Went to a BLM Mustang adoption event today

[sfmini]

There were 5 burros

and many mustangs. Mares, geldings, stallions. Today was a preview, tomorrow and Sunday are the actual adoptions. Libby (Mistyrose) and I took our cameras and Lily and spent some time taking pictures. Lily had a grand time being loved on by many people. Only one person mistook her for a Pembroke OH! It was a great socializing opportunity.

Those are really nice pictures! Would it be ok if I used them in my final science project? Its on what happens to the mustangs when they begin to over-populate their ecosytem.

I always thought it would be fun to go pick out and adopt a mustang and train it. My fav out of your pictures are the black one on the far right in the 2nd photo and the chestnut or sorrel in the 5th photo.

So, did you go home with anything?

 

[Charley]

I hope they all get good loving homes.

Awe i hope they get good homes, those donkeys always pull my heart strings for some reason, just always had a soft spot for them

.

Did they have any minis by any chance?

A friend has one of the few permits in the state for mustangs. It is for 2,000 total per month. They keep all the foals but must maintain all the accepted mustangs & care for them until they pass on. A monthly fee is paid per mustang to care for them by the BLM/govt. They are wonderful to watch gazing on his pastures. There is almost ever type, color & age mixed in. He is related to Waltons/

Wal-mart; his primary job. Glad someone is able to care for them like they are taken care of.

I have gone to a few BLM adoptions, but they always tug at my heart and I want so bad for all of them to find perfect loving homes, so now I TRY to stay away from them. We have a neighbor who breeds/raises spanish mustangs. I know--not the same but still mustangs. I hope all of these horses and donks found homes.

[SIZE=12pt]This is what you can have after LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of time, patience and training. This was 20 years after Chica was captured in WY. We lost Chica (Miss American Pie) while I was away managing a show, when I was pregnant with Zac. I had been blessed with her for 21 years
