The BLM

WOW!!!! Today was a great day! I got a call from Scott at the VA BLM office. I had emailed them with an offer to help in any way I could with the upcoming adoption in Sommersworth NH. Well he asked what I was willing to do and I told him name it.
He is sending me a package of promotional info like flyers and pamphlets to distribute around.
I was so thrilled about this as when I started this blog, my Yahoo group, and joined up on other boards, this is what I had in mind, to help out the BLM and the Mustangs. I plan on making a swing around New England to all the Tack shops, stables, feed stores, and gun shops I can find and leave these items in hopes that more people will know about the adoption and help make it a big win for the BLM and Mustangs!
Some people may say why help them out? They are a government agency and get paid to do this. My answer is simple. We ARE the government and these horses are public property. They belong to each and every one of us and if we can help, then we should and feel like it is our proud duty to do so! Will I get paid or even get money back for time and gas? No, and I don't care one bit!! I am going to be rewarded better than with money, I will know I helped the BLM get these fine horses homes and jobs where they will be cared for and treated well. How will I be sure they are treated well? I will be more than happy to run around and check on them, offer any help to the adopters that I can, and put them in touch with people that can help them train if I can't.
Everyone has something that they would like to do in life and mine is to promote the Mustang to the public of this great country. I can't do near as much as some people can, but I can do as much as I can and so can you.

Good for you! We have 2 little BLM fillies from Wyoming ourselves, Cali and Scout! We stop by the Ridgecrest BLM office whenever we are up that way. It is about 3 1/2 hours away from our home, but when we drive up to Northern California, we usually take 395 and Ridgecrest is right on our way!
