This website is owned and created
by Nancy Kerson, a private
citizen - I am not the BLM or anyother branch of  government!

Information about BLM adoptions
is offered as a service, to help
mustangs find homes and to
promote public appreciation of
wild horses and burros.

For information about the BLM
Wild Horse & Burro Program,
please call (866) 4MUSTANGS
or Click HERE

Please direct adoption questions
to the BLM, not to me.

And I sure as heck am not a
Mustang car dealership!

I have NO horses or burros for
sale and am not interested in
buying or listing or otherwise
promoting your sale animals!

  My Favorite General Horse Commentary Site:
THE FUGLY HORSE BLOG

She's outspoken and "snarkly" but always thought-provoking and always on the side of the the horse.

EDUCATIONAL:

Excellent YouTube interview with Dr. Jay Fitzpatrick about contraception for wild horses and other wild animals (has ads, but still worth watching)

For 2008, the Mustang Heritage Foundation has increased the size of the Extreme Mustang Makeover to 200, and added several regional Mustang Challenges. That's a few more than I can take on, but do go to the MHF's website for updates! www.mustangheritagefoundation.org

Check with each one listed below for times and dates and availability. Here are some good ones that I know about:

TRAINERS

PROFESSIONAL TRAINERS AND CLINICIANS:
These are just a few - many that I know personally and can recommend wholeheartedly - others have been sent to me by friends or the trainers themselves. There are many, many more, and I recommend that you "do your homework" and find the right trainer for YOU:
