Day of Arrival at ISPMB

After more than a year at the Canon City prison holding corral, the gray Sand Wash Colorado mare comes “home.”  Controversy surrounded this mare during a gather when photographer Carol Walker captured an accident and near casualty of the mare while loading in a trailer.  ISPMB waited for someone to adopt this mare but no one stepped forward.  She was scheduled to go to long term holding where she would then live out her young life.   ISPMB adopted her on the National Adoption Day in September.  We are honored to have her.

She arrived at our facility on January 13th where she will remain for the rest of her life.  Named,  Beautiful Woman Who Stands, she is adjusting well to her new life.   She will become ISPMB’s poster horse at our Interpretive Center where she will greet visitors as they arrive.   The following photos used with permission by Carol Walker detail her capture.
