MCR Alumni Pocket: An Ambassador for Mustangs
This weekend, Pocket attended the Pennsylvania World Horse Expo to represent mustangs on Breed Row. She was the only mustang there for that purpose which meant she was in the ring by herself and she was the only one displayed to the public so she did not get much of a break during the day. She was inside the building from Wednesday night until Sunday evening when we left to go home.

Mustangs We Love: The Horses of Devil's Garden
The Devil’s Garden Wild Horse Territory is 500-square miles of rolling and rough country within the Modoc National Forest just outside of Alturas, California. The area consists of sharp rocks and dense brush — in fact, if the Devil were to grow his own garden, this would be it. It’s a rough, beautiful country managed by the United States Forest Service.
Share the Ranch: Wild Horses and Wildlife
Nestled in the hills near the town of Elk Creek in Northern California, Montgomery Creek is a 2,000-acre ranch with long valleys, rolling hills of chaparral, and steep ridges dotted with grey pines. There are creeks, springs, and reservoirs that provide plenty of water for the wild horses and burros but also the wildlife that call our property home.

Why We Don’t Support Surgical Spaying of Wild Mares
Any day now, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will announce its decision on how it will proceed with the controversial surgical sterilization (spay) experiments it plans to perform on captive wild mares at the Hines corrals in Burns, Oregon. Before that announcement is made, we would like to make it very clear why we do not support this procedure.

What Happens When a Mustang Comes Off the Range
When I first got involved in the wild horse issue and heard about the way the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) provides hoof care to the over 50,000 wild horses and burros at its holding facilities I was horrified. That's because the BLM trims the horses hooves in a chute that turns them onto their sides.
