Wild Horse and Burro

By Jen Sullivan, Virginia

BEST $25 EVER SPENT!! The mustang who turned out to be PRICELESS!

In August 2019, our family decided that our next horse should be a mustang. My daughter, Emma, really wanted a games horse and her horse, Belle (a Quarab) has arthritis. So, we decided since so many mustangs needed homes, why not adopt one. I knew I needed help and had heard of the Trainer Incentive Program operated by the Mustang Heritage Foundation.

This is the story of how Misti came into my life.

I've been an adopter for many years and have a passion for America's Living Legends, in the wild as well as domesticated once-wild horses. I adopted my first two mustangs under my parents in 1977 and have been smitten with mustangs ever since.

Two volunteers for BLM California, Karin Usko and John Auborn, have done some fun things with their adopted burros.  They are TIP trainers, BLM ambassadors at adoptions, parade participants, pack burro racers, founders of the California Breakfast Burritos (a pack burro training group that runs with their burros in the morning before breakfast), and they sometimes take their burros to the local farmers’ market!
