Please cross post



November 11, 2007: The United States Equine Rescue League, Inc. Has accepted 13 wild mustangs into the program. USERL was contacted when it had been discovered that an equine sanctuary in VA was having to close its doors due to the severe shortage of hay, due to the drought, and could no longer keep the horses. While details of these horses cannot be released at this time, we can say that they are from the Virginia Range in Nevada where Wild Horse Annies ranch was located. They are often referred to as Annies Horses and were the first wild horses to be protected when Annie was able to push through the 1952 Storey County law that prohibited the poisoning of water holes and the use of aircraft to capture wild horses.



The 13 mustangs have been transported to two different USERL rehab barns in the Richmond area. Donations in the form of hay, feed and/or monetary are needed to care for them and the 160 plus horses in USERL foster homes across VA, NC, TN, SC and IN. All 13 horses will be evaluated, vet checked and gentled (they are still wild) before being put up for adoption. Pictures of the horses will be on the web site as soon as the volunteers can catch their breath. Please go to userlstore. org to donate and visituserl.org for updates on the mustangs.
