Sullie
Sullie is a 2018 Mustang from Stewart Creek Herd Management Area. Sullie took part in the 2019 Utah Wild Horse and Burro TIP Challenge placing 3rd overall.
Sullie was sold after the show, where she was then returned to the holding facility a month later. A Helping Hoof picked her up from the holding facility and brought her back home where she has been able to heal and open back up.
Sullie is super friendly and loves to be everyone's best friend. She has become an instant favorite because of her personality and desire for snuggles. She has now found her forever home, and spends the day being loved all day, every day.

Zeus

|
Zeus is a 2004 Mustang who was gathered from the Warm Springs HMA in Oregon in 2006. He came to us in Spring of 2016 because his owner could no longer care for him. He was in kind of sad shape at the time and was pretty closed up. However, over the summer he put on weight, had a bath or two, and learned that people are not so bad. Zeus is at the low end of the herd but he still knows how to get what he needs. He is being retrained to be ridden and his progress is being helped by Lillan Roquet, a Level 3 Parelli Professional.
In the Fall of 2016, we found out that Zeus has Squamous Cell Carcinoma in his left eye. We didn't know how long he had it but it was treatable. He was scheduled for surgery to remove his third eyelid and, hopefully, the whole tumor. Fortunately, the Equine Opthomologist reduced her rate for the surgery, for which we are very grateful. Zeus was now Cancer free! In 2019, Zeus moved to a pasture in West Valley, UT to live out the rest of his days being loved by Army veteran and her family. Unfortunately, Zeus had to be put down in August 2020. |
