Mustangs and Other Equine Breeds – In 2011, Texas H2Oasis® found forever homes for two horses. As of January, three more horses are available for adoption. Dallas is a ten-year-old, creamy-leopard, Mustang, Appaloosa mare. She leads, ties, and lifts her feet. She is also green-broken to ride but needs a refresher course from a professional trainer. Spirit is a 14-hand, beautiful, three-year-old Mustang gelding with a gentle soul and an urge to please. Cheyenne is a flaxen-maned Mustang filly, nearly green broke and ready for adoption. Call (512) 894-0105 to meet the critters.
Happy Birthday – Formed on January 22, 2008, to provide informal, environmental education; restore/manage land and water resources; and create an eco-sanctuary for wildlife / animals, Texas H2Oasis® celebrated its third birthday.
Barn Tour Fundraiser – Despite 33 ideas to improve it for next year, the second annual Mustang Mare-y Christmas Barn Tour was a roaring success, with approximately 250 people in attendance. Many thanks to everyone: volunteers, supporters, barn owners, and participants!
Immediate Goal – With winter upon us, the pastures have no grass and can't feed the mustangs. Hay is necessary, no matter the cost, and the mustangs need your help.
Virtually sponsor a mustang! Texas H2Oasis® is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that relies entirely on your donations and volunteer help.
Help Texas H2Oasis® protect these wild mustangs and other equine breeds, as well as support all the critical work we do to protect our environment.
The cost of a round bale $150.00. If anyone would like to make a donation towards that need, it would be very much appreciated. To contribute a round bale - virtually adopt a mustang - or for more information, call (512) 894-0105.
Thank you for your interest and help – and keep checking for upcoming events.
Wishing you all a healthy, happy 2012!
