starving mustangs

Today my husband went to town to get some tires mounted, and while he was there, a guy came in and was talking to him about horses. this guy is always there, just hanging out, and has talked to us before about a lot of things. today he talked about horses, he knew a guy who had 3 he couldn't feed and had been trying to get someone to take but nobody would. Jim said really? and the guy took off. A few minutes later he was back, with the other guy, who explained his problem and Jim went with him look at the horses. There were 3 mustangs, a mare and a stallion, and a yearling studcolt. All very thin. The guy has been trying his best to find them homes, but nobody would help or take them. He had to move them from where they were, so had them in his backyard tied to trees, taking them out at night to let them eat whatever he could find for them. He was desperate to get them help. So Jim, being Jim, called me, I said get them, so now we have 5 horses instead of 2 on the 90 acres of good pasture we are fortunate enough to have. The stallions are going to have to be gelded soon, I don't want Princess bred yet. We will get them back in shape and then decide what to do about them.
I just cannot get over how people can have good pasture they haven't used for years, with barns or shelters, and yet will not rent it to someone who really needs a place to put their horses. That is why we lost our mustangs, we couldn't find a place to put them. So I feel like maybe we might be making it up to them. At least a little.

Hi Phantommustang!
Congratulations on Jim's and your decision!!!
Let's hope you can get them back in shape and find somebody who can place them..
Please let us know how you're all doing over time!
Don't forget to deworm them, they probably haven't had that for ages, so they might be full of parasites.
All the luck in the world for you and your little herd!!!

Their former owner said he had wormed them, recently, but said we might want to do it again. We do. We are really hoping they will fully recover, but it will take time. Jim was in tears when he called me, and when I saw them, I was too. I got to our barn after they unloaded them, and the guy was so relieved to have them there that he was practically dancing. So were the horses.

Please let your vet advice you on how to get them on your good grass without the risk of colics etc. Their gutbacteria will have to get used to this lush feed slowly.
My sincere en deep respect, once more, for the courage the two of you show!
Keep us posted...

Are trying to get the vet. He is unavailable right now. We have them in the corral and feeding them hay. I agree, they shouldn't be out on pasture yet, no matter what they think.

Thank you all for your support. They are in very bad shape, have called vet. They are eating well, though, and eyes are bright and they are interested in everything. They are starting to look a little better.

Update on horses. They are filling out, still very thin, but looking a lot better, and if anything, even more friendly than they already were. The yearling seems to have connected with Jim, and follows him everywhere, calls for him when he gets out of sight, and ignores everyone else. The stallion likes to cuddle, the mare wants attention all the time, but doesn't cuddle. Jim wants to keep the colt, so I guess we have a colt. I like the stallion, but would like to keep all of them, that's the problem with being horse crazy and loving mustangs.

Just wonderful to know that you saved these horses, Phantommustang. It should give you a great sense of achievement and pride that you were able to be there for them. All the very best with your project. Sounds like your horse numbers have already permanently increased. Just great to know you and Jim were able to do this and that the mustangs are also indicating their thanks to you. All the very best with them - look forward to up dates,

Jim called the vet first thing, she didn't even come to look at them, just told him WE would probably be held responsible for their condition! The only other vet is 50 miles away and very busy, haven't been able to get hold of him, probably because he is a better vet? the brand inspector knew where they came from, as did the sheriff, and both knew we didn't have them that long, so we don't have to worry about that. What we DO have to worry about, is getting the males gelded, we just don't have the money for that, or their medical care. And so far we haven't heard from the horse rescue place. So we are waiting for the other vet to come and do something at the ranch, then we can have him look at them, he has done that with our other horses and is a very good vet.

Hi phantommustang!
Sometimes rescue-centers might organize "geldingclinics", where a vet comes to the rescue and people bring their horses, so he can geld several in one session, to lower costs...
But this seems not the right time for thoughts like these, your mustangs need to pick-up condition and trust first. Couldn't you do some fundraising for their medical care and geldingprocess?
We know and YOU know that yours is a very brave and humane choice, don't let the nearby vet tell you anything!!!
Good luck!

We have talked to a lot of people around here, and everyone knew about these horses and what shape they were in, and NOBODY did a thing. The sheriff and brand inspector knew, and did nothing. I just don't understand people at all. They are quick to point the finger, but when it comes to helping, forget it. It really makes me mad. Seems they would rather let horses starve than do anything about it, and there are so many places around here that have room for horses, are set up for horses, don't have any animals at all, but if asked will say they aren't set up for horses. They wont rent pasture, wont rent corrals, wont help in any way, but complain about people not taking care of their animals.

Hello! 100 lessons completed 150 lessons completed 200 lessons completed 250 lessons completed

I can understand how mad this makes you Phantommustang. I guess at least they know what the condition of these horses was like prior to them coming to you. Have you thought of setting up a Facebook page or something like that to ask for donations to help out?

Update. Horses are looking a LOT better. The colt is filling out nicely, as is the stallion, the mare is losing her backbone, well, not really, but it isn't nearly as obvious as it was. And they are friendly, friendly, friendly. Still waiting for authorities.

MaggieF, Melbourne - Australia
Hello! 100 lessons completed 150 lessons completed 200 lessons completed 250 lessons completed

It is marvelous that you were there for them but it takes special people to do what you and Jim have for these horses. Proud was the wrong word -just hope it all goes well for you now. I guess you have found your mustangs!

Well. This was a surprise. This morning, the mare presented us with a little buckskin colt. She wouldn't let me get close enough to see if it was a boy or girl, but they both seem to be doing fine. We thought she might be pregnant, but didn't expect it to be this soon. Up until today, she has been very friendly, but now she is a very protective mama. So we will give her all the time she needs.

Hi phantommustang1,
Congratulations!
Let's hope she can give the foal all it needs and is strong enough to restore her own health at the same time. Her store of calcium will have been drawn upon strongly during gestation, so try to get information on how to fill them, so she can produce adquate qualitiy of milk.
Enjoy this little creature, he/she is fortunate to have you as his protector now...
Keep us posted!

Wow, that's so exciting! My little mustang mare was possibly pregnant but so far no baby, I was kind of relieved at the thought that she wasn't pregnant but I must admit your news makes me a little jealous... who knows she might just surprise me after all.
Congrats on the new baby!

Thanks, Miriam and Kleinne. I am waiting impatiently for her to let me get close, but I know she wont for awhile, she doesn't know us that well yet. We had thought that if she WAS pregnant, it would be at least a couple more months, so when Jim got to work this morning and the foreman told him "You have a colt over there", he was rather shocked, went to see, and sure enough, there it was, so he called me and I went right over. Mare immediately told me in no uncertain terms to keep my distance. Really need a name for the mare, the name she had was Princess, but I already HAVE a Princess! Don't give up yet, Kleinne, your mare just might surprise you too!

That is so wonderful, phantommustang1! Congratulations! Lovely to hear that mother and daughter are both well too. Considering the circumstances it could have gone a lot worse.

Can I suggest a name for the mother? (Just for fun!) How about "I'm a Princess 2"? :D :D

Might get a little confusing, Kicki.
Princess 1 and Princess 2. Problem is, they are both white. Which was confusing too, the guy we got her from was talking to me about her, and we were talking about the horses in general, and he said Princess looked pregnant, I said no, shes just fat, hasn't been near a stallion. He said yes she has. I said no, she hasn't. I'm talking about my 3 year old white mare. He said no, shes 8. I was about ready to crack up, he was talking about the older mare, I was talking about my little Princess. Finally got it straight. I hadn't known the mares name was Princess too!

LOL I know! I suppose you can't go around calling them "Number 1" and "Number 2" either. ;D
Reminds me of an old joke about a man who tries everything to separate his twin foals - and I do mean *everything* - and finally comes up with the white one being half an inch bigger than the black one. :D :D

It was so cool when we went over tonight, there wasn't a horse in sight until we started to walk behind the barn, then the mare came racing from up by the pond with the colt beside her, they ran right up to us, then the two guys came, also on the run, and they all came around being very friendly. Problem was, they wanted the grain more than us, but that's ok. They were happy to see us anyway. But you could say we got horse mugged! And once they had their grain they were happy to just hang around with us and get petted.

The mare, Shima, is putting on weight, in spite of having to eat for 2, which she is doing quite well. The guys don't look like the same horses at all. and the colt is doing fine. Full of energy and acting like a normal colt, and I bet he is driving his mom crazy!

I was wondering how you were doing with all of the flooding in Colorado, I'm glad all is well.

phantommustang1 Walsenburg, Colorado, USA
Please upload your photo 100 lessons completed 150 lessons completed 200 lessons completed 250 lessons completed 300 lessons completed

Kleinne, we live in southern Colo, and didn't get much flooding, not like they did north of here. We just got muddy. Our driveway washed out and a couple roads coming into the neighborhood where we live got washed out, but that's about it. MJ, no, but are thinking about maybe either Yuku, Yaqui for Rain, Nitsu, Navajo for Rain, or Ookolo, Cheyenne for Rain, since he was born in the rain and it hasn't really quit for good yet. Still trying to at times. Was trying to find an Eskimo word for rain, because Jim is Eskimo, but cant. Cant find all kinds for snow.

MaggieF, Melbourne - Australia

No, not Navajo, part Shoshone, but couldn't find word for Rain is Shoshone. And from the list of words I did find, most I had no idea how to pronounce. But we aren't far from Navajo land, really. I always thought, since mustangs were native Americans too, I would name them with Native American names, which I always did except for my first mustang stallion, Phantom, which my husband named.

Great news! The owners of the ranch where we have the horses came this weekend and they want to help with the horses. they will help buy hay and help get the stallion gelded. And they said tomorrow we can go over and pull a trailer out of a stall and use it (the stall) for hay, it has big doors and we can get big bales in, instead of using the stall we have been using which just had a small door and isn't easy to get hay into.

Nitsu let me pet him today, from his tail to his head, and pick up 2 feet. Shima stood close with her nose right by my hand the whole time, and for awhile, so did both guys. Then they wandered off a little, but came back, wanted more petting. spoiled horses already. Apparently, Onyx isn't holding it against us for getting him gelded.

Haven't been on for awhile, but here is an update. We had 2 feet of snow, managed to get to the horses, and they had no intention of coming in for hay. They found a place that had been fenced off, fence was falling down so we took it out, and there is a LOT of grass there, under some trees. And all 6 of them were happily munching away. Shima is filling out, finally, she was so thin I was very concerned about her, but now her hipbones have disappeared, and so has most of her backbone, in spite of Nitsu, who, by the way, is growing like a little weed and doing fine. Princess and Emmett have been taking them around and showing them all their favorite places, nice to see them all getting along so well. The barn is no longer their favorite place. They don't seem to want to hang out there anymore, they like the pasture much better. Cant call them starving mustangs anymore, they aren't. We haven't had to feed them much, they have plenty of grass, and aren't interested in hay anyway. Or grain. Jim put out some hay for them a few days ago, its still there.

Just an update. Horses are doing great. Both males are getting downright fat, mare is doing well, colt is fantastic! Little rascal was watching me while Shima was eating, so I went over to see him, and he came right up to me and nuzzled me and wanted petting. Then Geronimo, the yearling, got jealous and came nibbling at my sleeve, so I petted him with one hand and Nitsu with the other, Onyx came for his share, then Princess decided enough was enough and came to crowd in, I decided, having only 2 hands, that it would be good to get out of the crowd, but Nitsufollowed me. What with my husbands truck being down and the horrible weather, I haven't been able to get over there for quite awhile, and was surprised that the little guy was so friendly. Jim, since he works right next door, gets there every day, but I can't if I don't have my truck.

We might be moving to a place with 40 acres, not enough for all of them, but can have a couple at a time, so will trade off. The rest can stay where they are, its not very far.
Maybe 10 miles. so will trade off and that way all of them can come, just not all at once.

I've just read from start to now, what a great story and outcome for all. I feel bad that you lost your own Mustangs still, what happened?

Congrats on what you's have achieved, I've never seen a Mustang apart from on TV, would love to visit the US one day.

Good luck with your move, all the best, Mary.

Ok. We got moved. Brought Princess, Emmett, and Geronimo. Sadly, we lost Nitsu a few months back, don't know what happened. Everybody else is doing great, even the mare. As to why we lost our other mustangs, when we moved to Walsenburg, we had a good job, but they laid both of us off after just a couple months, and the guy who was boarding our horses wanted far more than we could afford, so took the horses and sold them, I guess, when we couldn't find another place for them. Anyway, they- and he disappeared after he threatened all kinds of things. Still looking for them, but its getting pretty hopeless, I think. Been 6 years now.
