Save a Horse: Rescue and Rehabilitate Mustangs

Hello loyal supporters and friends,

As the seasons change and we prepare for the winter months ahead, I wanted to share an update on the incredible progress we've seen at the sanctuary, all made possible by your consistent generosity.

Program Progress: Trust and Training

We are now truly seeing the benefits of the safety improvements we made earlier this year. The new squeeze system has been instrumental in keeping our entire herd calm and secure as we completed mandatory winter vaccinations and routine dental checks. Reducing the stress of these essential procedures is a massive win for everyone involved!

The horses continue to thrive and impress us:

• Dusty’s Journey: Remember the nervous, underweight gelding we mentioned in July? We’re thrilled to report that Dusty is doing great. He’s gained all his necessary weight and, more importantly, his calm demeanor is a testament to the trust he has built with our team. We are slowly starting basic groundwork and expect him to be a star in training next year.

• New Arrivals: With the space and resources made available through your help, we were able to welcome three new at-risk mustangs from holding facilities last month. They are currently in quarantine and beginning their vital habituation process.

Impact of Your Generosity

We want to give a special shout-out to everyone who supported us during the July Bonus Day. The extra $200 raised was immediately put to work, allowing us to purchase a crucial batch of specialized supplements needed for our oldest mustangs, helping them maintain their joint health as the weather gets colder. Every dollar, whether large or small, translates directly into better care for these magnificent animals.

Looking Ahead: Winter Challenges

Our focus for the remainder of Q4 is on ensuring the herd is safe, warm, and well-fed throughout the festive season. Our biggest upcoming need is securing enough high-quality hay and durable resources to keep every horse safe and warm.

We hope you'll continue to follow our progress. As always, thank you for riding along with us on this journey. Your support gives these horses a second chance at a life of dignity and freedom.
