What we are doing to promote Mustangs
and
The Wild Horse and Burro Expo:
All of the activities we participate in are done at our
own, individual expense.
- Attend all prison Adoptions – We are there to answer questions, and have
information that goes in the adoption packet on how to reach us if the
adopters have any questions.
- Maintain an account for the prison gentling program where people can
donate to the program. We use the funds to purchase jeans, boots and
tack for the program. Just purchased over $2400 in corral panels.
-
Ongoing Mustang/Burro Newsletter emailed to almost 400 people, and forwarded to many
more people (Weekly question/answers about all aspects of owning a Mustang;
Training tips, diet tips, we promote clinics, horsy events, and share our
Mustang stories)
- Attended
the Extreme Mustang Makeover in Texas to "witness history"
Several of us, with our Mustangs

The Wild
Horse and Burro Expo believes in Giving Back and helping other non profits:

Through
local businesses, and the generous donations of individuals, a little
under 600 at risk/seriously ill kids were
sponsored to attend the evening entertainment with Tommie Turvey, Equine
Extremistt!!!!
- For
two years now,
on Sunday of the Wild Horse Expo, we wear Pink, and one half of the gate
proceeds go to a local group that helps women with Cancer,
"Moms on the Run"
- At
the 2008 Wild Horse and Burro Expo, we sponsored a booth for Pet
Network to attend our event -
They adopted out 4 Dogs and 1 adult cat!
