Mustang & Burro Events Lewis & Clark Mustang History, part 2 | | Special Weanling & Mule Adoption at the Litchfield corrals, November 18th, 2006 This fall, California BLM in Northern California gathered from Twin Peaks, High Rock and Wall Canyon HMA's. There is a great deal of color coming in from these areas. They also gathered a few wild mules from the Twin Peaks area. If you are thinking of adopting a weanling, mark your calendars and get your pens ready for Nov. 18th!! In addition, all mares 4 years old and older are available for the month of November for the reduced adoption fee of only $25. This is to encourage people to take them now. Otherwise if they stay in the holding pens through the winter, and if they are pregnant (most are) they will need to stay in the holding pens almost a full year, in order to raise their foal to weaning age. |  | Thanks to Karen Floyd for the following pix of weanlings at Litchfield:
These pictures were taken November 5, 2006. At this time the staff at Litchfield have not yet decided for sure which weanlings will be in the Special Adoption. |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | | | | NOTE ABOUT THE LITCHFIELD MULES: Wild Mules should only be adopted by people with exceptional experience and ability - they are much trickier to gentle and train than wild horses and burros and you can really mess them up - and get messed up! Don't do it just for the novelty - do it only if you know and love mules and know how to work with both mules and wild equids! At right: Will, Lesley Neuman's "Blue Mule" from Twin Peaks.

Litchfield BLM CorralsWe visited the Litchfield Corrals on our way home from camping in early September, 2006. At the time they had horses left over from the Devils Garden and Coppersmith gathers, as well as new ones from Twin Peaks and a little-known USFS area up near Klamath Falls, called Sisters. The Sisters horses were large, very drafty horses and also quite gentle - three of the mares came right up to us, curious and unafraid. The Twin Peaks horses are large and elegant, testimony to their Cavalry Re-Mount and Old Spanish ancestry. Litchfield is expecting an influx of new horses soon, from Wall Canyon and other Northern California HMA's. 
Two friendly and curious mares greet Michael at the Litchfield Corrals in September. | 
I later heard that this mare went to the Eureka adoption and was adopted! |

Twin Peaks also has a few appaloosas
Twin Peaks is also a producer of donkeys - AND MULES!!!
