Project kiger mustang

So I was browsing craigslist looking at horses for sale and laughing at some fantastic grammatical and spelling errors when I came across and ad for seven kiger mustangs up for adoption. These horses were all domestically born, but had to given up after their original owner lost his job. They were then passed around to several different homes where proper feeding and care wasn't always a top priority. As a result, they became malnourished, and many were aslo scared due to improper handling.

In March, they found themselves at farm outside of Portland that started an organization called Project Kiger Mustang with the goal of getting all horses back up to a healthy weight and starting their training.


After several months, the horses are looking much better and many are ready to be adopted. The adoption fees for the kigers range from$700-$1500 dollars, which is extremely reasonable compared to what I've seen elsewhere. They have several different colors available including black, buckskin, and my all time favorite color, grulla. I remember my mother mentioning that the kiger herd was her favorite. Wouldn't a cute little kiger baby make a fantastic graduation present for your darling daughter?!

I'm heading up to the farm on Saturday morning to take some video of all the horses and see if there are any standouts.
