We all set very rigid standards as to what a horse has to have in them in order to fit in these little catagories. In the United States we have produced many different breeds from predominately one source. The Mustang.</div> <bR> <div> Americans have have experienced many different relationships with the wild horse. The native Americans recognized a great potential in this animal in terms of hunting and warfare. When pioneers started to settle the west mustangs were captured and used for ranch work and cavalry mounts. But as the cattle industry grew the mustang gradually became just another variment using up valuable grazing land. They were killed routinely killed just like any other pest. The killing went on well into the 20th century because these horses could be sold for meat. In 1971 Congress inacted laws that would finally protect this symbol of our heritage.</div> <bR> <div> Today many people are finding a hearty, reliable mount in the Mustang.</div> <div> </div> <div> <IMG SRC="059f5b30.jpg" border=0 width="245" height="179" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </div> <div> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Papyrus" ><B>Trp. Humphrey and Kiowa</B></FONT></div> <div> Terry and Deb Humphrey have been adopting and gentling Mustangs for the past 6 years. We don't profess to be experts but we do want to share our knowledge and experiences with other Mustang owners and potential adopters to promote this national treasure and help with any training difficulties that all of us confront from time to time. We believe that every wild horse owner has some helpful information to share to make our relationship with these animals easier and more productive. </div> <bR> <div> </div> <div> <IMG SRC="05cc8920.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="146" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Papyrus" > </FONT><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Papyrus" > Right to Left</FONT></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Papyrus" >Kiowa, Navajo and Mojave</FONT></div> <div> When the proper approach and time is taken, Mustangs can become a very reliable, trustworthy companion. These horses are a tough, hearty breed that are not normally prone to hoof or leg problems. Because alot of the herds have not been exposed to human manipulation for some time they tend to be very sturdy and built for survival not looks. They are diamonds in the rough. When they are in the adoption corrals they may be scratched up, have knotted manes, under weight a bit but after awhile of affectionate grooming and proper nutrition they become stunning looking in thier own right. </div> <div> </div> <div> <IMG SRC="060c8820.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="130" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Papyrus" > </FONT><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#111111" FACE="Papyrus" >Terry helping another owner </FONT></div> <div> with some leading problems<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Papyrus" > </FONT></div> <div> The Bureau of Land Management is the agency responsibe for regulating the wild horse herds. When there is a threat of overpopulation the BLM will capture some of the horses and after inspection, vacinations, and evaluation they are put up for adoption to qualified induviduals. This is a great opportunity to own a peice of our historic past but it is also a serious responsibility to this noble horse.</div> <div> <A HREF="id17.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Our Mustangs"><U>Our Mustangs</U></A> | <A HREF="id18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Training, Stories Tips"><U>Training, Stories & Tips</U></A> | <A HREF="id19.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Us"><U>Contact Us</U></A> | <A HREF="id20.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Our Products and Services"><U>Our Products and Services</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
