This is why we do what we do...

Both of these youngsters were born to slaughter-bound wild mares that were rescued from the feedlot in Nevada.  Can you imagine?

 

Storm (the bigger guy) was born on our ranch April 20th; Brian was born on Sunday, May 18th.  Mom's stand vigilant over their afternoon naps

The Meaning of Rescue

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,

All nicely tucked in my warm new bed.

I'd like to open my baggage, lest I forget.

There's so much to carry, so much to regret.

Yes, there it is, right on the top,

Let's unpack loneliness, heartache and loss.

And there by my feeder hides fear and shame.

As I look on these things I tried hard to leave,

I still have to unpack my baggage called pain.

I loved them, the others, the one's who left me,

But I wasn't good enough, for they didn't want me.

Will you add to my baggage, or help me unpack?

Will you look at my things and take me right back?

Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage, to never repack?
I pray that you do, I'm so tired you see,
but I do come with baggage, will you still want me?

Despite the massive cleansing campaign over the last several years, BLM continues to report 33,000 wild horses and burros still roam public lands. However, independent analysis utilizing BLMs own statistics and methods of annual population reports, removals and reproductive rates concluded the most likely wild populations still remaining is merely 13,500 wild horses and burros - 20,000 less than BLM reported.

Once in a while a horse comes along that leaves you in awe.  Casper has been such a horse.  Knowing I didn't have much time to work with outside horses and take on any new clients I was unsure when I agreed to bring Casper & Bucky in for training for a new, first time adopter.  But, the reward has been a true affirmation as to why I love the mustangs so much.  Read about our journey here...

Horse Slaughter Video

This is horrible to watch, but if you want to know, and you really believe that slaughter is an option, then, grab a box of tissues and force yourself to view this. The video is published and provided by the Humane Society of the U.S.

WARNING THIS VIDEO IS GRAPHIC & SHOULD NOT BE SHOWN TO CHILDREN!
