Foal Friday! Light Rain

December 3rd

The SRWHMG keeps track of every single Salt River wild horse from the time they are born to the time they die. That’s why we have so many “tales” to tell.

This tiny foal was born on a day when we had prayed for rain, it was the first thing he felt on his skin. He was shivering and we watched him to make sure he would be ok. His name would become “Light Rain“. That was back in August of 2015, a time when the future of the Salt River wild horses was very much in jeopardy.

Since that time this foal grew up, and became powerful and strong, much like our organization did.

Our organization is now managing these treasured wild horses humanely under contract with the state of Arizona, (the AZDA) and this is how we keep them wild and free.

And this tiny foal? He has very recently conquered his own mares and is now a lead stallion! Way to grow Light Rain! If you want to see what he looks like today, keep an eye out for our posts. Make sure that you have not only followed our page but also clicked like on it, and you can also click on “see first” in page settings.

We are so thankful for the powerful and much needed public support. Thank you to everyone who donated on Giving Tuesday!

Planning on keeping them wild and free for a long long time to come. SRWHMG.

It is pretty sad that our Salties have to put up with so much human hussle and bustle in order to simply get to the water and survive. But at the same time, the horses deal with it in amazingly smart ways, and most of the public is also very good and loves the horses. It is no small job to watch out for the horses and for people on a daily basis. We try to be where the most public is, to provide information, and the AZDA and MCSO do that as well, which is great. All authorities work together in our neck of the woods, which we are very proud of because it is a testament to the professionalism and capabilities of our group. When people say they worry about the horse overpopulation, we say we worry about the human overpopulation, because we have the horse population 100% stabilized and under control. So far this year we actually have no foals at all yet, which is surprising even to us, who have made these lofty promises about PZP forever and ever. Now there is no more doubt about it, PZP works better than most of us thought it would. When you come see the Salt River wild horses, please take a close look at the mares and you will see that they are healthy as a ....... , lol. When you look at this picture let's also look at the bigger picture, which is: coexistence between wild animals and wild partying people is possible after all. We are very proud of this peaceful coexistence and if people could just spread the message to stay 50 ft from wild horses at all times, and spread the message to pick up after yourselves, then everything may just be ok. We urgently need your support for our programs, with gasprices wildly insane, we still need volunteers on the river patroling, and we still need darters out darting, and we still need caretakers coming to take care of our rescues. Please join us and become a supporter of the Salt River wild horses so that we can make sure they will be here for a long time to come. Thank you, SRWHMG.ORGPicture by Paris Park Photography. ...

Here is the adorable video we promised of Grandma Celeste, yearling mother Celise and Ceasar when he was brand new. We made a little psa with it which we hope you will share, so that people from everywhere can understand how sentient and loving wild horses are. They deserve far better than the treatment they so often get from the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. (BLM). Luckily in our neck of the woods, we have agreements with the Tonto National Forest and a contract with the AZDA that makes it possible for us to manage these wild horses humanely through birth control. It is because of these agreements that a roundup and removal was prevented, and it is why they get to stay wild for all of the public to enjoy. We believe that solutions like this should be possible for all wild horses everywhere. This is why we appreciate your support so much, because wild horses deserve better. Join us in our important mission. Video by SRWHMG Rick Blandford, editing by Simone Netherlands. ### The Salt River Wild Horse Management Group (#SRWHMG) is an accredited non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the protection and humane management of the Salt River wild horses under contract and partnership with the Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA). SRWHMG does not charge the government for this management and does not receive any government grants. We run 100% on donations from the public who loves these horses. We proudly manage wild horses humanely for the public and by the public. To learn more or to join us in this important cause please go to WWW.SRWHMG.ORGOr donate through our Donate button on our page which also gets to SRWHMG directly. Thank you! ... See MoreSee Less
