2009 Donkey Mare/Jenny

Formerly known as tag #9810, Shadowfax was part of our rescue effort to save the last 14 mustangs in a group of 31 mustangs that all ended up at a kill lot in Oklahoma. She is completely unhandled, has been wild her whole life, through her mid teens. All of this means her chances of being rescued from the kill lot were not good. 

​Shadowfax was once living wild in the Bullfrog Herd Management Area located in the Mojave Desert in Nevada. She lost her freedom on September 23rd, 2019 during the Bullfrog HMA gather  when she was 10 years old. By February of 2023 she found herself trapped again, but this time she inside of a kill pen.

We found pictures from that day, and we were able to identify her by the unique white covering most of her face, it is a distinguishing feature not seen in any of the other captured burrows. She is also a much lighter gray than the others. We see her standing proud with her baby by her side. We can't imagine the pain when they were split apart.
