THE MARIN MUSTANGS CLUB

A friend I play soccer with, her name is Grace, brought together all her friends who go horse-back riding, and she put together a little club, the Marin Mustangs Club. In the club, we write tons of letters explaining the mustangs dilemma, and how we can help. We also do some projects, like baking mustang cupcakes! Some of the group members also went to Ms. Grossman's sticker company, and set up a booth there I believe. But our club is just starting, we are going to do many other fun projects, and make posters, there is just so much that we can do to help!

We have written the letters to many different people, one time we wrote to the president, senators, and congress men, in the White House. That was very fun! I received a letter back from the president, but it was just one those letters they send to anyone who writes to the White House. I also received a response from Dianne Feinstein, a senator, and this one was actually a personal letter! She was very nice, and you can check out the letter, on the new post I made that has exactly, word for word what she wrote to me!

Another time we wrote letters to celebrities, and one girl in our club is a huge Taylor Swift fan, so she is going to be super happy, if she gets a response from her! That was very exciting, and I'm hoping that those people out there that are very rich and famous, will make some other people care for the mustangs, ands their land, by telling them the news too.

Everyone in our club has learned almost everything about the mustangs and their land, from PJ, and her sister Valary, Briemer. PJ and Valary are some good friends of Grace's, and they actually own two wild mustangs. The horses names are Apollo, and Athena, and I am hoping that I will get to see them some day. A little message out to PJ and Valary, Thanks for everything!

I hope you are inspired to stick up for what you believe is right! Every little bit counts, so if you have a strong opinion on something, share it with the world, and maybe you will change our earth forever.

Note: I did not use any resources for this post, except my knowledge about our club.

FACTS

• The wild mustangs used to have 53 acres of their own, now they they have 27 acres all together.

• There used to be one thousand, nine hundred, two million, wild mustangs on their land. Now there are some where between 15,000 or 30,000 left.

• A stallion is NOT a breed! I have heard too many people think that a black stallion, is a breed. It is not. A black stallion, just means a black male horse that can produce babies. That is what a stallion is, a male horse that can produce foals, or babies. A stallion is usually head of the herd. He leads, protects, and mates with the other members of his herd, which are normally mares, (female horses over the age of 4) and a few other stallions. There is always a dominant stallion in the herd, and he takes advantage of that and usually gets a few mares to breed with him.

• One of the funniest things to see a horse do is the flehmen response. It is when a stallion curls his upper lip back, sort of smashing his nostrils! He does this to sniff the air to tell if a mare is ready to mate.
