Adoption Update – Shelby

Shelby (formerly know as Guinness) is an 8 year old Grulla mustang mare that was captured in Cedar Mountain, UT and came to MWHR at the beginning of August because her owner could no longer financially afford to keep her. She was with us only about a week before our friends, Kelly & Lee Bates of Cooper Sandy Farm, came to see her and offered to foster and help with her training. Well, fostering didn’t last long as Lee and Shelby quickly became “attached” at the hip. It’s rare that we are able to find the perfect match so quickly but this is one of those truly wonderful moments. We look forward to getting regular updates on Lee and Shelby’s adventures together.

Horse Show!

We would like to thank our friends, Kelly & Lee Bates of Cooper Sandy Farm for helping create awareness for MWHR by displaying our banner at the horse show September 17th. They also brought out their crew of mustangs to the show. It was Shelby’s first horse show outing and it looks like she handled it great.

Horse Fest at Little Creek Farm

We had a very successful outing at Horse Fest at Little Creek Farm in Decatur, GA on the 17th of September. We raised $500 for MWHR thanks to everyone who stopped by and supported us. A very special “thank you” goes to Chris Lobkowicz with Mustang Rescue Network for inviting us and bringing her mustang mare, Angel, to meet and greet with the public. Angel was a wonderful ambassador.

MWHR Branded T-Shirts

Please help support MWHR’s efforts in rescuing and rehabilitating mustangs by purchasing this cool t-shirt. Thank you to Michele Creates for helping us with the artwork!

The t-shirt design is the alpha angle code used for freeze mark interpretation on mustangs. Their freeze mark or “brand” is used to identify each horse uniquely and provide their date of birth.

 

Meet Mercy!

MWHR is currently housing Mercy, a 6-year-old mustang mare. She is available for adoption or foster through the Mustang Rescue Network. She does not appear to have had any natural horsemanship training in the past, and we do not believe she has been ridden. The good news there is that she doesn’t have bad habits that need to be fixed!

Additional Information about Mercy can be found on the Mustang Rescue Network’s website as well as their Facebook page.
