Mustang Mission

  I am so excited to share the story of how I got into rescuing mustangs!  I loved writing this story, reliving memories, and finding pictures from my younger years.  God has blessed me so much and I’m grateful for all He has done.  Please take a second to read my horse story - I hope you enjoy it! *Thank you so much to Rachel Brown (The Narrow Trail) for publishing it!

It’s hard to believe that today is exactly one year since Alamo stepped into my life .  Alamo’s gentling and training process has been an incredible journey, and I wanted to honor this special occasion with a video of Alamo’s story.  Please take a moment to watch it - I think that you’ll be inspired by Alamo!

Alamo amazes me every day!  He is progressing so well and I'm excited to get more rides on him!

There are many indescribable feelings that occur as a horse trainer and this is one of them - being able to trust a once wild horse to stay with you without any physical attachments (ropes) and with no surrounding boundaries.

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

Time spent with the mustangs at sunset is always so peaceful and special...❤️  

Alamo went on his first trail walk recently!  This mustang has really let go of a lot of his fears, especially when he realized he is in control of every situation he experiences.  Even though he had a halter on for this walk, there was never a rope attached.  He chose to stay with me the entire time.  The relationship you have with a mustang isn't like any other horse.   I'm blessed and honored to be a part of Alamo's journey. 🌟

We've been having some beautiful pre-hurricane weather - gorgeous sunsets, lots of wind, and cool temperatures.  The horses are especially pleased about the lack of bugs! We are very blessed to be just on the edge of the hurricane, but we're keeping all those affected in our thoughts and prayers.  Please do the same!

  It was such an honor to be featured by the Wild Beauty Foundation this week!  You can read Alamo's adoption story and learn about his escape for the first time!

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 Today is such a special time to celebrate our freedom as Americans. I’m blessed to spend this day, for the first time, with two icons that represent freedom. Although their freedom of living wild was taken away, I’m grateful to have been able to give them back their freedom of choice and thankful that they have chosen to accept life with humans! Alamo, who is a true mustang warrior, inspires me every day to keep fighting for the mustangs and burros’ freedom. I hope that you’ll be constantly reminded throughout today to thank God for our freedoms and for those who thought of the future generations over themselves, and paid the ultimate price for our freedom. May their sacrifices never be forgotten or taken for granted. I pray that each of you have a blessed, safe day celebrating! Please take a moment now to thank God for our freedoms.

Training with Alamo...

Alamo and I hope that you have a wonderful day and weekend!

Alamo's first day in the field... 

Alamo may still be wild at heart, but his gentling process has come a long way.  I am so blessed to have this mustang, and thank God for him every day. ❤️

  We will never forget Alamo's life in the wild and why he was removed.  May he inspire many Americans to stand up for wild horses and stop the roundups.  Every wild horse and burro deserves to stay free. "The earth is the Lord's."  Psalm 24:1 📸 PC: Greig Huggins

It is such an honor to have been featured in our local newspaper, Effingham Herald, with Alamo!  You can read the article online.

On day #4, Alamo was haltered for the first time!

From a number to a name... His name is Alamo . ❤️
