Paiute Horses Get Delivered To Mustang Monument!
Dear Friend and Supporters,
Mustang Monument: Wild Horse Eco-preserve made history yesterday! I'm going to try my best to begin to let you know the power of Mustang Monument.
Yesterday, we were blessed with the arrival of the first truckload of the Paiute mares and foals. These are the lucky mustangs that were rescued days from slaughter last December.
During the unloading process there was such a huge windstorm that kicked up. Luckily the dust started to settle as the mares and foals were unloaded into a temporary round pen built with bales of hay. Then, we opened the gates to set them free in one vast, but still fenced off area.
Literally hundreds of acres was theirs for the taking.
As they saw the gate was open, they each were looking around, and very gently the lead mare floated forward with her mane and tail flowing in the wind. Each of the other horses happily followed her lead. They were all now at their forever home. The sight was truly overwhelming. It was so emotional for me with tears of joy and relief streaming down my cheeks.
I cannot aptly describe the experience, but this is definitely a mission driven by God. He has blessed us all with this wonderful gift. I felt that the wind storm was so poignant to this situation, because when God created the earth and man, there was a mighty storm. It's rather like a birthing. We are so lucky. I am so lucky. I've been surrounded by so many supporters and friends and I can't thank you all enough. I am overwhelmed, speechless, and very fulfilled. It's a new beginning.
Love, Madeleine and the mustangs xxxxx
