T.I.P. horse

We went to Burns yesterday and picked up 2 wild horses for a client. The white mare is a 6 year old form Cold Springs HMA. The black gelding is a 1 1/2 year old gelding from the same place.

Sunrise as we waited to load.

Kevin worked the mare first today. She is extremely flighty and snorts a lot. She is very afraid of us and is shaking anytime we come near her. Kevin says she is wonderfully spirited. He likes her a lot and has already started a bond within minutes. He calls her little lady.

Princesses Bio

I am a five year old mustang mare from the Beattys Butte Heard Management area. I was rounded up from the wild in the fall of 2007. I spent a year in the corrals in Burns waiting to be adopted. Finally I was chosen for the Extreme Mustang Makeover to be held in Albany, Oregon on March 21st. I can be adopted by anyone who qualifies by the BLM to be an adoptee. I am 14 hands tall. I love people and love to go trail riding. I like long walks on the beach and grazing on pasture. I am gentle and easy to ride. I am not afraid of anything. My full name is Sapheara Warrior Princess. If you would like to meet me you can see me at the Expo.
