Check out this absolutely stunning continuation of Salt River wild horse genetics. Making an appearance at the river today — the breathtaking, the spitting image, the bratty, but stunning Wonder is turning 2 years old this year, right after his brother Splendor turns 3, can you believe it?
Please share because no horse should ever be left behind! ❤️
At first glance, he looked like a Salt River wild horse. But he wasn’t wild. He was a domestic horse abandoned in the forest — left by the person he knew. Heartbreaking
Have you been wondering how Wonder is doing?
This band has not been seen in their usual spot for a while so we’ve been getting this question a lot.
How’s Moonfire doing? Answer: Great!
We are so glad we were able to save this foal’s life!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Salt River Wild Horse Management Group Calls for Independent Investigation into Repeated Wild Horse Shootings Arizona
The Salt River Wild Horse Management Group (SRWHMG) is formally calling for an independent investigation by another agency, in addition to the Forest Service investigations and Navajo County Investigations, of the repeated shootings of wild horses in the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest in northern Arizona.
Grateful for Community Support
When a 100-year storm moved through the area, our SRWHMG property experienced significant damage. Heavy runoff created holes in our road, damaged our drive, and shifted debris onto our land — all of which needed attention.

ABC15: The USDA Forest Service is urging anyone with information about the recent killings of nine wild horses,
It’s so disturbing that in this day and age callous brutal wild horse shootings continue year after year, without any investigations amounting to anything. It is notable that these incidents seem to occur every January.

Sadly, as we ring in the new year, the future of the Salt River wild horses is still very uncertain.
We’ll be honest: we don’t yet know what kind of year lies ahead for the Salt River wild horses.
