Celebrating a year since I first saw wild western mustangs!  Our trip to the Pryors was a wonderful time spent with the horses and learning more about their life in the wild. Read more about the trip here . *You can purchase these photos on my store, Nature Art .

I mowed the front field yesterday to give the grass an idea to spread out more!  It is looking good and will be ready for the mustangs when we have enough funds to enclose it.  Please consider a donation to our fundraiser to help us reach our goal!

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.
