Our SRWHMG Property Got Shot At!

September 25, 2018

This is not what we want to be in the news for! We are still in disbelief. Our SRWHMG property got shot at.

Yesterday, right after feeding the rescued wild horses their dinner, volunteers Tracey, Ryan and Bren heard gunshots.

They saw the truck on the Highway that was driving slowly, bam bam bam bam bam, firing 5 to 6 rounds towards the barn, the horses and even the kids.

Tracey yelled “duck, run!” Then right after, Bren and Ryan jumped in their car and went after the truck, while Tracey checked on the horses.

They caught up to the truck, that had turned into an off road area, and were able to take pictures of the license plate with the good zoom camera they normally use to take pictures of wild horses.

Because of these pictures, MCSO and DPS were able to apprehend the criminals. They matched the suspects guns to the casings found along the hwy. The suspects are currently in custody.

There is a bullet hole in our storage container, when you look at the trajectory of that bullet, we consider ourselves so blessed and lucky that it did not hit one of the kids, the volunteers or the horses.

The volunteers and the horses were clearly visible from the highway, we just cannot comprehend why anyone would do this,.. and yet that is what happened.

We want to thank MSCO and DPS for their quick action and we are definitely pressing charges.

Look what we have! Apache's band used to run in the Apache Forest but the ApacheSitgreaves Forest Service got rid of them and sold them at auction without limitation to slaughter, at which we rescued them. #shameonasnf We documented this band in the wild and that's how we were able to find them in different auctions and reunite them again. They are now proud mom and dad of their foal that was conceived in the wild, but born at our Prescott rescue. All horses in the video are part of the band and Apache is standing guard a little ways off. Without your help, we cannot do this work and therefore we thank you for following our page, for donating and for standing up for the Alpine wild horses! Now we have to go feed them and check on baby. Thank you! ... See MoreSee Less

This is why we are outthere warning people that they are still wild horses, and things can change in a second. Please dear visitors, stay 50 ft from the horses at all times, for their well being, and for your own safety! Thank you AZDA for helping to educate the public. Sidenote: Most of the public is great outthere, it's just the fjew, who tend to ruin it for the rest. Thank you to the public who speaks up for the horses also, it's fine if u do, if we all do it kindly. Let this be a warning that it will not be the horses fault if someone gets run over. Sincerely worried, not about the horses but about the public. ... See MoreSee Less
