I adopted Rose from the Utah Animal Adoptions and she has been a great horse. She is a mustang who was rescued by them. I was looking for a mustang of my own so that I could still ride with the drill team and ride in parades. I am a member of the Wild Horse and Burro Advisors here in Utah and the horse I was riding became unavailable for me to use so I had to find a new horse. The person at UAA was very helpful and all the mustangs I looked at just did not fit what I was looking for. She told me about Rose named Rosa at the time and I went to look at her on a cold February morning. I was love at first sight for both of us. She came right up to the fence and gave me a kiss and when I left she followed the car to the end of her pasture. We have had a lot of fun learning about each other and becoming a team. We did real well at the Utah Wild Horse and Burro Festival and I am looking forward to doing more with the Aces Wild All Mustang Drill Team in the future. She has taught me a lot about mustangs and I love her very much. She is my girl. Her name came to me in a dream and I knew that she was the one I was looking for. Her name now is My Desert Rose.
