“We don’t usually do this, but…” is not how I’ve begun any other post before, but here we are.
*Before I let the 
out of the 
, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for several very generous and unexpected year end donations, for our recurring donors and for everyone who took some of their stocking stuffer funds and sent it our way.
It means so much to us, it makes all the difference for the Mustangs that come to us in hopes of finding their happily ever after and for Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy being able to continue doing what we do. Thank you, you know who you are!*
Ok, here’s the , that’s of course not a cat, but a filly that deserves a chance at life.
We were contacted by the owner of a coming 3yo titled Mustang filly, telling us they need help finding a safe place for her to go. She’s not had any formal training, has been living with their cattle and is not a good fit for her owners due to size.
Apparently she’s on the shorter side with a small frame.
When I saw that first picture, I thought we ought to try and get that little girl here. She’s a facility born baby out of a High Rock, NV Mustang mare. She deserves a shot at a good life, a job and a family that loves her.
The filly is all the way in Oklahoma. I’ve reached out to some of our haulers who regularly go that far. They’ve given us a very reasonable quote for transport.
The owner has been very cooperative. They want the horse safe and taken care of. They were able to run the filly into a trailer and have their vet draw blood. We’re currently awaiting the results of the Coggins test and with a negative Coggins the vet will write a health certificate. Those are requirements for horses to legally travel across state lines.
I showed her picture to Tay Martin . She’s on board. I’d not consider bringing in another horse in the middle of winter without her support. Caring for horses at 8700ft in Colorado when the daytime high is well below freezing and there’s ice and snow everywhere is no joke.
I’ve told the owners and our haulers we’ll take the filly, give her all the TLC she needs, gentle her and find her a wonderful home, if we can raise the funds to do it.
We need to raise $4000 to make this happen. My goal is to get her here by the middle of February and call her Valentine, maybe Val for short.
Do you want to be part of a Valentine’s Day miracle for this little brown filly? If so, you’ll find ways to donate in the comments. You can also use the donate button on our Facebook and IG pages or mail a check to

As always, please comment, like and share, and thank you for your love and support!
*We will NOT be negative here, particularly not towards her owners. They could have easily taken her to the sale barn, made a couple hundred bucks and washed her hands of her. Let’s come together and be part of the solution rather than the problem. Please and thank you
