Wild Horse Slated for Home in Austrailia
By Janet Neal,
WH&B Public Outreach Coordinator,
BLM National Marketing Team

At a recent adoption in Ridgecrest, California, Valerie Harris, from San Miguel, adopted a three-year-old mustang mare for her friend Debra Cown-Hacket.  Debra lives in Cockatoo, Victoria, Australia.

The mustang, named Whisper, will be kept in Valerie’s care in California until title is passed.  Debra will be coming to the United States throughout the year to attend several training courses from a well-known horse trainer as well as training certification before she takes Whisper home to Australia.

After receiving title, the horse will be placed in U.S. quarantine, fly to Australia, and be placed in Australia quarantine before heading to her new home in Cockatoo.  According to Debra, this will be the first mustang to be imported into Australia at a cost of over $11,000 just for the plane ticket.  Whisper will even have her own personal flight attendant!
