Information about BLM adoptions is offered as a service, to help mustangs find homes and to promote public appreciation of wild horses and burros.
Please direct adoption questions to the BLM, not to me. And I sure as heck am not a Mustang car dealership! I have NO horses or burros for sale and am not interested in buying or listing or otherwise promoting your sale animals! | This website: Copyright 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 All Rights Reserved.

OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN WILD HORSE GENTLING:

| | Sparky Grows up
 Spring 2003: Sparky is now 2 1/2, and Ruby is 3 years old. They've come a long way, and each had a "first ride" (consisting of sitting on them for about 30 seconds) last November, and are now ready for learning how to actually ride. |  | | Sparky has a problem - ME! I don't know how to ride very well, but, like everything else we've done so far, I guess we'll just have to learn together. In June, Sparky & Ruby went to Sacramento Horse Expo, as part of the BLM's Breed Showcase |  |  |  |  | And home again...

 Shyla Pheasant rode Sparky in the English Youth classes, and got a 2nd place (out of a HUGE class!) |  | | This was Expo's first year for cow classes. Saanen Kerson, Jennifer Stovall, and Martha Conlin put together an impromptu team for the Sorting. Martha rode Sparky. |  |  | SPARKY in 2006 |  Sparky is just the best horse! I go trail riding with him and enjoy just riding around the ranch. We also go to various low-key activities and competitions like the Napa Valley Horsemen's Timed Events Series and the CADAMA Playday. |  | | | | | | | | Sparky 2001 - Adoption | Gentling Sparky | Sparky Settles In | Sparky is Sick | Sparky Spring 2001 | Sparky - Summer 2001 | Sparky In School | Sparky in School, pt 2 | Sparky's First Rides | Saddle Training 2 | Sparky 2006 | Sparky 2007 | Sparky2008 |
