Phoenix's Story:
Phoenix was born to Vixen, a BLM mare who was bred in her adoptive home so that. she would be heavier & more desirable when she got sold into the slaughter pipeline. Phoenix & momma Vixen ended up in the McLean TX Kill Pen- Vixen destined for slaughter and Phoenix separated and sent to auction, alone.
The mustang angels stepped in and we were able to SAVE him from a horrible fate and give Phoenix a life in sanctuary instead!
Our original baby Phoenix was a little baby who was born at the McLean TX lot and spent months in the vet hospital with first salmonella that caused sepsis, then pneumonia which lead to the discovery of pyloric ulcers which ultimately resulted in the only option for Phoenix being euthanasia 💔 Since this boy has the shape of a Phoenix on his face, we wanted to call him Phoenix in honor of baby Phoenix that we lost.
Phoenix is an absolute spitfire baby just like the baby Phoenix he is named after! He is constantly running bucking jumping and playing with his momma and the other mares in their group whether they want to or not! We can't wait for him to join the herd and meet other little youngsters to run buck and play with.
Phoenix is extremely curious and will come right up for a sniff, but he is too wild and doesn't want to be touched!!
