Evanescent Mustangs

Evanescent Mustang Rescue and Sanctuary, a (501(c)3, was created for the prevention of animal cruelty through educating the public about horse care and safety.
(44)

Now concentrating on using our sanctuary herd in our Mustangs & War Horses therapy program. Evanescent Mustang Rescue and Sanctuary is dedicated to providing a safe and therapeutic environment for mustangs and b***os who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned. Our program is designed to rescue mustangs and b***os that are at risk of being shipped to slaughter, most of them coming straight from

a facility where they are scheduled to be shipped straight to Mexico. Evanescent Mustang Rescue and Sanctuary will coordinate the quarantine, evaluation, and rehabilitation of the rescued equine in order to help them find a forever home and family. If a mustang or b***o has the right temperament to become a therapy horse, they may be accepted into our permanent program for Equine Assisted Psychotherapy to provide a much needed service with clients in the Texoma region. The rescued equine that do not fit our program requirements to become therapy horses, or if our facility is full, will be placed with other equine therapy organizations or into suitable homes that have been screened to ensure that they will not end up back where they were before we found them. When we started seeing mustangs become available through the 'kill lots' we weren't prepared to take any equine yet because we were having to wait for the barn and paddock fencing to be completed at our facility. On the morning of May 27, 2015, we received information that a 4 year old grey BLM Mustang mare was scheduled to ship at noon that day. With only a few hours to try to get her to safety, we shared her picture and the very little information we had about her on our page. Within an hour, a guardian angel stepped forward and sent a message asking if she paid the bail for the mustang, could we take her into our program. Somehow we knew that this little mustang was destined for our program, so Haley's Comet was able to find herself taken out of line for the slaughter truck and into her new life as an equine therapy horse. Rescuing mustangs from kill-lot facilities is very difficult - most circumstances require us to network the mustangs with very limited time, sometimes only a few hours, to find a buyer or donor for the at risk mustangs/b***os. We will continue to network for the mustangs and b***os to go straight from the kill-lots into a permanent home, but most people are not able to commit to a horse coming from these environments because of the difficult quarantine process needed to protect other horses from catching the contageous diseases known to come from these facilities. Here is how the process works for any equine being rescued through Evanescent Mustang Sanctuary - once payment is made, there are only a few days to get transportation and quarantine arranged. We make every effort for this to be done through volunteers, but occasionally payment must be made for these services if volunteers are unable to transport or quarantine. The majority of equine that come from kill-lot facilities are underweight and sick, with most requiring some vet care (from basic medication to stitches/surgeries in severe cases) and farrier work ($50), along with the basic equine care of hay and feed. In an effort to be proactive, we will continue to set up fundraisers to help us continue to successfully rescue these mustangs and b***os that are facing such a tragic end and to give them the best opportunity possible to find their happy ending!

100% OF THE DONATIONS GO TOWARDS THE MUSTANGS AND BURROS!

2024 has been a roller coaster - some really amazing moments but also many unexpected life changes led to stepping back from the rescue world. I've seen so many rescuers completely shut down.... Evanescent Mustangs has no intentions of shutting down, but we have had to do a lot of restructuring. For the remainder of 2024 we will be ramping up fundraising for the Evanescent Herd's Winter Hay fund as well as our Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy program for Veterans & 1st Responders (Mustangs&WarHorses), which is being officially launched in the next couple of weeks!

Going back to the beginning of the year - we started working on an annual Evanescent Artist Challenge, but life stalled the process so here we go! There are going to be a lot more items added, but be sure to check out the ARTIST CHALLENGE CATEGORY!!! A huge thank you to all of the amazing artists that donated their artistic creativity for the challenge, and if you are interested in donating something for the fundraiser or financially towards our programs just let me know!

I used to hate doing groups when I started counseling 15+ years ago but I'm sooooo excited about this next journey in life with my amazing husband and other LPC-ASSOCIATES!!!!

Over the last few months we have been working on creating specialized Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy groups, a collaboration between Texoma Line Counseling and Evanescent Mustangs focused on helping Texoma Veterans and 1st Responders heal alongside Evanescent Mustangs & Burros. Because weather is so unpredictable we decided to rearrange offices to create a more comfortable space inside (instead of the barn) for anything not involving direct interaction with the herd!!
Stay tuned....

I know we have been quiet over the last few months, but there has just been too much going on in life to keep up with FB! As we ended 2023 and 2024 a close family member has been going through a medical condition requiring extra attention on top of working towards some great things coming up in life! The life of a rescuer is hard, the life of a therapist AND rescuer is even harder,,, but WOW so rewarding as everything comes together to help our local 1st Responders and Veterans on a much bigger scale (Texoma Line Counseling)!!!
