The Rappahannock 4-H Horse Group, “The Mustang Riders,” led by Castleton resident, Erin Pearson, embarked on a special project this past weekend. The group of children and parents traveled to the Virginia Horse Center, in Lexington, Va., and adopted two wild mustangs, originally from the Western U.S. from the Bureau of Land Management. They also did some volunteer work and held a bake sale fundraiser.
This special project will involve working together to tame and train the yearlings. These horses will likely mature to about 13 - 14 hands and will make great riding horses, after proper training. When the mustangs are ready, they will find them permanent adoptive homes. With their exceptional training base, headed by Erin Pearson, they will make great kid’s ponies, ^pr Bony CluJ?, frail riding or endurance! , ‘ >
Pearson owns two former wild mustangs that are ridden by her children, Clayton and Heather, and the 4-H Group members. Erin says “Once you earn the trust of these little mustangs, they become very loving and loyal.”
The group will continue efforts to raise money for the care of these horses, as well as other horse charities, 4-H projects and field trips.
If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation or maybe donate some hay or other items of use for this project or the 4-H Group, please call Erin Pearson at (540) 987-9507. Anything you can donate that can be used or sold to benefit the group and their efforts will be greatly appreciated. Most importantly, you can watch this project as it progresses on their Web site: www.horseadvocate.com. It should be pretty wild.
