Not quite 3 months... but almost (2.5)! And it feels like even longer! Here's a mustang prep and pickup day. Can't wait to share the journey of my two!

    They are beautiful! What size is the horse part of your trailer? Looks like maybe a 16' (8' for each section)? We are going to get my IA horses soon (hopefully anyways, just waiting for them to arrive in NE) with a 16' and just trying to figure out how they will fit size-wise with 2 in each section... most of the time, we just take our 12', but with the long trip, we're planning to take the 16' as it's narrower on the interstate. I will be at the KHP competing in the youth division during the mustang classic, and can't wait to meet you if I get the chance!

    Mustangs sure are much calmer at pick up now that many spend months/years in feedlots, oops "holding facilities" instead of the range. Thanks for videoing pick up day, I'm all in on getting one now. Btw I'm 58 and got a mustang 30 years ago, was definitely different then.

    It normally depends on the horse...if you look at the online auction (wildhorsesonline.blm.gov [they don't have any on there right now] they have been captured normally anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Some of the horses are even born at facilty (normally 1-2 year olds) and they've been there their whole life. They normally geld the stallions pretty soon after capture, just with the mares and personality and all.

    If I were fortunate enough to be able to adopt some mustangs, I would be determined to take a family group. Taking individuals or choosing by color seems so shallow to me. I suppose I should be happy to know that these particular horses aren't going to slaughter.

    Good luck with that. The BLM DOES NOT keep them together, or tell you which ones are related. The best you can do is to adopt ones from the same area they were rounded up from and that does not guarantee that they are related. Why so judgmental of others?
