Mustang Mission Rescue Update:

There are several older mustangs up for sale this month by the Bureau of Land Management, and I would like to adopt one. Will you consider making a donation to help me get the rescue property ready for a mustang that is in danger of going to slaughter or a bad home? I would be grateful for your prayers and help with sharing Mustang Mission’s fundraiser. Any contribution will help to reach $5,000 by October 31!

Your donations will be used to purchase:

- Eight loads of dirt
- A round pen
- Wood to enclose a shelter

If you know of anyone willing to donate any of these items, please feel free to give them my contact information.



Mustang #7903

Mustang #7903 is from the Onaqui Mountain HMA (Herd Management Area) and was captured on July 16 of this year. He is 11 years old and Sales Eligible, which makes him more likely to be bought and end up in the slaughter pipeline. Red Bird’s Trust (who is working to find each of these mustangs good homes) said that older horses are often overlooked by prospective adopters, which places them in danger of being bought by the wrong person.

Update on the Cumberland Island Wild Horses

-

It's been nearly ten months since the lawsuit against the National Park Service (NPS) began, which subsequently began my campaign to save Cumberland Island's Wild Horses.  I launched a petition in April, which now has 1,800+ signatures.  I began visiting the island regularly and recently released a document on my observations and research there.  Visiting Cumberland Island gave me a fun opportunity to film episodes which I've posted on Mustang Mission's Patreon!  I continue to learn so much about the horses and the beautiful island they inhabit. Over the past several months, I have communicated with the NPS.  Currently, they cannot discuss the horses due to the litigation, but have been open to hearing about my research. I have also sent my research to the person over the lawsuit and asked if we could discuss the horses again (we had a long conversation in spring).  I was told that there was no interest in speaking to me. One of the projects I've been worki...

Freedom Given Back: Renegade's Story

Freedom Given Back ----------- In south Oregon, lives one of the most magnificent wild horse herds - an opinion held by many wild horse lovers.  The South Steens Wild Horse Herd is home to some of the most intricately-colored pinto horses - pintos that you never knew could exist.  The mustangs’ home is a spectacular location mainly composed of canyons, but with a harsh climate.  For centuries, only the strongest mustangs have survived. This wild horse herd is followed closely, and in 2006, an adorable blue roan pinto was born.  People all over the country fell in love with this colt and began following his life.  Excitement grew as he became a bachelor, then a band stallion and father.  Renegade thrived in his wild home and lived for his freedom and family.

Cumberland Island Immersion 💦

If you are new to Mustang Mission, please learn why I am working to save Cumberland Island's Wild Horses and how you can help . This past weekend, two of my siblings and I camped overnight on Cumberland Island.  It was one big adventure!  We knew we were in for an adventure when the forecast steadily called for rain on Friday, so we weren't surprised to arrive in St Marys right as it started to rain. It was very windy and rained the entire time on our ferry trip to the island. After disembarking at the Sea Camp Dock, we checked in at the ranger station. We weren't anxious to get soaked, so we stayed under shelter for a while, hoping the rain would slow down. We weren't the only ones, as many other visitors saw the advantage of a roof! Finally, the rain slowed to a drizzle, and we left the comfort of the ranger station to bike a 1/2 mile to our campsite.  Thankfully, the campsite provided some shelter since the trees were so thick overhead. Setting up camp in the rain is...
