What we are doing to promote Mustangs

 and

The Wild Horse and Burro Expo:

All of the activities we participate in are done at our own, individual expense. 

  •  Attend all prison Adoptions – We are there to answer questions, and have information that goes in the adoption packet on how to reach us if the adopters have any questions. 

 

  • We also maintain an account for the prison gentling program where people can donate to the program.  We use the funds to purchase jeans, boots and tack for the program.  We are currently helping to fund the moving of the Warm Springs Correctional Facility over to "The Farm" - $3500 from the tack fund being used to assist with setting up the new facility.   

 

  •  Ongoing Mustang/Burro Newsletter emailed to almost 300 people, and forwarded to many more people (Weekly question/answers about all aspects of owning a Mustang; Training tips, diet tips, we promote clinics, horsy events, and share our Mustang stories)  

 

  •  Attended the Extreme Mustang Makeover in Texas to "witness history"

 

 Several of us, with our Mustangs and/or Burros,

  •  Participated in the Carson City, Nevada Day Parade
  •  Participated in the Sparks Christmas Parade

 

  •  We had a Mustang at a Virginia City Concert that benefited Wild Horses
