New Rescue – Molly
MWHR welcomed Molly to the farm last Wednesday. Molly came to us from our friends at Feathered Friends Cockatoo and Horse Sanctuary in AL. Back in December, Feathered Friends saved Molly from a kill pen in LA. We have no history on Molly prior to her arrival at the kill pen so she is spendingContinue reading “New Rescue – Molly”
New Rescue – Smoochie
MWHR welcomed Smoochie to the farm this past Saturday. Smoochie is a 13 year old mustang gelding who was born in a New Mexico holding facility. Much of his history is unknown due to the fact that he is an untitled mustang who appears to have “slipped thru the cracks” of the system. About 2Continue reading “New Rescue – Smoochie”

Mustang Training – Midnight
Midnight has been getting a little “refresher” on his round pen work. MWHR evaluates and works with all of our mustangs as part of the rehab process before being put up for adoption. Special thank you to our volunteer/trainer, Chris, for working with our horses.

New Rescue – Ally
Ally, the newest member of the MWHR family, is a mustang mare that was surrendered to us by her owner over the weekend. We don’t know much about her but believe she is in her early 20’s and has been ridden in the past. She’s a sweet girl but definitely needs some weight and TLC.Continue reading “New Rescue – Ally”
