Take Action for the Sand Wash Basin Wild Horses!

-

The Cloud Foundation's Action Alert.  Click on the image to take action with TCF.

The wild horses of Sand Wash Basin are undergoing a terrible and extremely inhumane roundup right now.  The Bureau of Land Management has categorized this roundup as "emergency" due to drought conditions, but this is just an excuse.  Right now, thousands of privately-owned cattle are grazing in Sand Wash Basin, yet our federally protected, nationally-loved wild horses are the first to be removed.  Additionally, the contractors for this roundup have been violating the Comprehensive Animal Welfare Program guidelines regularly.

Please join us in demanding the BLM to stop this roundup immediately.

Ember is Available for Adoption!

Ember is available for adoption!  This is your chance to own a very special little mustang!  Ember is great on the ground and has been started lightly undersaddle.  She is very well desensitized and absolutely loves people, attention, activity, and adventures.  She is very easy to handle and works hard to please people.  Ember is very good with children and has been a part of my family’s farm field trips for children.  She is easygoing, gentle, fun, curious, and brave - with a bit of spice! 😁 Ember is from the Goshute HMA (Herd Management Area) in Nevada.  She is 13hh and would be best suited for a smaller rider.  Despite her size, though, she is very strong and has a long stride!  Instead of listing all that Ember can do, I’ve made a video for you to watch ! Ember’s adoption fee is $2,000.  If you are interested in Ember, you can fill out our adoption application .  Or, email me at mustangmissionrescue@gmail.com if you have any questions!

Freedom Given Back: Renegade's Story

Freedom Given Back ----------- In south Oregon, lives one of the most magnificent wild horse herds - an opinion held by many wild horse lovers.  The South Steens Wild Horse Herd is home to some of the most intricately-colored pinto horses - pintos that you never knew could exist.  The mustangs’ home is a spectacular location mainly composed of canyons, but with a harsh climate.  For centuries, only the strongest mustangs have survived. This wild horse herd is followed closely, and in 2006, an adorable blue roan pinto was born.  People all over the country fell in love with this colt and began following his life.  Excitement grew as he became a bachelor, then a band stallion and father.  Renegade thrived in his wild home and lived for his freedom and family. Renegade running wild and free.  Photo Credit: Mustang Meg Even though South Steens encompases 130,000 acres, the Appropriate Management Level (AML) is 159-304 horses.  The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) conducts roundups regularly

Georgia's Wild Horses Need Your Help!

Recently, Georgia’s only wild horse herd, living on Cumberland Island, has suddenly been thrust under the spotlight.  The reason?  A few organizations and individuals filed a lawsuit, demanding that the National Park Service (NPS) manage the wild horses by causing them to die out (via fertility control). Cumberland’s Wild Horses need some management (there is not enough forage) due to the lack of natural predators on the island, but the NPS has never managed them.  That is the cause for this sudden push to eliminate horses on the island. However, we’re advocating that the horses remain on the island, where they’ve been and survived for the last 300 years.  We’re also advocating for minimal management using the safe, effective, and reversible PZP fertility control vaccine and that mares are carefully selected to ensure genetic diversity within the herd. I really encourage you to read more about this issue on my website. Now, I’m launching a campaign to “Save the Cumberland Island Wild H
