Check out this absolutely stunning continuation of Salt River wild horse genetics.

Making an appearance at the river today — the breathtaking, the spitting image, the bratty, but stunning Wonder is turning 2 years old this year, right after his brother Splendor turns 3, can you believe it?

You can see it in him already — the strength, the presence, the liver chestnut color, a legacy carried forward, an important genetic line.

This is how history walks on four hooves along the Salt River. They are a living, genetically distinct population — never removed, bloodlines never influenced by man, but shaped by desert, river, and centuries of survival of the fittest.

Our love for each individual horse we see growing up, runs deeper than the deepest part of the Salt River.

That is why, we will have to do whatever it takes to preserve, protect, and safekeep the Salt River wild horses. Whatever it takes.
