There are thousands of older mustangs in holding and most people won’t even consider giving one a home, and I understand why.  I’ve trained an older gelding myself - it’s not easy.  I’ve seen many older mustangs be passed up for adoption multiple times or sold for as little as $25.  They’re unwanted by most people. That’s one of the main reasons why I started Mustang Mission, to give these older mustangs a chance .  On this Giving Tuesday, will you consider donating to our facilities expansion fund to enable us to continue rescuing older mustangs?  Even a donation of $5 would be a huge help and we have a gift for you, too! It’s been almost a year since I won Alamo on the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) online horse auction.  When I began browsing through the auction a year ago, I decided that I would choose between three older geldings.  One was dark brown, one black, and then there was Alamo.  After much prayer, thought, and speaking with a person who knew them on the range, I decid

Dear Friends, I can hardly believe that 2022 is almost over!  As I was looking back over this past year of so much growth, several “firsts” came to mind, but one particularly stood out: I had to say “no” for the first time to mustangs in need .  That was one of the most difficult moments for me.  Knowing that I couldn’t save these mustangs, who needed so much help, made me reconsider my decision to start a mustang rescue. Both times I had to say “no” was because we didn’t have room to take another mustang.  Even though fundraising for fencing may be a “boring” aspect of a horse rescue, it’s so important.  It means more mustangs saved - a difference made in their lives.  The proper facilities are the reason why we CAN save mustangs.  Otherwise, it would be impossible to rescue them. I know that this is only the beginning. I will have to say “no” many more times - even though it hurts - and I know it hurts you, too.  That’s why we’re in this together.   We can only bring about change tog

Happy Thanksgiving! Today we are giving thanks for you! Thanks to you, two lives were saved this past year. I hope you know how grateful we are for your support! I am so thankful to God for all that He has done to make this mustang rescue possible. There have been many times when I couldn't solve a problem, but God stepped in and made everything work out! Lastly, I am thankful for my mustangs. They have been a huge blessing in my life! Starting this mustang rescue has not been easy, but they have made it all worth it. What are you thankful for? If you have the time, I’d love to hear back from you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. ~Erin, Alamo, + Ember “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him,  and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting;  and his truth endureth to all generations.” (Psalm 100:4-5)

Sweet Ember is coming along so fast in her training.  I'm really looking forward to starting her under saddle very soon!  If anyone has a pony-sized saddle that they'd like to donate, please let me know!
