Welcome to my blog.
This is the story of a BLM Mustang named Dancing Dixie.
She was born in the wild on the HMA (herd management area) 'Nevada Wild Horse Herd' range near Nellis Air Force Base sometime in 2008. Gathered by the government on July 4th, 2009, she entered the holding facilities in Litchfield, California.
As the history of the mustang shows, many had Spanish bloodlines that date from the first conquistadors. Texas A&M offers a DNA test using a few hairs to identify what origins your horse may have and I did get Dixie tested. She came back as a large mix of breeds, most notably the Belgian Draft, Akhal Teke, and Pony Type 2.
In 2012, she was selected for the Extreme Mustang Makeover. (Read more about what this competition is here.) After competing together, I bought her from the BLM and we began training for endurance.
We have had a number of demonstrations, races, and events to showcase her (and the mustang as a breed) to the public. (You can read about those adventures here.)
Join us on our new adventure in Tenerife, Spain.
