“A mother's love endures through all." ~Washington Irving

Sand Wash Basin Fury (black) with her son Typhoon (2019 Storm x Fury)🥹

Fury came to us in May of 2023 and Typhoon came to us in June of 2023 after originally going to a private adopter🥰

We were not sure if Typhoon would stay here or go to a forever family☺️ He took until this year to tell us in no uncertain terms that this was his home😭

And once they were put together in the “forever pasture” here the two reconnected and it’s truly heartwarming🩵

What a journey this has been💜

This image was taken by Amy Hefestay, one of our incredible sponsors on sponsor day❤️ Look in the comments for a funny picture of Sand Wash Paz who Amy sponsors and is with Fury and Blue Sky telling Typhoon it was his turn to cuddle with Fury😆

This is Ivy after I had set a small boundary with Centauri and she had already walked about three steps closer with calm but intentional energy🥰 He was always between her and I but in the moment I felt like she was trying to make a decision about whether or not she needed to intervene😱 Watching the video I see and feel (because I was there) something different💕 What do you think? The video is zoomed closer so you’ll see his mane close up at one point😆

🤍🩶Mustang Mom Monday🩶🤍

And her stunning baby boy🥰

Our Piceance East Douglas mom and c**t have names🥹

Please help us welcome Ivy and her son Centauri🩵💜

Ivy-
“Resilience: The plant's ability to thrive in many conditions also gives the name a spiritual meaning of resilience and enduring strength.
• Christmas: The name is also associated with the Christmas season, as ivy is a traditional holiday decoration.”🌿

Centauri-
“Alpha Centauri: The brightest star in the Centaurus constellation and the closest star system to the solar system, outside of the sun. Its name literally means "first (or brightest) of the Centaur"⭐️

Huge thank you to our Patreon followers and monthly sponsors for help with their names❤️

You know we love our names to have meaning but the kids of Aria started calling the c**t Sugar Cookie so he also has a nickname🥳

Ivy is 13 years old but is finally settling💖 Centauri pretty much gentled himself and is just so funny💙 Mom comes close as I play with him so hopefully we are building trust that way for now❣️

I’ll share a short video of them later so you can help me decide what Ivy is thinking as I set a few boundaries with Centauri😵

Ahead of Colorado Gives Day on December 9th, we are hoping to finish up this fundraiser for Colorado mustangs💜

As you know we now have a fifth horse, maybe a sixth🫣 Because of a little identity confusion we have six year old Sand Wash gelding Adahy, who we will absolutely evaluate but at the moment he is pretty wild so we will give him a minute🩵

We are at $17,000 with the $5000 match🥹 So we are only $3000 away from our goal and remember for every $100 donated you will ge entered into a drawing to spend a day at Crazy Horse Canyon Ranch next summer, date to be determined❤️

Other links for donations in the comments🤍

Thank you to everyone who has already donated and shared❣️

🖤🖤Super Saturday🖤🖤

We did it❤️ You ALL did it and we are ALL very grateful❣️

In May a special Sand Wash mare found herself in an unfortunate place and a good family took her in🥰 Yes she has a name🥳 Yet we never said it and still you all showed up once again🙌

A few weeks ago the family reached out to Sand Wash Basin Wild Horse Advocate Team - SWAT to see about bringing her back to Colorado and they contacted The Wild Horse Refuge who of course said she was welcome to live out her life there💕

So we all came together and now she is safely in quarantine with RJF Equine♥️ Huge thank you to Robert for getting her💖

And soon she will make her way HOME🥹

We are going to let SWAT tell you more about her but we met her and her son, as well as his sire and his grandsire on our first trip to the basin so she has always had a special place in our hearts💜

Stay tuned🖤
