Cheyenne and her baby mule, Sioux, were brought to our attention on February 11, 2015. They had been purchased by a kill buyer at an auction in Missouri and were shipped to a kill pen in Oklahoma awaiting transport to Mexico for slaughter. Well, we couldn't allow that to happen! So, we paid their bail money, and our dear friend, Kensee Davis, undertook the day-long odyssey of getting them to the Pegasus ranch. They arrived the evening of February 13, 2015 and have been under our care for the past year. After a few months, we got Sioux weaned and put mama and baby in different pastures. They are both doing very well.

In early 2016, after allowing Cheyenne to get well-settled, Dale started working with her to determine her training level and her trainability. We decided that she had never been started under saddle, but she was willing and agreeable. Our dentist aged Cheyenne at 15 years, and despite getting a late start in life, Cheyenne is well-mannered and loves attention. She has proven to be a quick learner and has taken to saddle work like a pro. We expect that with a few more months of training, Cheyenne will be ready for adoption. Dale is working to build her confidence on the trail. Cheyenne is lovely with other horses and is a very kind mare. She is a great horse. We know her perfect person is out there and that some lucky adopter will find her soon. We adore this sorrel beauty!
