Mustangs Available for Adoption

We named her Star when she arrived here in Dec. 2002. She was brought here by kind adopters who could not keep her. Although she had only minimal handling she was trusting and in excellent shape. Her color is light Bay with a white star. She is approx 14.3-15 hands. She had been captured in the Calico Mountains Herd Management Area, near Gerlach, Nv. on Dec.18, 2000 at 2 years old. Now at 10 years she still has many years to give to a special person who can appreciate her kind, gentle nature. Are you her person?

I am only 14h and 12 years old. I am a beautiful flashy bay gelding with a long flowing mane and tail. I have been ridden, but I am very quick under saddle. My gaits are reminiscent of a Paso Fino. I need a small adult rider to put some mileage on me and to introduce me to new environments and then someday I would be a good mount for a child.

I am Sue, I am a 12 year old mare. My soft brown eyes are kind and gentle, although I am still a little distrustful. I am a beautiful liver chestnut with a flaxen tail and mane. I need a patient handler to bring me along. I can lift my feet for the blacksmith and tolerate saddling. If you choose me I will be a faithful friend and should do well at any discipline.

Thunder Adopted

Hello, my name is Thunder. I am an absolute favorite here. I am flashy, have great confirmation and free flowing gaits. My extended trot is beautiful. I am now 10 years old and stand at 14.2h. When I arrived here in 2004 I needed treatment for a squamous cell carcinoma and lost my left eye, I was also gelded that same day. I have learned to compensate very well and am doing well with gentling and early training. People here think I would be a great dressage prospect. I'm looking forward to a loving home and a purpose.

Jazz is my name. Just look at my unique spots. I am half Mustang and half Appaloosa. I am 7 years old, gelded and 14h, just right for a young rider or small adult. I would make a wonderful driving pony. I am curious, eager and quick to learn. Do you have room for me?

My previous home named me Maude. I am a big sturdy mare at 15h. I have been ridden western for most of my 21 years but still need to learn a lot about ground manners. I have plenty of energy and lots of good years ahead for a loving family. I prefer to be pastured alone. Please consider me.

Charlotte is what they call me. I am a big boned 15h bay mare. I came here at age 17 and had never been handled. In the past year I have learned to trust and love humans. I allow them to groom and lead me. I have been ridden and think I like it! I would be a worthwhile project for a kind and knowledgeable person.

LC is a Dun Paint mare, 12 yrs old, 15h approx 1000 lbs. She became a project of the New England Chapter of AMBA, American Mustang and Burro Association, when she was found waiting her fate in a stockyard in Florida. She came to Maine in April of this year with little or no handling. She now stands ground tied for grooming and saddling and is being ridden in a large ring. She handles obstacles and new experiences well and is very willing. LC is good for the blacksmith and vet. Her new owner should be experienced and familiar with Least Resistance Training. This mare is very sweet and has great potential, but will not be bullied.She was captured in the Twin Peaks HMA (Horse Management Area) near Susanville, California in 2001 and spent some time in a sanctuary before being shipped for sale. Twin Peaks is noted for horses of size and color. LC made a public appearance at the Equine Affaire in Springfield, Mass. on Nov9-10 and 11th. She stood in the stall at the American Mustang and Burro Assoc. booth as hundreds of people viewed her. This beautiful, intelligent mare walked by moving horse trailers and loud equipment, other horses and the crowds to enter the building. At the end of the 3 days she was blanketed for her trip home and walked quietly onto the trailer.

Amazing Grace Adopted

Amazing Grace has been adopted by Jim and Stacy Gogalinski of Diamond G Farm, Newcomb, Maine. Grace moved to her new home on Sat., December 22nd. The new, deep snow made it impossible to maneuver the horse trailer to the usual position. A decision was made to just lead Grace out of the building through the snow and into the nearby trailer.

Jim led her quietly and without hesitation into the trailer. (Amazing to all of us who have waited patiently for our horse to load). After the 2 hour journey Jim led her off the trailer, up a long driveway to their beautiful barn. She followed him into her new large, deeply bedded stall and began munching on her hay. It was a moving experience to be part of.  We could call this a happy ending, but it is really just the beginning. Jim is knowledgeable, patient and kind and will do well. He promises to share their progress. Watch for updates.

Sally

Sally is between 3-4 years old. She is a 14 hands, 923lb chestnut mare with a stocky build. Can be haltered and groomed and is good for the farrier. Curious and willing. Leads but needs work.
