Feather the ROAR Mustang

Feather's Story:

I remember seeing feather's video as soon as it was first posted in the McLean TX kill pen. We had a fundraiser underway, or we would have worked to get her safe, as something about her trusting face and messy forelock spoke to me immediately. She was marked safe a few days later so we were happy to see that she was saved!

Turns out, she was going to ROAR.

ROAR is where over 100 animals went after being "saved" and many starved and died. Sick, old, and thin horses were all turned out with the herd, and stallions ran with the whole group as well, getting almost all of the mares there pregnant. None of them had enough food, nor any kind of care.

Feather bonded closely with one of the Alpine Stallions running at ROAR, and became pregnant. 

Once law enforcement caught wind of the starving horses, they ordered some to be relinquished. Feather and 64 other horses were moved to STR where they would undergo a refeeding program and were supposed to go on to good homes after all court situations were completed.

Instead, Rail lazy H contractor Jackie Hughes, the same woman responsible for rounding up all of the Alpine Wild Horses, conspired with ROAR owner and came up with a bogus backdated bill of sale. At first, this bill of sale was not going to be honored by law enforcement. After a meeting with JH, local sheriff decided to honor the bill of sale, and all 65 animals were ordered to be returned to Jackie.

Group by group they were put BACK through the notorious Cleburne TX auction, where legitimate rescues and sanctuaries had to step up YET AGAIN to save these innocent lives.

We are so grateful that Feather has ended up here and that she and her baby to be can experience the FREEDOM and the CARE they deserve!

To COMPLETE this rescue mission, we need several mustang angels to sponsor the monthly care costs of this horse! By becoming a sponsor,  you are a long distance adopter of your very own mustang, AND you are directly making a difference for a rescued horse in need. Sponsors receive special sponsor only perks!! IF you fully sponsor this mustang, you get the privilege of choosing their name.
