Sponsor Salt River Horse Batman

We had been monitoring old Batman in his aging and deteriorating condition for some time, but he was hanging in there, and keeping up with his band. We figured he wanted to stay wild and free until the bitter end, that is how old wild horses die, and it’s completely natural. He showed amazing determination to stay with his band and we don’t rescue horses that can keep up with their bands.

But when, his body could no longer keep up and we knew his time was nearing. We searched for him when he was missing from his band and we found him alone, his eyes half closed and his head low; it was the sad look of defeat.

At that point, is when decisions need to be made. The choice being, give him a dignified ending, or rescue him. These decisions are incredibly difficult as you may understand.

It’s worth something to be wild and free until the bitter end. But with that look, he made us ponder, how bitter is too bitter? With that look, it’s as if he said, “don’t leave me this way”.

Some will say we did it wrong, some will say we did it right, but in our partnership with AZDA, together, we make the most humane decisions possible for this cherished herd and every horse in it.

We didn’t leave him that way. We couldn’t. We rescued old Batman. He will need a lot of veterinary care to get him feeling better, and we need fencing to give him space. None of that comes cheap.
