Cheyenne Prognosis

PROGNOSIS: Unfortunately the veterinarians prognosis was extremely grim and euthanasia is the recommendation for Cheyenne. HOWEVER, if you know anything about us, you know that we do not give up easy. In fact, all of our injured rescues, like Pacman, Diamond , Mori and Gem received an initial recommendation of euthanasia. That is not a criticism of our veterinarians; they are realistic and also take into account that our budget is not unlimited. With that said, we also know when it is time to let them go. So first we are going to give it our absolute all and give her a fair chance.
Her injury, which is severely infected, could be a fracture or severed tendon. We do not know for sure just yet, since she is a wild horse and we cannot get an X-ray unless we forcibly sedate her which can get dangerous, put her in shock and worsen the injury. Instead we choose to manage wild horses with the patience they need and deserve.
Right now, we are using the trust technique to get quick results since time is of the essence. In these pictures you see James French at work. James and Shelley are truly amazing. They donate their time to charities worldwide and we are lucky to have them here at this time. Because of the fast progress he’s made, we have been able to administer critical antiseptic solution and colloidal silver right on the wound and she has eaten bute and antibiotics for her pain and inflammation. The next critical step is to get the halter on her today, so that we can administer the antibiotics more directly on her tongue. We will keep you updated on this process.
Disclaimer; do not try this without training.
If you’d like to learn more about this trust technique visit their website and they will even give us 25% if you buy their course! Click here:https://trust-technique.com/inspiration/tt/53/

If you’d like to donate towards Cheyenne and Nakota’s medical care please click here: https://saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup.org/make-a-contr…/

Thank you for the much needed support. Your thoughts and prayers are needed. Thank you.

Enjoying the cool mornings? They do too.In the Tonto National Forest, you can stumble upon a band of wild horses like this. None of these horses are sick, they are just sleeping. Please let wild horses take their naps.If you are careful and quiet, you can take pictures like this, without ever disturbing them. This photographer is an SRWHMG volunteer in the field. Our volunteers stick to the 50 ft guideline and often more, in order not to disturb: the horses never got up. If they do get up, you know you've disturbed them. Anytime they look directly at you, you know you've disturbed them, even if in a small way. If everyone who comes across the Salt River horses disturbs them in their natural behavior, they'll never have a minutes rest. Please enjoy watching the horses while adhering to these viewing guidelines: -Keep a safe distance of 50 ft from horses at all times, even if they come your way. This is for their well being, and for yours.-Approaching closer than 50 ft can be interfering/harrassment, which is punishable by law with a fine and/or jail sentence. -Do not feed horses, this is bad for them and is also against the law. (except for the feed program by SRWHMG) - Keep dogs leashed as horses can attack dogs and vice versa. Maricopa County Leash Law is in effect in the Tonto National Forest. -Close all gates behind you for their safety. -when riding horses in the forest it is even easier to disturb them. Also horses can have any disease/virus/bacteria, that may be contagious to domestic horses. Please ride at your own risk.- Trash kills. This is their home and it is your public lands. Pack out what you pack in and pick up after someone else to help make a difference. -Please report any issues of injuries or harrassment or broken fences to the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group (SRWHMG) Thank You. SRWHMG. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit www.srwhmg.org ... See MoreSee Less

Our pretty boy Diamond (Saphire x Shadowfax) needed rescue after he ripped his hoof off in a cattleguard at Butcher Jones. While euthanasia was recommended, we stubbornly refused, and instead, we gave him the very best chance to prove to everyone that wild horses are absolutely miraculous in healing themselves. He sure did that! While no expert or veteranarian believed it would happen, he grew an entirely new hoof that looks normal. (Ofcourse it took months and months of daily care on our part) However, the coffin bone is still only half a coffin bone and it is pointed down and sideways (see his most recent xrays). Because he does get uncomfortable sometimes, we give him the very best of hoofcare and very special aluminum shoes. It is a lifelong commitment to making him as comfortable as possible and give him a quality life with his buddies Rosco and Pacman. We can only provide quality care like this, because we try to find sponsors for their care.However, ever since the pandemic, many sponsors have canceled their monthly support and we just rescued even more wild horses from the Alpine herd. Our sponsorships don't have a minimum like the big organizations with spots on tv. We don't spend money on advertising. Therefore you can sponsor Diamond, or any other rescue, for the price of a cup of coffee per month, or for the price of a manicure per month, that doesnt matter. What matters is not how much, but just the act of really doing it, and becoming our sponsor. What matters is knowing that you make a difference. We need sponsors badly to continue to do what we do best; which is treating wild horses humanely, both in the wild and in our care. Thank you so much to our existing sponsors and donors! Let's continue to go the extra mile for wild horses everywhere! Gratefully, SRWHMGClick here:"Sponsor Diamond - Salt River Wild Horse Management Group" saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup.org/sponsor-diamond/ ... See MoreSee Less

We went through hours of footage and found some of our auction stallions in our previous records. They used to live way up high where the Apache Forest is not maintained and where they are definately helping to reduce the fire danger. It's ironic that what came to mind to say in this video was "these horses have the life". They were plucked from it, and while we were able to save these ones, where are the next ones going to go? From the most beautiful home, to homeless. The poor Alpine wild horses are the scapegoats for environmental damage the authorized cattle do. Like share and spread the word. #leavewildhorseswildWe will continue to document the Alpine wild horses and fight for them. Don't forget to click *see first* on our page if you want to stay updated. Thank you everyone! SRWHMG. ... See MoreSee Less
