Visiting Adopted Mustangs!

Image
A few weeks ago, I was blessed to be able to visit six adopted Pryor Mustangs in Virginia.  Even though they were removed from their mountain home, they were adopted and now live on a beautiful farm.  Their stories didn't end in a tragic way, thanks to their wonderful owner! Rain is the daughter of the famous Cloud! "A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast. " (Proverbs 12:10)

Story behind the photo... Last year, in June, my family and I visited the wild horse herd nestled in the Pryor Mountains. This herd is popular because of the famous Cloud, Wild Stallion of the Rockies. This little mustang, Traveler, was just a baby when we visited, but he recently turned two! His family band stopped to graze just about thirty feet from our campsite. The sun was beginning to sink behind a mountain as we were cooking our dinner, and he was happy just to watch us. He was just too adorable! I’m looking forward to seeing him grow up and get a family of his own one day. ❤️

Renegade's Story

Image
Below is a story about a wild horse, Renegade, that was rescued from a livestock feedlot.  Feedlots are a common place for slaughter buyers to visit (while looking for horses to purchase), so Renegade was in danger of going to slaughter.  Unfortunately, this story is very common for Sales Authority mustangs, even mustangs that have been adopted (due to the Adoption Incentive Program ).  That's why Mustang Mission is dedicated to rescuing  mustangs and burros in these situations.
