National Wild Horse Adoption Day
Hands down the best horses I have owned have been rescues…. I’m Susan Allen in studio for Jeff, who is out harvesting and when I return after the break I’ll tell you why. I have been blessed to have had some nice horses over the years, but the ones that captured my heart and out preformed my wildest expectations were saved from dire situations. The first, many years ago was an ex race horse covered in rain rot that blossomed into a beauty featured in Horse and Rider magazine. The most athletic and intelligent equine in our herd today is a mare that ran wild until she was eight, and my talented little heel horse Mighty Mouse is a rescue. It brings me joy to have played a part in this legacy of horse makeovers… that is why I am such a fan of the work of Mustang Heritage Foundation and their Extreme Mustang Makeover Challenge. This group showcases not only the versatility of America’s wild horse but also the creativity of those that train them. This coming month they have joined forces with other national animal advocacy groups for a single goal, to see one thousand wild horses find new homes by September 26th The first National Wild Horse Adoption Day nationalwildhorseadoptionday.org . So…If horses are your passion please consider adopting a mustang this month. The Mustang Heritage Foundation at mustangheritagefoundation.org has great resources to guide you through the process. These icons of the West deserve more than a life in a holding pen. Unleash their potential, trust me, in the end you’ll find like I have, that they unleashed yours. I’m Susan Allen
