Buyers giddy-up to mustang bid


On Saturday, 21 of 25 wild horses were adopted at the Northwest College Ag Pavilion.

Most of the equines were from the McCullough Peaks, but a few hailed from other herds.

I had a swell time chatting with a few friends (Me? friends?), but more importantly, most were bought so they won’t wind up at a Bureau of Land Management wild horse holding facility.

Don’t fret. The four forlorn equines who got the brush-off will be available for adoption by visiting the Mantle Ranch near Wheatland.

You can check them out at http://www.mantleswildhorses.com.

You can check out my story and a couple nice photos by Carla Wensky in tomorrow’s (April 13) Trib.

Nick Mantle is the guy astride the paint and in the background is Scott Fleur, the auctioneer. I would identify each and everyone of the people standing around the corral or in the stands, but I’m plum tuckered out.

Adios, buckeroos.
