photos from Oregon wild Kiger Mustang Adoption - 2007/11/11 20:26 I went to the wild Kiger Mustang Adoption event. A 4 day event with booths and demonstations of trained Mustangs. While the Kiger Mustangs available for adoption were not top quality this time around, there were alot of them and I was glad for the chance to go see them and get lots of pictures. Had I been able to adopt I would have took home a 17 yr old grey stallion, that just grabbed my heart and looked as though he was ready to retire from the wild. Just talking to him I could almost get him to come to me.
the old grey stallion

There was so many babies

photos from Oregon wild Kiger Mustang Adoption - 2007/11/11 21:22 They are so sweet I love the dark bay in the front of the group in photo 3 But they all have that please take me home look. But what happens if they don't get adopted. Do they keep them till they find homes. And the ones that are left do the get freed again or do they just stay there . Just wondering oh and thanks for sharing.

photos from Oregon wild Kiger Mustang Adoption - 2007/11/11 22:06 The corrals are real big they are not crowded and they have plenty of free food and water. The pens are situated that though foks can see thru fences and I can get my camera in there to get pictures, the horses don't see much of us unless they are right next to the fences where people are. They have been there a few weeks so are pretty used to people moving around on the outside of the fences. So they are pretty settled in.

photos from Oregon wild Kiger Mustang Adoption - 2007/11/12 08:24 That color is called Grulla... Dasho, that is a lighter Grulla.
This mare is darker grulla and was auctioned off and adopted as the high price mare for $7400.00 dollars. Although this is an adoption the horses are sold to the highest bidder, bids start at regular adoption price which is $125.00.

photos from Oregon wild Kiger Mustang Adoption - 2007/11/12 08:31 I don't really want to get into alot of the politics of Kigers here, but these horses do not represent the best of the Kiger Mustangs. I do hope though that they did find good homes and they will make great riding horses and great Mustang friends to the people able to provide them with a loving home.

Re:photos from Oregon wild Kiger Mustang Adoption - 2008/11/08 00:06 Thank you Luvallbreeds for the beautiful photos and the info on the mustangs - I must admit that the mustangs have been a favorite breed of mine, but I have only seen pictures and films on them, it would be a thrill for me to see one up close. I am hoping that I can travel to the USA in the next couple of years (my hubby has promised me this trip) and on top of my list to see is the Mustangs.

Re:photos from Oregon wild Kiger Mustang Adoption - 2008/11/08 23:30 Oh! Luvallbreeds that is funny - I do love our Brumbies, and plan to adopt one on the next round up. Here in South Australia we have a small band of brumbies, but the government is trying to destroy them, we have been protesting against this for years, but we are losing the battle - but we will keep fighting as long as we can.

Well we will have to keep in touch, as if you do get to come to Australia I would love to show you the brumbies and the other great sights we have to offer.
