Support the Cayuse at Paha Ponies

From Adam:

This is my dream.

I believe that the horse was put here to help humans evolve in the best possible way. In the past, horses have helped us during war, provided transportation, and supported our agricultural pursuits. Now they are here to help us spiritually evolve as a species. In a time when we need to embrace and protect the natural world, we need a guide that is as close to nature as possible. There is no better conduit to nature than the Spanish Mustang. This is the most natural horse available to the human. There has been little human interference in their evolution for the past 500 years on this continent which has resulted in an incredibly smart, herd driven animal. The Spanish Mustang is truly a magical horse.

The Cayuse Ranch was the first mustang preservation effort in the US. They were hell bent on preserving the often thought extinct, rugged old Indian pony: the Spanish Mustang. Historically speaking, these horses are incredibly important. They are the last remnants of the mustang that was here before the westward migration of the United States. How do we know this? There is a paper trail. All of these horses that were found to be proven, pure old stock and type were catalogued in the Spanish Mustang Registry.

Now, after 100 years of preservation work, the Brislawn family is ending their role with one of most important horse projects in the country. We are in a unique situation to be able to help. Our intention is to find adoptive homes for the remaining foals which have come to live at Paha Ponies. Being just 38 miles down a gravel road from the Cayuse, we don't need to do blood work until adoptive homes are found. We will be gentling them here, and with the help of volunteers, begin their training in preparation for their adoption.

The facilities here at Paha Ponies are primitive. And here is where we need the most help. We are in immediate need of panels for a portable corral. We are also in need of hay. In the near future, a tractor will be essential to support our efforts.

We are hoping for the first load of ten foals to be delivered this week. With your support, we intend to save as many of the Cayuse horses as we can and share this little secret of a horse with many that would normally not have access. Your support will be reflected in efforts that will result in an ever increasing awareness of the connection between the horse and humankind and that will positively affect people that long for a connection to finding true nature.

This is my dream. Please help support the horses from the Cayuse at Paha Ponies.

In gratitude, we thank you.
