FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OPEN HOUSE SCHEDULED FOR WILD HORSE SANCTUARY SHINGLETOWN, CA - With magnificent Lassen Peak in the background, the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Shingletown will celebrate its 30th anniversary with an Open House on Saturday, August 15, 2009 from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Open House festivities include a docent-led walk to view the wild mustangs and burros up close; FREE horse rides for children 10 and under; prize drawings featuring a grand prize Wild Horse Sanctuary weekend trail ride; barbecue; cowboy poetry, entertainment; and barn dance. Other returning favorites include demonstrations on horseshoeing, horse grooming, and saddling scheduled throughout the day, plus a question and answer session with a veterinarian. To help raise funds to care for nearly 300 wild horses and burros that roam the 5,000-acre Wild Horse Sanctuary, guests can bid on several silent auction items. Auction items include trips, gift items, artwork, and a selection of specialty merchandise. "The Open House is our way of saying thank you to the community that has been so supportive over the years and to share the story of wild horses with visitors in a fun and relaxed atmosphere," stated Dianne Nelson, Founder, Wild Horse Sanctuary. A non-profit organization, the Wild Horse Sanctuary has served as a haven for America's wild horses and burros since 1978. In its location at 5796 Wilson Hill Road near the northern California community of Shingletown (approximately 170 miles northeast of Sacramento), these disappearing symbols of the American West can roam free and live out their natural lives.
