Trooper
Trooper died suddenly at foster while waiting for his dinner. He arrived with a broken nasal bone, which is why his face is swollen. He was in a good place when he passed and knew care and a full stomach.

Evanescent featured in the NY TIMES & "tree hugger" - May, 2
Bringing to light the BLM Adoption Incentive Program is not working, Evanescent Mustang Rescue was featured in this article on Tree Hugger. The only comment so far says Mustangs should be sent STRAIGHT to slaughter, so let's FILL IT WITH comments from Mustang supporters!
A more in depth article in the New York Times. We are glad to see the media paying attention to the plight of the Mustangs and Burros being put at risk due to the terrible Adoption Incentive program.

The Cleburn 24
We pulled off a MIRACLE last night!
Nov. 12, 2020 - On Nov. 9th, we learned of 20 BLM Mustangs dropped at the Cleburn Horse Auction in TX. Most were mares that had been running with 2 stallions (not dropped @ auction) and are most likely pregnant. All Mustangs were only titled 2 mos. ago and likely victims of the Adoption Incentive Program...
We owe a HUGE THANK YOU to Skydog Ranch, their supporters and Evanescent's supporters!! You were all SO generous in this extremely short time frame and enough donations were received to save ALL 20, which turned out to be a total of 24 including 3 foals and a surprise Mustang Makeover Mustang. For more details, please LIKE us on Facebook.
What's next? 12/7/2020

Additional Information
Meet Lady - a very sweet, skinny Mustang. When Evanescent heard about her heading to auction, our amazing supporters stepped up again and we were able to keep her from going to the kill buyer! However, as you can see she has a long recovery ahead. While donations to save the Mustangs up front are *always* appreciated, funds are equally important for their health care & special diets.
May, 2019 updates...
From Luci(fer) to Lucy
Lucy was one of the 7 Spanish Angels and she has since gone through an amazing transformation. It took being let out with a herd and one special horse in the group to show her everything will be ok! Read the full story here.
But that's not all the good news... Lucy has been ADOPTED!!
Gandalf
Saved from a Texas kill pen auction just two weeks after being picked up at an adoption event. Gandalf is 4 yrs old from Beauty Butte Oregon - sale authority.
He has arrived at his foster home in Colorado where he will be gentled. Fortunately, he has remained healthy through his QT, but if you are able to donate any amount toward his hauling & care while he decompresses, we would be ever grateful!
Feel free to contact us to inquire about Mustangs for adoption.

March 5, 2019 - Updates...
Atoka now at Evanescent Sancturary
As of March 1, 2019, Atoka has made it to Evanescent's Sanctuary to live out his life in peace. Words cannot convey how grateful we are to our donors and fosters to get ALL the Mustangs on this page to a safe place! Pictured below are just some of the Mustangs saved in 2019 either at auction or from kill pens in the South.
************************************************
Baby Hope
We were made aware of a Mustang yearling filly in a Colorado kill pen, which broke our hearts. Our donors felt the same and came together to raise the funds to save this baby - Feb., 2019.
Pony Mustang - Valentine
Valentine was saved from a KS Kill pen after we found her there... yes, on Valentine's Day. The vet treating her for kill pen crud is estimating her at about 20 yrs. old.
Mariko
Mariko & Akira (pic below) both came from a N. Texas kill pen and are said to be pregnant. Both will be vet checked next week at their foster home. Thank you SO much to our donors for saving this beautiful pinto grulla and her friend, Akira.
Akira
It's hard to tell, but Akira is a pinto also.
Faith
Faith was saved pre-kill pen at a livestock auction. She was so traumatized by her experience there, she had to be moved to a 2nd foster home due to her behavior getting the other horses riled up too much. She now has her own quiet area to settle in and recover.
