Mustang Mission

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 .

The Bureau of Land Management just opened up registration to the public for an opportunity to comment at their Virtual Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Meeting.  This is their biggest wild horse and burro event held each year.  Three comment slots are open: - Public Comment Session 1 - June 30, 12:45 p.m. - 2:45 p.m. MT - Public Comment Session 2 - July 1, 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. MT - Public Comment Session 3 - July 1, 1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. MT Go to this link ( www.blm.gov/programs/wild-horse-and-burro/get-involved/advisory-board ) to register.  Our wild horses and burros need our voices!

Please check out our newest web page " Get Involved "!  I've included information on this page to help give you ideas on how to get involved with protecting our wild horses and burros.

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.
