Lee
Breed: BLM
Mustang
Sex: Mare
DOB: 1987
Height:
14 hh
Color: Grey
Markings: None
Location:
Fredericksburg, TX
Adoption Fee:
$100
Temperament:
Ida Lee is a sweet wild
mustang from the free
range lands of the
western U.S.
Physical problems /
health issues:
None. She is a very
healthy 22 year old
horse.
Interaction with horses:
Ida Lee has a herd of
horses as her
companions. She is
socially advanced with
other horses because of
her background of living
in a wild herd. She
probably follows the
herd hierarchy by
bonding with the other
mares in her herd and
dealing with the
geldings diplomatically.
Interaction with people:
She has not been handled
by people. She lives on
open land and has little
human contact. Human
companionship is not
something she is looking
for but she needs
someone to look out for
her and see to her
needs. She will eat
treats if they are
thrown to her but will
not come up to people
for them.
History:
Ida Lee and her mother,
Eula Mae, were seized
from people who had
adopted them from the
BLM and then starved
them both. Both gained
back their weight but
Eula Mae suddenly died,
probably from age
related issues. Ida Lee
was devastated since her
mother had been her
constant companion. Ida
Lee has recovered from
that trauma and now
lives in a very large
pasture with other
horses.
Training / abilities:
Ida Lee has had no
training at all.
Experience level
required to work with
this horse:
Beginner if you are
going to let her live as

wants to try training
her, she will need an
experienced trainer.

Special needs:
Ida Lee needs a large
pasture with at least
one horse companion to
live out her days with.
She was taken from the
wild and has seen much
hardship and pain.
Other comments:
If you have a wide open
space and some equines
to be her buddies,
please consider adopting
this horse. She has
been let down by the BLM,
by her previous owners,
and then she lost her
mother. She deserves a
special forever home to
live out the rest of her
days.
