This is a notice that was recently forewarded to me by e-mail. How exciting that our Nations horses will be taking part in the most American ritual of all!

Mustangs that were running wild less than two years ago will be part of next month's inaugural parade for Barack Obama.
The formerly wild horses are part of the U.S. Border Patrol's mounted unit,which operates out of Colville, Metaline Falls and other Inland Northwestlocations.
The unit received an invitation to bring eight of its mustangs to Washington, D.C., next month to march in the parade with the agency's honorguard and bagpipe and drum team.
For the unit, the invitation represents a chance to show off a successful program that blends environmentally friendly practices and criminal rehabilitation. For the horses, it represents a long journey from runningwild on federal land to marching down the broad avenues of the nation's capital.

I have been reading reports about why obama has done this and the games people play in politics but if your a mustang lover and if you have one you know the feeling,. isn't this great, everyone in the nation can see what these horses are and how great a job they do for us but most importantly what that have done for us in the past. the people that loves these horse always have a hard time trying to show people what the strengths of these horses are, they will protect you at all cost , if they love you, ask a mustang owner.
