Help us hope for a reuniting, because we sure aren't looking for sleepless nights again! We just ended nightwatch over Rosy and Peanut! (They are both doing fantastic). Raising orphan foals is tedious, extremely time-consuming (24hr) and very expensive!
We consider, with fires raging, drought persisting, and ominous smoke all around us, that it is a very good thing that the Salt River wild horses keep the dry vegetation down in the Salt River habitat. However, for lack of rain, the ground has turned back to desert sand; and the horses are in a ...
