ANOTHER Dumped Horse in the Tonto National Forest!

We had to rescue yet ANOTHER dumped horse in the Tonto National Forest! SERIOUSLY!
This one is a gelding as well and a little younger than the other one, approximately 16 to18 yrs and the paint looks to be approximately 18 to 20. Both appear healthy and not lame. After getting him safe as well, it was awfully suspicious how happy these two horses were to see each other!
If anyone knows these horses or has seen them in someone’s yard, we sure would love to find out who the person is who a.) starved these horses and b.) left them to die in the desert.
This sweet boy, much like the other, could not wait to get in the trailer; he wanted a bath, a good dinner and a safe place to sleep.
That was quickly provided by our friends and volunteers Mike and Shannon of AZtrailriding.com!
Our AZ Department of Agriculture helped transport this guy and is working with us so that these boys will NOT have to be taken to the auction site in Buckeye! Thank you AZDA! (We told you, they are fantastic)
We are going to make very sure that they will end up in a wonderful forever home, TOGETHER.
Thank you for your support.

Please keep our Forest and wild horse habitat safe this 4th of July. Last year we had to tattle-tale on several people who did not think it pertained to them. That's not to be petty, but to keep the horses safe and prevent Forest fires. Please share. Thank you everyone! SRWHMG.Fireworks and Public Lands Don’t Mix! Help keep our public lands safe and leave fireworks at home. Remember: possessing, discharging, or using any kind of fireworks or other pyrotechnic devices on Federal lands is illegal at any time of the year. ... See MoreSee Less

We finally found Bubbles' (Champagne's) band! Unfortunately they are on the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian reservation (SRPMIC), and we do not have an agreement with them, so we cannot go dart Bubbles, who is over a year old now, it will be a real risk to her young life to get pregnant too early. 😢. The boundary between the reservation and the Forest is solidly fenced, but there is a small spot at the river where they can still come back. Let's hope they come back soon!

👏 Smallest orphan Salt River wild horse celebrates his 4th Birthday! Can you believe he made it? Just to see him happy ever after, was worth every effort, every penny, and every sleepless night. Happy Birthday Gideon! 🎂For his Birthday, Gideon would love a new giant ball and some flyspray and maybe some horse cookies? This is our Amazon wishlist: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/25GGV6RKS04SM💕And this is where you can become Gideon's sponsor for his monthly care and feed. Even when they are bigger and maybe not as cute, they still eat a lot and always need their daily and monthly care! saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup.org/sponsor-gideon/👉It is thanks to our amazing supporters, our amazing volunteers, and our amazing partnership with AZDA and FS that happily- ever-after, is the norm for the Salt River wild horses, be it in the wild or at our rescue. This is Gideon's story:Gideon was found abandoned under a 🌴tree in July’s 💥scorching 115 temperatures as a premature brand-new newborn, by a family that was 🧺picnicking at the recreation area, and there were no other horses around. When SRWHMG volunteers arrived, he was weak and immobile, extremely dehydrated and overheated, and he never received his important first mothersmilk, colostrum.He weighed only 33 pounds, which is half of the size of a normal newborn wild foal.It was a mad rush to the Equine hospital where he immediately received an IV with plasma and 💦hydration, which was in the nick of time to save his life. The caller and the fast response from our field team saved Gideon's life, as another half hour would have for sure been fatal. Fragile newborns like him cannot regulate their own temparature very well and it was too hot for Gideon to be outside at the rescue facility, and because he needed feeding every hour around the clock, he spent his first month in Simone's livingroom, with an army of volunteers coming and going. Later he was to be joined by his buddy Snow, who was also very fortunate. Here is a cute flashback. www.facebook.com/saltrive.../videos/1788436387905778Its hard to believe that that was 4 years ago.Just two short weeks after Gideon’s rescue we would be rescuing Snow (we will feature Snow’s story next) and the little boys grew up together, did everything together, and are still together and best friends today! saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup.org/sponsor.../Thank you everyone!
