BLM Mulestangs for Sale
Yes, mule-mustangs! These kids were all wild-born mules. They are from the Twin Peaks HMA, which is the biggest HMA in California:
Today the herd is descended from US Army Cavalry remounts released prior to and during World War I, and historic draft and riding ranching stock. The horses are mostly bay, black, and chestnut, but pintos and appaloosas are somewhat common. Some horses even have a metallic sheen to them. The burros likely originated from historic sheep grazing operations in the area. Because Twin Peaks HMA has both horses and burros, it also is one of the few HMAs that has mules. The Twin Peaks animals are highly desired by adopters because of their size, quiet temperaments, and color.

My Wild Burro Story
By Karin Usko
Bracelet Margarita is my Johnny, NV burro. You may know the story; she earned her name by getting her foot caught in a pipe and somehow made it to someone's back yard. They called the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Ridgecrest Off-Range Wild Horse and Burro Corrals in California, to let them know there was a hurt donkey in their backyard. The BLM retrieved her and named her Bracelet. They healed her wounds and kept her until I took her as a Trainer Incentive Program project for an adoption event at the 2018 Bishop Mule Days. Yeah, we ended up adopting her ourselves as she was always a super kind donkey. Just like Eeore. Just three days before Bishop's event we were still convinced she was going to be adopted out to some lucky home. I decided to take her on a 4-mile walk -- and we jogged. She did so great that I told my husband, "this is a premium donkey, she will be a great and docile pack burro runner!" Well, she went to the adoption event in Bishop and then came home with us!
By the end of July 2018, she made it to the Fairplay, Colorado pack burro race with me and her brand-new pack saddle. We signed up for the 15-mile run and I was convinced we would do great. CNN was even there covering the race, it was great! So about 1/4 mile into the race, Bracie didn’t want to go any more. At this point, her friends/herd buddies were way ahead of us and she just lost her momentum! After much encouragement, cajoling, pushing and pulling it became evident we were not going to be able to continue the race past the two-mile Aid Station. I decided to quit (in our community it is called a DNF for did not finish and there is NO PRIDE IN THAT!).
I started up a conversation with someone behind me struggling with her pack – she had also decided to quit. At that point, we decided to go off-course and wound up walking and exploring about eight miles together – I gained a new trail friend and it was great!
So, that is how sweet Bracie earned her title "my DNF donkey". Running is not her thing, but loving is -- she is a great trail donkey and bomb proof obstacle buddy. She attends the Christmas Service at a local church with Mary, visits the residents at the Assisted Living Facility and shops at the Farmer’s Market with us. She is our Bracie... the DNF donkey.
OH and YES! We made it to the CNN feature “annual running of the… burros?” https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/15/health/pack-burro-donkey-sport-fit-nation/index.html
Not a mustang this time, but Franky the BLM burro!
“Franky is a very loving burro. He has been taught to lead, drive a cart and can be ridden as well. He picks up all four feet with ease. Franky has a calm demeanor and whether it is for work or play, he will be a pleasure to have.”
He’s a pinto, and 7 years old. Bidding starts at $125.
