After more than a year at the Canon City prison holding corral, the gray Sand Wash Colorado mare comes “home.”
Famous Gray Sand Wash Mare Adopted by ISPMB
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.
ISPMB saves 100 Virginia Range Wild Horses
100 wild mustangs need immediate funding for hay and habitat. The Cheyenne River Sioux reservation, which the horses called home, were no longer able to manage these horses. As a result, the tribe has been forced to turn the historic Virginia Range mustangs over to the ISPMB. At $2500/week for hay, we need your help to save these magnificent animals.
Think Our Wild Horses Are Safe?
