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!

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 per...

  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!

My mustang arrived safe and sound today!  He is settling in well and is very calm.  He and my miniature horse, Cloud, were best friends from the beginning and are staying right by each other. Stay tuned for updates and to learn his name!

Can't wait to meet this beautiful mustang in just one week!  I'm looking forward to starting him on a new, happy life after all of the horrors at the holding pens.  He will be given back his freedom of choice throughout his entire training. ❤️ If you would like to help rescue more mustangs like this one, you can still donate . "Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?" (Job 39:19)  

Do you recognize this beautiful mustang - #7903 ?  I’m so excited to announce that I won him last night on the internet adoption!  The auction was very difficult, as there were people bidding up the horses, trying to make sanctuaries and rescues not get them.  I’m very grateful for God’s help through it all. We will be picking him up at the end of February in Okeechobee, Florida. Thank you so much for your support throughout this journey!

Update: The Bureau of Land Management’s wild horse and burro online auction was having technical difficulties, so the auction did not take place this past week.  It has been postponed to December 7-14, which means that, if I win the mustang's bid, I won’t be picking him up until late February. If you have any thoughts, please don’t hesitate to let me know!  I would love to hear any suggestions you might have for me. Thank you so very much for all of your prayers and support! “Not one of them is forgotten before God.” Luke 12:6

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...
