Eight years ago, Shane Adams’s beloved horse, Mongo, became one of about 86,000 wild mustangs roaming the West. But last week, he finally came home.
in the Cedar Mountain herd management area — where about 920 horses free-roam in a space with the appropriate resources to manage between 190 to 390.It was during this roundup in Tooele County that the Bureau of Land Management finally found Mongo, Adams said. Unlike the other horses, Mongo behaved like he had been trained in a previous life, and the branding in his coat was a telltale sign that he wasn’t feral like his mates.
In the time they had spent apart, Mongo had become a bit of a legend in the Adams household. Pictures of the chocolate-colored, Persian and Quarter horse mix were still displayed at home. Adams’s son — who was only 2 when the horse vanished — had made up songs about “They said it’ll be probably like five years before I could think of getting on a horse. But I’ve already proved them wrong on that,” said Adams, who is now easing his way back into the saddle. Though he can ride again, he said he is still working on regaining the same level of control he had before.
