The Medicine Hat is Missing
Dear Readers,
Three wild horse advocates searched for this captive horse today.

They couldn't find him. If BLM can't supply photo verification that he's still there, we need to know what's happened to him.
Those of you who read my books know that I'm partial to sorrel horses like Hoku and sassy little bays like Ace, but this horse, because of his flashy coloring SHOULD be easy to follow through BLM processing.
I will ask BLM if I can go out and search the corrals this week.
You can see more photos of your mustangs in the feedlot in Fallon here
I'll let you know what happens next.

MUSTANG as MUSE
For Immediate Release
Website: www.tahoeartgallery.com
Press Release
Horse HeART Event Features Art and Horses
Wild horses and artists: what traits do they share? Tenacity . . . adaptability . . . intelligence? If those sound like handy qualities to have in these tough economic times, you will appreciate the thinking behind Horse HeART, an upcoming equine art exhibit, art competition, and fundraiser to benefit wild horses, hosted by Art Attack Gallery in Incline Village, Nevada. Featuring art that evokes the kindred spirit of horses and artists, Horse HeART seeks to inspire viewers to negotiate the economic recession with flare.
“We chose the Mustangs as our muse because they epitomize the kind of resilience that we all need,” explains Mark DeSautel, owner of Art Attack Gallery. Horse HeART will run March 12 through April 12, 2010, with a wine and chocolate reception on Saturday, March 13, from 4-8 pm.
For the Horse HeART event, Art Attack Gallery is teaming up with the Let ‘Em Run Foundation, a non-profit organization co-founded by country western singer, Lacy J. Dalton, working to preserve wild horses. Proceeds from a reception-night raffle, featuring such enticing prizes as a springtime guided adventure to see wild horse herds with their new foals and art prints by participating artists, will go to the Let ‘Em Run Foundation. In addition, Art Attack Gallery will donate a portion of the proceeds from art sales to LERF.
A national call to artists for the event has drawn outstanding entries from regional artists as well as notable artists from throughout the United States. The exhibit will feature 50 original equine-themed art works including paintings, sculptures, and photographs. Noting that the arts community and non-profit organizations have been particularly hard hit by the economic downturn, gallery owner DeSautel says, “We hope to inspire horse enthusiasts and art lovers to support the exhibiting artists and the Let ‘Em Run Foundation with this festive event.”
Art Attack Gallery is an award winning premier art gallery located at 868 Tahoe Boulevard, #13 (Christmas Tree Village) in the heart of upscale Incline Village, Nevada on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. They have been representing fine contemporary Western art in the relaxed atmosphere of their 3500 square foot showroom since 1989

Not all the pretty horses come home - The Boston Globe
Dear Readers,
This newspaper article tells how one American woman collects horses from auctions, outbidding people who want them for pets or saddle horses, then sells them for meat. Her excuse? Her family's been doing it for years (which kinda undercuts her argument that it's the fault of the economy).
This article has lots of valuable information, charts, quotes from experts if you happen to be doing a report on the issue of horse slaughter. Terri

Don't walk on by
This has been done in your name at BLM's Indian Lakes facility
Photo by Cat Kindsfather six weeks after the round up
Dear Readers,
THIS WEEK a congressional committee will meet and discuss giving BLM yet more money to round up and corral wild horses.
They're already spending millions of my tax dollars to do something most taxpayers despise.
Want to send a message that this is a bad idea?
This will only take you two minutes. You'd spend longer than that looking for your keys. Instead, look into your heart (and wallet) and do what's right.
click here to talk back to BLM
IMPORTANT TIP: Change the subject line and write your own first line to the letter (at least). This might keep the congressional committee members from thinking "yeah, yeah, here's another one."
Can't think of a new first line? You could try something like "Please freeze BLM's wild horse budget until a full investigation can take place."
Go get 'em,
Terri

Dressage Mustang needs a home
Dear Readers,
I'm awaiting news from BLM in Reno, hoping to know why no updates on activities, injuries and deaths at the Fallon facility haven't been posted since last week.
This has me worried.
However,
I know lots of PHANTOM STALLION readers are fans of Jake, whose family heritage is Shoshone, so I had to show you Sequoia.
If you want a gentled and trained companion with wild blood, whose mother roamed Shoshone tribal lands, please read on and feel free to share this with other dressage and mustang fans.
DRESSAGE MUSTANG LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME.
Here's a great chance to take over the adoption of a professionally trained Shoshone Indian (Dann Sisters) mustang.
Sequoia is a 15-2 (and still growing) four year old mare out of a Dann Sisters mare. She was originally a W.I.N. horse placed by LRTC. She has been professionally ridden three times a week for close to two years and is in training as a dressage prospect. According to trainer Holly Love, Sequoia is a "big mover" with potential. Holly says that she hasn't pushed Sequoia really hard into collection, etc., because she's still growing, but she feels that the mare is coming along well. The mare has also been ridden outdoors and given this past California winter, "She's gotten used to being ridden in mud."
Sequoia needs a new home since due to economic conditions her adopter can no longer keep her.
Sequoia is presently located in Knightsen, CA (near Stockton, CA) For information about her training history please write dressage trainer Holly Love windream@dishmail.net.
Sequoia has documented origins and Shoshone horses qualify to show at the Western States Wild Horse and Burro Expo. Given her size and training, Sequoia could make a great show prospect!
