Not Western, not English -- another way to ride a mustang

Dear Readers,
This week I gave a library talk with two wonderful guests -- Mike Myers and Wild Cherry. Wild Cherry is a twelve year old wild horse mare adopted by Mike for his son when she was a weanling. She once roamed the Little Owyhee range and now works at BLM's Palomino Valley Wild Horse and Burro center with other wild horse.
Trained by Mike, she is a multipurpose horse. She can cut, rope, and is great on the trail. She is so calm and even-tempered, Mike often rides her without a saddle or bridle.
Wild Cherry is excellent with children and acts as a goodwill ambassador for BLM's wild horse adoption program. Soon, I'll try to post some photos of Wild Cherry, Mike and some of the 65 kids who showed up!
