Marilyn & Festus arrived January 6th, 2023 - Mount Airy, GA
On Sunday, December 31th, 2023 Blue Line Ponies adopted Marilyn, a search and rescue horse, & Festus, a donkey (they are a very bonded pair) from an friend in Texas.
We are so happy to introduce Marilyn. She is a 23 year old search and rescue palomino with MOCSAR.
One of the earliest search and rescue groups to organize in the State of Texas, Montgomery County Search & Rescue Team (MOCSAR), was established in 1984 by a group of county residents interested in helping others.
MOCSAR is recognized throughout Montgomery County and Texas for its dedication to the community, commitment to and expertise in SAR operations, as well as its high standards for membership and training. Members of the team are professionally trained in specialized areas such as man-tracking, ground search and black water diving. Other members of the team use specially trained dogs and horses to facilitate tracking efforts as well as all terrain vehicles. Types of missions include lost persons, drowning victims, hiking accidents, swift-water and wilderness rescue.
Marilyn and her dad were a huge part of this organization and you can find several photos of them on their website photo gallery.
We are extremely proud to welcome beautiful Marilyn and her sidekick Festus to Blue Line Ponies Retirement Range.
