The National Mustang Association, Colorado chapter, is on the World Wide Web. Many thanks to NMA/CO secretary/treasurer Tif Rodriguez for bringing us into the modern age. 🙂

People will be able to sign up for and renew memberships online, as well as make donations. Be sure to check out our “Accomplishments” page. I think I had an abbreviated version of it on the blog awhile back. It’s an impressive list. Pati and David Temple, of course, are responsible for much of it.

Our current fundraising efforts are directed toward infrastructure to enable BLM to pursue bait trapping instead of helicopter roundups in the future.

Also note the link under the “blogroll” on the right side of this blog.

******************************

Locals who plan to attend the Pati Temple Memorial Benefit Bash on June 3 at Kennebec Cafe in Hesperus, Colo., can buy tickets in advance at this page.

The cafe will provide food and beverages for the ticket price. A silent auction will feature items such as a painting by NMA/CO’s Karen Keene Day, a print by Durango wild horse photographer Claude Steelman and a copy of his book Colorado’s Wild Horses, 40 bales of premium hay from David Temple, a print from Veryl Goodnight and more. Proceeds will directly benefit the wild horses of Spring Creek Basin through the advocacy efforts of NMA/CO.

Tickets will be available around the region (see the flier on the website for locations) and on the website at the above link.

Lovers of mustangs and friends of Pati are encouraged to bring their generosity and memories of our dearly missed mustang angel.





‘Unbranded’

With all the craziness surrounding the wild horse “issue,” here’s something that looks pretty cool:

From the email that alerted me to this endeavor:

Backcountry  Horsemen,

This is Ben Masters. Myself and three friends are training 11 mustangs and riding them 3,000 miles from Mexico to Canada starting in March. Our route will take six months through Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. We’re making a documentary: Unbranded that aims to promote conservation of open spaces, inspire mustang adoptions and get people outside horseback.

We’re trying to promote our journey and documentary. We need your help by pledging your support and sending the information to others who like horses, the backcountry and conservation. Here is the video, it’ll put a smile on your face:
