A Morning With Mustangs event set for September 14 at center

The second of what promises to be an annual event will take place next week at the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center east of Lovell.

A Morning With Mustangs will be held on Saturday morning, Sept. 14, at the Wild Mustang Center, 1106 Road 12. The event promises to be “a fun morning with wild horses, free refreshments and games for kids,” a promotional poster states.

The fun begins at 9 a.m. with attendees invited to meet Whisper, a “miracle mustang,” and the other wild horses living at the Center. Kids will be able to travel the Wild Horse Trail and win prizes.

From 10 to 10:30 a.m., local singers Amanda Bennion and Emilie Asay will perform songs about the area.

From 10:30 a.m. to around 11:30 a.m., the keynote speaker, Dr. Tim McCleary, will present a talk about “Horses in Crow History.”

Dr. McCleary is a professor at Little Bighorn College, and through his studies he has examined various aspects of the historic and contemporary culture of the Apsaalooke people (Crow Indians). He teaches a college course on the history and culture significance of horses among the Apsaalooke.

His September 14 presentation will focus on the connection between the Pryor mustangs and the Apsaalooke people.
