SRWHMG update: No news is good news, very good news. Sunday, 5, Jul
Happy Independence Day! Saturday, 4, Jul
Mick’s band Thursday, 2, Jul

Thirsty? Extreme temperatures of 116F in Arizona can be rough on everyone, including wild horses. So please let them get their drink and let them stay in the river to cool off, by not approaching or disturbing them.

As you can see and hear in this video, there were lots of photographers taking pictures of these horses as they came in for a drink, and that doesn't bother them at all, as long as you respect them and give them their 50 ft space.

Please share our safe viewing guidelines and have a great weekend:

1. Observe a distance of at least 50 feet from any wild horse at any given time. If a wild horse comes toward you, please move out of it's way to maintain the distance. Horses may be trying to access water — please allow them to do so. They’re just as thirsty as you are.

2. Please do not feed wild horses. Feeding wild horses an inappropriate diet can upset their digestive system and/or kill them. When forage gets sparse, SRWHMG instates a feed program for them, so they are not hungry.

3. Do not attempt to tame or touch a wild horse. It is not good for wild horses to become habituated to people as they will then not respect our space, and that can result in their loss of freedom.

4. Keep dogs leashed at all times and away from the horses. Dogs are naturally inclined to chase horses, which causes horses to flee. They may run towards other people who are recreating or they can injure themselves on rugged terrain. Horses may also defend themselves and kick at a dog that is trying to bite their heels and that can be fatal to dogs.

5. Be a respectful observer of wild horse behavior, don’t interfere or chase or follow them when they are walking away from you. Each wild horse behavior has a purpose. That includes “battling,” i.e., stallions challenging each other.

6. Take lots of pictures, but please remember that the photo itself is never more important than the well-being of the subject of your photography.

7. Observe the speed limit on Bush Hwy and Goldfield road.

8. Bring a garbage bag and play a role in cleaning up the Tonto National Forest. If you love wild horses, pick up trash that might harm them!

9. Call the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group hotline if you see an injured horses or any emergent situation involving a wild horse.

10. Have fun posting your pictures on the Facebook Page: “Salt River Wild Horses – Advocates” where you are sharing them with other visitors and photographers.

We hope that people have a great time viewing wild horses, while at the same time keeping the horses’ best interests at heart. Thank you!

Thank you SRWHMG for these very important guidelines on how to behave properly when out in The Salt River Wild Horses Home.

They definitely need their water and can't imagine anyone out in this heat, unless in the water.

I love seeing them enjoying the water.

Great information to further educate the Public. I really hope people heed the recommendations 🙏🏻

Sharing these important reminders!❤️

Great post

Beautiful ❤️🐴❤️ post your pics at Salt River Wild Horses - Advocates

is there a best time of day to see them? thinking of heading out there tomorrow since we’ve only ever seen photos. would love to see them in person!

50 feet isn’t asking too much, a cell phone can take an outstanding photo at a 50+ distance! Thank you for the reminders to keep horses and everyone safe!

They are beautiful. Take care and protect them!!!🐴❤

My husband and I visited them often to watch their beauty 🐎

Thank you for posting such important information. It’s vital that the horses get their water. ❤️

They are beautiful! Glad they have so much fresh water to keep cool!

Introducing Makenzie Gleave, our Salt River Horse Liason with the Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA). We were checking on Mick's band today. They look pretty happy in their new surroundings. Makenzie has an extensive horse background and we think she is awesome. It's great that the State of Arizona is on board with protecting and humanely managing wild horses. Please help us thank the AZDA and welcome Makenzie.

Having fought hard for the freedom of the Salt River wild horses, it always plays in the back of our minds that there are thousands of wild horses who are not so lucky, and we wish we could do more. Salt River foals are running to play this morning, while little foals just as precious are running from helicopters in Utah. Congress is voting on the appropriations budget for the BLM at this very moment. Call Congress. They NEED to include PZP in the language.

If we can do it as the public, without any government funding, then the BLM can do it with over 100 million in funding. There is a better way. Let's get congress to see it. Tag your representative and share this video with them in an email. We support our coalition partner the American Wild Horse Campaign.

Keeping them wild and free,

Ugggh, this breaks my heart WHY this is still allowed in the first place in our country? The land of the FREE? How can they get away with this inhumane way to treat our wild horses? Please call everyone! We must stand together for these beautiful WILD HORSES EVERYWHERE ❤️🇺🇸🐴🇺🇸❤️

PZP works. It can help manage the Wild Horses of America if more people lobby the Government with the facts. The current system of roundups and penning are counterproductive and damaging to the herd dynamic. People who disagree with it really need to rethink their opposition to this humane form of birth control.

We have seen already how well pzp works on the Salts. BLM should take note.

Do you have the info for Congress that you could attach?

American Wild Horse Campaign just posted this (around 1:20 pm Friday) "We wanted give you a quick update about this morning’s hearing in Congress. Unfortunately, the House Appropriations Committee voted to more the Interior spending bill on to the full House for a vote without the amendment to rein in BLM wild horse roundups. We’re disappointed that the Committee turned its back on requests made by senior appropriator Marcy Captor (D-OH) and House Natural Resource Committee Chair Raul Grijlava to require BLM to implement humane fertility control and to ban brutal surgical sterilization procedures on wild horses and burros. The news is not all bad, however. The bill passed out of committee does continue the ban on slaughtering wild horses and burros under the jurisdiction of the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service and it rejected the Administration’s request for a budget increase of $13.5 million on top of the $102 million appropriated last year. The report accompanying the bill indicates that the Committee believes that the agency’s plan for wild horse management lacks sufficient detail and suggests that members will be working with the Senate on satisfactory language. This presents another opportunity for AWHC and our supporters to hold Congress’ feet to the fire regarding the need to force the BLM to reform its unsustainable and inhumane wild horse and burro roundup program. Stay ready -- they’ll be more opportunities soon to make our voices heard." americanwildhorsecampaign.org/media/house-committee-votes-hand-blm-102-million-round-americas-ico...

Thank you for caring for the horses. The above is why those who don't like the idea of pzp,, perhaps feeling it threatens the horses, need to really get to grips with understanding why it is used and what the repercussions might be if it's not used. xx

We tried and they refused to even change the language to make things safer! Horrible!

Just left a message for Raul Ruiz that represents California. He is a great humanitarian in our state. .

Birth control and natural predators are better

I would like to string up the ones who are abusing these beautiful horses. I hope justice can be done to help them live in their freedom.

Oh my gosh 😢🐎
