[RC] [Guest] Mustangs - Ridecamp ModeratorJeanne Pepper pepperja@xxxxxxxxxWhoa!I don't really have an opinion about actually bringing mustangs to an endurance race for adoption(though I'm amused by the possible dramatic events envisioned by some...I've witnessed similar occurrances at races with "well bred & EXPENSIVE Arabs"running thru camp ,etc..)but just want to remind us of the history of many great mustangs in endurance.Captive breds like Chief Yellow Fox(Stallion of the Year 1989}Geronimo's Warrior,(also stallion of the year several times?)both Spanish Mustangs,Wild Fire,ridden by Laurie Bohannon,and Mustang Lady,National Middleweight Champ with Naomi Tyler in 1990,a BLM adopted mustang;and currently we have Kiger Bridger who's Top Tenning this year on the West Coast.There are many more out there and more to come(including my own captive-bred kiger)so don't turn up your nose at these horses as possible endurance prospects.I don't know what the solution is to control the population of the feral herds but I certainly don't condone shooting them as an alternative to adoption.Just my 2cents.. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
