| This website is owned and created by Nancy Kerson, a private citizen - I am not the BLM or any other 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.
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! This website:

OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN
WILD HORSE GENTLING:
 
| | WILD MUSTANG MULES | |  Ginny Freeman with "Tommy" (ThomASS)the BLM mule colt and his mentor-friend, Ashley the burro. Tommy is one of 5 young mules brought in with the 2006 Twin Peaks gather. Although ThomASS started out seeming as though he might be successful in captivity, he backslid after going to a new owner, and in the end, the Freemans decided he would be best served by going to a permanent sanctuary. he now lives at Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue in Tehachapi, CA.
| 
Lesley Neuman's "Blue Mule" Will, also from Twin Peaks | We came across this animal while driving past a dry lake bed in Nevada north of Pyramid Lake and east of Susanville (map says Smoke Creek Desert). I think it looks more like a mule than a burro and was surprised to learn that there are wild mules in CA and NV, especially in the Twin Peaks HMA which could be where we were. Of course, I don't even know that this was a wild creature--but, the area is quite desolate. Ruth Bayliss |  |
| | |  Above left: Colby, owned by Sal in Northern California, and at right, Eleanor, owned by the Kerson Family, are full-sibling mules out of an Oregon mustang mare and a large domestic donkey. They were bred by Rhonda Zinkel of Etna California. |  | Many mule lovers have learned that mules produced from adopted BLM mares and domestic donkeys produce an excellent hardy mule. Love Mules? Video Mike has a series of videos about America's premier mule event, Bishop Mule Days |  since 12-29-2006
