Re: [RC] AERC convention "stuff to do in after" - Karen Sullivan
Replying to all as might be fun for other too to
make the drive (15 to 20 minutes north on Hwy 395) to see the largest BLM
holding facility of mustangs in the U.S.; Palomino Valley. Can't miss it,
big sign.
I went there last April, and was pretty impressed
at both the condition of the facility (huge pens, good fencing) and all the
horses looked in good weight. Feb. might not be as great (snow/mud on
ground); very shaggy horses but still might be interesting. Mike Meyers,
who runs the facility was also very helpful. While there, I ran into two
endurance riders picking up a youngter and we got to chat for awhile; they
almost taked me into a cute grulla gelding.....I already have a grulla BLM mare
and succumed to a lovely palomino filly at the Lakeport adoption. Anyway,
it was a fun outing, I would rather look at horses than strap boards on my feet
any day!
