Horse Update! Do You Recognize Him?

June 9th

It’s not the clearest picture because he is across the river, but do you recognize him? He is almost unrecognizable because he looks so good!

Picture by SRWHMG volunteer Rosa Ramsthaler, thank you Rosa!

Back in February of this year, in an unprecedented field operation, AZDA, SRWHMG, and our veterinarian team, darted and sedated the old stallion Neiman, in the field. A field operation like that had never been done before on any wild horse.

We spent a lot of money on the operation, because Neiman’s health was declining rapidly at that time, and we of course could not determine exactly why, until we had him sedated.

We found that he had very serious tooth issues, that made it impossible for him to eat, poor guy. Our veterinarian, Dr. Howard, pulled a rotting tooth and filed some others down that were growing into the roof of his mouth. We hoped that now, old Neiman could heal and eat again without being in pain.

We did not know if it would work or if he would actually recover of course, considering that he is over 20 years old. But we gave it our all, cared for him daily for over 3 months with many volunteers, and monitored him wherever he decided to travel for another 6 weeks.

We are now ready to deem Neiman recovered and no longer in need of our individual care. We are also deeming the experimental operation a huge success!! We are glad to have spent the money and effort on him, because it is very sweet to see him living happily ever after.

He deems himself fully recovered also, because he has left our feed station on his own, and traveled back to his old home territory in the area of Water Users, the exact area where he used to take his band. It is a great area for eelgrass.
We want to thank the AZDA for the authorization and the cooperation, and we want to thank all of YOU for your support for our humane management of the Salt River wild horses. However, there were also some mean keyboard critics, who were slandering our group about Neiman, and accused us of horrible things. They even interfered with our authorized processes, when we were taking care of him. Nice apology letters can be sent to: SaltRiverHerd@respect4horses.com.

Thank you very much. SRWHMG.

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

Update on our little Alpine family: They call out every once in a while still and look out to the horizon. We wouldn't think anything of it, except we know who they are calling for; their lead mare and mama of the colt, who died at the auction. But for the rest, they are acclimating really well and have lost most of their fear of volunteers and workers already. The lead stallion is just a doll to the little colt, so we have no worries about that. It's also lucky that the colt is old enough to make it without mothers milk, plus he has a great appetite, so he will be ok. Both mares are going to get pzp so that the family can stay together, so fingers crossed that they are not pregnant already! We are working on our fencing, and by next week they will get to go out and graze in some green grass. It won't be as beautiful as the Apache Forest, but it will be 6 acres of room to roam, which is the best we can do. We want to thank Simone for lending that space to them for free. We have not raised any funds for these guys yet, because we did not want to make anyone think that we wouldn't save them without the funds. We trust that once we add up the costs, that a fundraiser for them will get us back out of the red again. Thank you everyone eryone!! 💓 ... See MoreSee Less
