This website is owned and created by Nancy Kerson, a private citizen - I am not the BLM or any other branch of government!

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!

For 2008, the Mustang Heritage Foundation has increased the size of the Extreme Mustang Makeover to 200, and added several regional Mustang Challenges. That's a few more than I can take on, but do go to the MHF's website for updates! www.mustangheritagefoundation.org
