2011 Adoption Update!There are a few wonderful colts and fillies still available. Below are description sheets with photos. Babies Bay Colt #3 ADOPTED! Yearlings Bay Colt Yearling ADOPTED! Beautiful day, beautiful horses. Thank you to all who visited us on adoption day and to the volunteers who make the event possible each year. We placed several youngsters in loving homes over the weekend. We still have a number of foals available.
Many have told us of their desire to adopt but the economy is causing some to have reservations about making a long-term commitment. You may be happy to hear we have a foster program, as well. If you'd like to foster a foal, please let us know. They need individual time and attention and you can help by providing a short-term home for them throughout the winter.
Below is a list of horses available for adoption or foster. Lots of cuties! We've also attached an explanation of the temperament scores to assist you in choosing a foal just right for you!
If you are interested in adopting or know someone who is, please use this link http://www.wildhorsesanctuary.org/WHS2008AdoptionApplication.pdf to download an adoption application. Then call Dianne Nelson at 530-474-1384 or email Jill Broughton at whsjill@yahoo.com for more information on available babies.

Horse Adoption Success StoryHello, I have attached some photos of a 3 year old gelding adopted from you as a weanling. He is now one of my most trustworthy horses and is an amazing addition to our herd. He is the horse that our beginner friends LOVE to ride :) You are more than welcome to use some photos of him on your site as an example of what these horses are being used for. The third picture was taken at a friends ranch when he had only 8 rides on him. We were helping to bring in a herd of nearly 100 head of cattle and we came to a place where we had to herd them through a small gate. Cash and I were part of the group that was supposed to catch the herd and make sure they did not pass the gate instead of going through it. Just before the herd reached us a few cows split off from the group and the other riders with us took off to catch them. Meanwhile Cash and I had the entire herd of 100 cows mooing and bleating rushing towards us. Poor Cash was so intimidated that his whole body shook, but I pet his neck and told him easy and bless his heart he held the line and pushed every single cow through the gate by himself! Truly, once a Mustang puts his trust in you they will do anything and go anywhere. Many other colts I have started would have left me in the dust to push the cows in myself. Thank you for these amazing horses. Madeleine LeClerc
