The PMWMC was recently contacted by Canadian singer/songwriter Sharon Anderson who wrote a song about the Pryor wild horses, and actually all wild horses. It is called "Wild Cabella." She asked me about video footage of the Pryor Horses and I immediately thought of Sandy Elmore who has been photographing and video taping these beautiful horses for a long time now. I then got both women in contact with each other and they have so expertly produced this amazingly heart touching video/song.
Sandy has done an incredible job putting this together and her footage is breathtaking. Sharon has a very beautiful and unique voice and so this video/song is very well matched.
The PMWMC is so grateful to both of these women and all of the people involved to make this possible.
You can read a bit of what Sharon wrote and she also gives her website if you would like to check out more of her music. Cl;ick the link below:

I was recently contacted by Ms. Norma Englert who lives in Bridger Montana. She needs to find a home for "Buddy" the Pryor Mountain Mustang that she adopted at the 2009 gather/auction. He is a beautiful Bay gelding. Anybody wishing to find out more about Buddy, or can help find him a good home should call Norma at:406-662-3458.
I have added a photo of Buddy that Norma sent to me at the Center.

It was my first summer as the Director for the PMWMC and I was so happy to meet all of the people who support the Center and the Horses. I would personally like to thank all of the visitors who stopped at the PMWMC this summer. Many came to see the horses and others did not know about the horses. Whatever reason they had for stopping at the Center, most left with a better understanding of the Pryor Mountain Wild Horses and what the Center is all about. Thank you for all of your donations and interest in these very special horses.
It was a difficult period for the Center after the untimely and shocking death of Admiral & Kapitan. We will miss them both forever.
We thank everyone for their compassion during that time.
We also want to thank the photographers who donated their photos to the Center for display and for sale. You are all appreciated so very much.
Many thanks to Matthew Dillon for his never ending Love, Dedication and Compassion for the Horses and the Center. You are irreplaceable for everything you do. Thanks for all of your help and patience with me during the last 6 months.
We could not do it without you Matt!!!
A huge thanks to Tom Dillon for the tours (in the past) and countless hours of watching and documenting the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustangs.
As winter is just about upon us I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. With your help and support we will continue our mission to preserve, promote and protect these beautiful Pryor Mountain Wild Mustangs.
I thank all of you for your support and your interest in the Pryor Mountain Wild Horses, and for your patience with me during this transition period.
Sincerely,
Lori Graham

July 24, 2011- Tragic Accident of two Pryor Stallions
Due to an irresponsible, intoxicated driver we lost two of our stallions up on the mountain in the lower Dryhead area near the entrance to the Wild Horse Range. The stallions that we lost were, Harem stallion; Admiral-2000-2011, and his son Kapitan- 2010-2011. We will miss them very much. Admiral's mares; Seneca- Kapitans mother, and Hightail- Admirals mother; are both fine and have been joined by Jesse James and Hickok and seem to be living in the same area near the entrance of the range. Check on the blog for further information.

The Center is committed to preserving the Pryor Mountain Wild Horses. In order to achieve this goal, the lands of the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range must be preserved as well. We invite you to participate in these goals by joining this Foster Program. For a donation of $30.00, supporters will receive a Foster Horse packet for one of the four available Foster horse's of their choice. One of our Foster horses, "Admiral" was tragically killed on July 24th 2011; However he is still available as a memorial Foster horse. The donations will be directly applied to range improvement projects that will help ensure the health of the wild horses. From each $30.00 donation, $20.00 will be allocated for range improvement projects. Examples of range improvement projects include reseeding, developing new water sources, improving educational signage, and new signs advising drivers of speed limits and horse crossings.
