Oregon/Washington Wild Horse Program Update: June, 2008
WILD MUSTANG RAFFLE
Each year the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Burns District
donates a wild horse to the Eastern Oregon University (La Grande,
Oregon) Foundation for raffle, with all proceeds going toward the Harney
Futures Scholarship fund. This year’s mustang is a yearling filly from
the Kiger Herd Management Area in southeast Oregon. We’ve named her
“Sarita.” BLM’s Wild Horse Wrangler’s will train Sarita over the next
year until she goes to her new home. She is already very friendly and
approachable – she’ll positively be a great addition to your family.
Drawing for Sarita will be held September 7 at the Harney County Fair in
Burns, Oregon. Need not be present to win.
Kiger mustangs are highly sought out from horse lovers across the U.S.
Since the Herd Management Area is only gathered once every 4 years, this
is a special opportunity to get your own Kiger mustang! No other horse
in America is quite like the Kiger Mustang found on Steens Mountain in
southeastern Oregon. Most wild horses are of mixed influence and
characteristics while the Kiger Mustangs possess many characteristics of
the original Spanish Mustang. They are indeed a unique breed of wild
horse.
If you’re interested in getting in on this chance of a lifetime raffle,
go to: www.eou.edu/dde/harneycounty/HarneyFutures.html and
scroll down for the ‘I want to buy tickets’ section.’ Tickets are $5
each or 5 for $20.
If you’d like more information about Sarita or BLM’s Wild Horse & Burro
Program, contact the Burns District BLM at (541) 573-4424 or (541)
573-4439. If you would like to purchase raffle tickets over the phone,
or if you’re having trouble purchasing tickets online, call Regina at
the Harney County Distance Education Center at (541) 573-5012 or email
rcashen@eou.edu.
2008 ADOPTION RESULTS....NOT SO PRETTY SO FAR...
Recently the BLM held adoptions in Odessa and Spokane, Washington.
Between the two events, over 45 mustangs were presented and ONLY 9 were
adopted. Yikes! What do we do? We realize hay and gas prices are
through the roof and that the horse market is at a low point....
but..... These mustangs are just too great to live in holding
facilities. Any ideas how we can reach more people and find homes for
the wild ones? We do regional and local print ads, news stories, radio
broadcasts, flyer distribution and a handful of other things for
marketing and promotion already. Anything you can suggest for HELP
would be greatly appreciated. OR, if you can help get the word out
yourself, PLEASE take a minute to do that – send an email, talk with a
friend, invite someone to an adoption. Thanks so much for all you do!
8 KIGER MUSTANGS UP FOR ADOPTION JULY 26, 27 IN BEND, OREGON
Eight Kiger mustangs are set for adoption at a special event in Central
Oregon this summer. The High Desert Museum will host the adoption on
Saturday and Sunday, July 26 and 27. These 8 Kigers have not been

We’ve had dozens of inquiries about Kiger availability and are pleased

Mustang CHALLENGE Comes to Harney County!
Story by Randy Parks for Burns Times Herald
In just a few days, Harney County horse trainer Corinne Elser will load
her 3-year-old filly, Dolly, into a trailer and head for Sacramento,
California. The trip will be the culmination of a project that began
back in February when Elser was notified by the Mustang Heritage
Foundation that she had been selected to compete in the Western States
Horse Expo Mustang Challenge June 6-9 in Sacramento.
Elser and the other 34 select trainers from around the country were
required to travel to Sacramento and pick up pre-selected wild mustangs.
“It was a random draw for the horses,” Elser said. “I just backed the
trailer up, and they loaded her on.” After getting their horses, each
trainer would then have 90 days to work with them before returning for
the Mustang Challenge competition. Now that those 90 days are almost
up, Elser is excited and eager to show Dolly’s talents to an expected
crowd of 50,000 people.
The competition
During the Mustang Challenge on Friday, June 6, each trainer will be
judged on the condition of their horse, including body weight, muscle
tone and weight. Each trainer will also have to handle their horse
“in-hand” through a series of maneuvers, including backing through an
“L,” picking up the horse’s feet, loading it into a trailer and
completing an obstacle course. On Saturday, the competitors will
complete a “horse course.” “It includes walk, trot and canter with both
leads, ride in pattern, stop and back and walk over a bridge,” Elser
said. “And there will be some surprises for us, too.” The top 10
trainers will then be selected, and they will perform a four-minute
freestyle routine set to music. The winner of the freestyle will then be
named as the overall winner.
Background
Competing in the Mustang Challenge seems a natural progression for Elser
who began riding at a very young age. “I’ve been riding since I was 2,”
she smiled. “When I was 5, people used to get me to ride their ponies
for them. The ponies needed to be ridden and the owners had gotten too
big to do it, so I’d do it.” After graduating from Grants Pass High
School in 2003, Elser went to work as a volunteer at the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) Wild Horse Corrals outside of Hines. About five months
later, she began training horses professionally. Elser is currently
training 10 horses, including Dolly, and said her typical work day runs
from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. “I work each horse for an hour to an
hour-and-a-half each day,” she said. “They might get a day off once in a
while if I have to go into town or something, but otherwise I’m out
there with them every day.” Training a wild horse is nothing new to
Elser, who figures she has worked with more then 200 mustangs in the
past five years. She also tries to attend a few horse shows each year.
Last year included three shows in Ontario, four with the Great Basin
Saddle Club, and she showed at the Harney County Fair. “I’ve done horse
shows, but none like this (Mustang Challenge).”
Dolly
Even though she didn’t get to hand-pick Dolly from the herd, Elser said
she knew the filly was special from the start, which led to her moniker.
“She was easy from the first day, and I kept telling her, ‘You’re such a
doll,’ ” Elser said. “I know the name is kind of corny, but it fit.”
Dolly was gathered from the Coppersmith Herd Management Area, which
includes land in both Nevada and California, but she seems right at home
in Harney County. “She might get a little hyperactive at times, but for
the most part, she’s a great horse,” Elser said. Elser has already had
Dolly at some recent brandings and other gatherings, as well as taking
her to a horse show in Ontario a few weeks ago. “There were a lot of
people there, clapping and making noise, but she did OK,” Elser said.
“There’s going to be a much bigger crowd in Sacramento, and she might be
a little nervous at first, but I think she’ll do OK.”
Mustang Challenge
Elser said that she and her mother attended a mustang show (The Extreme
Mustang Makeover) in Texas last September, and it looked like something
she wanted to do. “I like challenges,” she laughed. “I’m always up for a
challenge, and I feel like I’m ready for this one.” Following the
competition, the horses will be auctioned off and each trainer will get
20 percent of the winning bid. “We also get $500 for our work, but with
fuel prices as high as they are, you’re really not making money,” Elser
said. “But it’s not about the money. I do it for the fun of it.”
