About this Blog
April 26, 2006
Mustang Mountain, otherwise known as Stars Rest, is located on the side of a mountain in northeastern New Mexico. We are at 7,600′ elevation and our terrain varies from steep granite bluff to rolling sandy bottom. We are surrounded by ponderosa pine forest and have no pasture land.
Our formerly wild mustangs are fed grass hay and just enough beet pulp to provide them with necessary supplements. They are all kept barefoot and have no difficulty climbing up and even galloping over our rugged mountain terrain. In spite of dire predictions of lameness and injury from keeping horses on this rugged piece of land, our little bachelor band has just gotten stronger, healthier and happier.
The purpose of this blog is to provide a resource for people who are either in the process of creating an alternative habitat lifestyle for their horses or interested in creating one. Many of the sites described here were inspired in some way by Jaime Jackson’s concept of Paddock Paradise. Please visit and share ideas and if you would like your own Paddock Paradise included on this blog just contact me by email.
Thanks - Carmon Deyo
