Left Behind...
With numbers dwindling the past two years at northwest adoptions, it was thrilling to find 15 mustangs heading to new homes this past weekend after the Longview, WA adoption. With 30 horses hauled, that also meant 15 went home with strikes against them, such as the bay gelding pictured above. Such a shame...he was really quite lovely. But with a huge amount of duns in the mix with the recent Oregon gathers, that's what captured the attention of the crowd and not a single dun horse was sent back to the corrals.
One little grulla filly was the exception to the color rules rule and she was sent home on the big truck along with a variety of other nice looking horses. But really, does it matter that they adopted color? No, because that's what they were presented with, and finding homes for duns is better than not finding homes for anyone.
Lesley Newman was on hand for gentling demos. She's pictured here with a yearling gelding who found a new home with a woman who was just gushing over him all day. It was so heart warming to see people excited about our Living Legends!
For those who live in the northwest, don't forget that we've got the Youth & Yearlings event coming up on July 25 in Arlington!
