This was Lorena’s (2yo Twin Peaks CA Mustang filly) first time being ponied. Lorena, now Wren, has since gone home to her adopter in Michigan. I just got an update yesterday. Kiddo is doing well, turning into quite the ham, and from the sounds of it landed exactly where she needed to be. I’m happy …

“You never get a second chance to make a first impression” – Andrew Grant Some of you know I’m a counselor in my other life. I work with kiddos and sometimes with their adults. (Un)fortunately, I’m just as feral there as I am the rest of the time. I recently met with someone who had …

Here’s Fiadh (pronounced Fee Ah, not like the car), 2yo Twin Peaks CA Mustang filly, confronting our curtain about its audacity to blow in her face on a particularly windy afternoon. Then she walked over to me like “Did you see that???” She’d never ‘met’ the curtain before. I adore this filly. Not just because …

With spring in the air, green grass coming up and new (wild)life soon or already coming into the world, I’m itching to get back into the still snow covered mountains soon-ish. During …

Lorena, 2yo Twin Peaks, CA Mustang filly, left with hauler Brice Bebout for her new home in MI a few days ago, just in the nick of time before another storm. I’d like to thank Tay Martin for taking care of and loving the wild ones that come through Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy to …

Deets and Woodrow, our 5yo NV Mustang boys, an appy and a silver bay, earned their roommate privileges yesterday. They were in a pen together when we picked them up and are really good friends, zero drama and personalities that mesh well. We separated them for gentling when they got here and they’d been living …

I’m going to do a little myth busting here, based on my experience. Not just mine, I know. I also appreciate if your experience has been different, this isn’t about right or wrong. These four young Mustang mares are the most recent kiddos to join our program here at Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy . …

This guy though… He’s a Golden Retriever puppy that accidentally ended up in a rather large horse’s body. He’s a coming 4yo Antelope Hills WY Mustang gelding. He does all the things and then some and is technically ready to find his person. But only technically. He was gathered as a baby and doesn’t have …
