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.
