Happy New Year!  I’m really looking forward to this year.  There are so many exciting things brewing under the surface, and I have to admit that we are keeping a few secrets…😉 Last year was a fabulous year, and there were many changes, experiences, additions, and growth.  Click on the video below to get a review of 2022 and watch some special moments!

Ember says "Happy New Year" to all of you!  She is enjoying her training sessions and has been learning a lot of new things, including wearing a surcingle.  Long lining/ground driving comes next!

Merry Christmas! Everyone at Mustang Mission wishes you a very Merry Christmas! We pray that you remember the greatest gift of all - Jesus Christ, who is why we celebrate this special time. May God bless you abundantly during this holiday season. Thank you so much for your support and kindness throughout this past year. I’m looking forward to 2023! ~Erin, Alamo, + Ember “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:  for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21
