Do the things you care about

Adopted: Nemo
Nemo, our sweet, kind, sometimes goofy 3yo Stewart Creek WY Mustang gelding with crazy hair, all the colors and a blue eye, went home yesterday. As you can see, he was very much a Mudstang yesterday. It’s mud season on the mountain and entirely too cold for baths. Nemo got not only one human (a …

Reflecting

Adoptable Mustangs: DG Aerin
Aerin’s name would have been America (I mean, look at the shape of that very unique blaze!) had it not been for us going with a Lord of the Rings theme for this year’s Devil’s Garden Mustangs from the Double Devil Wild Horse Corrals . This lovely, fiery little lady is a long yearling (2 …

Dear life …
*Sound on if that caption doesn’t make sense.* I voted today for the first time in a presidential election. I (politely) said to the lady at the in person voting table that I wasn’t leaving until I got a sticker. I told her I had just become a citizen and this was a big first …
