Mustang Sale

Brought to this country by the Spaniards many years ago, today wild horses roam the lands of the West. Sometimes the herds grow too large for the lands they occupy to support, so it is necessary to reduce their numbers. This week, the Department of the Interior brought into The Valley about 30 wild horses which they rounded up to make available for adoption.

They held a "Mustang Sale", 4- legged, not 4-wheeled, at the County Fairgrounds allowing qualified buyers who had the space and facilities to buy and adopt these wild horses.



I didn't get to the County Fairgrounds until after most of the mustangs had been adopted and picked up, but it felt great just to be able to see a few wild horses up close. They had halters on, but no horseshoes. These mustangs should made good pets for new owners who take the time to patiently work with them.

There were beautiful animals at this "Mustang Sale".
