t r e a c h . o r g and fill out our adoption application. That helps us match adopters with the right horse for them, and keep track of what you’re looking for if we don’t have exactly what you’re looking for yet.

You’re always welcome to PM or email us with questions.

Thank you again to everyone who showed up, had fun, played and donated along with their name suggestions! We’re so grateful for you all and we couldn’t do what we do without you.

Late post today because Monday is my school day (counseling stuff) and I wasn’t cool enough to do this early in the morning before school. Many thanks to Tay Martin and Jennifer Martin who did the drawing of names for us 🐴🐴🐴🐴❤️

Want to help but it’s not your time to adopt, donate or volunteer? Like, comment on and share this post to help these horses find the great homes they deserve.
