Starlight Stables and Mustang Sanctuary is grateful to announce that we are the recipient of a DAFgiving360 grant. We would like to give heartfelt thanks to the donor that made this possible. It means more to us than you can ever know.

We are honored to receive this grant in honor of the memory of equine advocate Catherine Kirby. Catherine Kirby was the founder and leader of one of our sister sanctuaries Noble Horse Sanctuary for many years. Sadly, in December Catherine lost her battle with cancer. We are indebted to the work Catherine did in the sanctuary community. We feel so appreciative of all of the volunteers at Noble Sanctuary and especially her husband Tim who has worked tirelessly to help us with infrastructure for our sanctuary.

Without grants like these and donations we would not be able to bring our dreams to reality. We are currently building infrastructure to allow us to save more horses. We plan to use this grant to help support Lady, a beautiful grey mustang that we adopted from Noble Sanctuary. Lady is approximately 30 years old and requires special medical and dietary care. This will also help us with costs from care for Santana who is recovering from a broken coffin bone and is Lady's favorite companion at our sanctuary.

Santana is Smitten...

Santana is a Ladies' man. The mares all love him and when we were deciding who would go in next to our new mare Lady we had a lot of thoughts, but Santana was still on stallrest with ground walking. Happy news! He has been cleared to go into an indoor/outdoor paddock by the vet and much to our excitement Lady was quite happy to have him next to her. So interesting that our 30 year old mare chose a 2 year old c**t, but she genuinely seems to like him. They spend a lot of time standing side by side but when Lady goes to eat, Santana stands at the fence like a lovesick boy...

Starlight Goes Driving

We had a great time last night at the USU Elevate Your Ride Clinic on Equine Driving. The instructors were fabulous! We learned a lot and enjoyed driving a team of Percherons and a team of Fjiords. It was great practice for ground driving as well which is part of our ready-to-saddle training in our horses that are on that pathway. We look forward to holding clinics like this in the future as our rescue grows. Do any of your drive your horses or plan to in the future?

Stardust & Shaman

Our little trio of two year olds is so adorable. It is hard to get photos of these two together because they both want affection and chase after you as soon as you back away. Aren't they adorable?

Shaman says Hello!

Shaman is an Onaqui c**t rounded up in 2024 as part of the Swasey herd roundup. Several Onaqui horses we outside of the HMA boundary and 33 of them ended up in pens after being chased by a helicopter. We adopted Shaman as well as brothers Stardust and Santana when it was clear that no one wanted these darling 10 month old boys. Shaman is the sweetheart of the herd, always looking for affection!

Starlight Mustang Sanctuary is proud to present
Wild Horse Wednesdays

As a wild horse photographer myself I think that these photos play an important role in the wild horse community, drawing people in with their beauty while sharing stories of their perseverance and survival.

Featured photographer:
Herd: Salt Wells, Wyoming
Horse(s) if known: Calypso, Rocket, Jax and Rue (L to R)

It was hard to pick from all of your beautiful photos, but ultimately I decided on this Autumn splendor from last September. I love the way you have combined the beauty of the wild horses with gorgeous landscape here and of course I remember being there with you that day. Thank you for everything you do for the Salt Wells horses!

Lady, settling in

I had fun taking some photos of Lady after her arrival earlier this week. While we are in transition she has a nice indoor/outdoor paddock. Initially our shy sweet girl was peeking out at me from her indoor enclosure but since those first few hours she has predominantly spent her time outside in the Utah sunshine!

If you would like to be part of the team that cares for Lady, we greatly appreciate donations.

Training Day!

I have been working very hard on desensitization with Fate. She now readily accepts halter and leads, picks up all of her feet and today for the first time she accepted a blanket! She didnt even startle when the wind blew if off of her. I am so incredibly proud of this beautiful Conger mare!
