Remembering all of our successes, who are living happily ever after 💗

March 10th

When a foal we tried to save doesn’t make it and breaks all of our hearts, it is important to remember all of our successes, who are living happily ever after. All of these foals pictured were teetering on the verge of death when we rescued them, but they are perfectly healthy and thriving adult horses today. They all have their own incredible story.

Rosco and Gideon were similar cases as Amora and also did not receive their first colostrum. However, we got to them in the nick of time to receive colostrum and plasma. Most of these foals were septic, and were at extreme lows with their hemoglobin, protein and white bloodcells. Some had bone infections and had such a low survival chances that veterinarians recommended giving up on them because of the costs involved.

With the support of the public we have invested thousands of dollars on these foals and thousands of hours of care for them; day and night, our volunteers never left them alone for a second until they were completely back on their feet.

So while we know we cannot save them all, we know we have made a difference for so many. We continue to give them a happily ever after at our rescue facility, which is their permanent sanctuary.
They are not riding horses and they do not have to please people in any sort of way. Our only goal is for them to simply live happily ever after together in a family band structure, – close to what they would have had in the wild. We could never seperate them, because they are extremely bonded as a band, this is why we do not adopt them out. Our volunteers love taking care of them and seeing them being happy is pure therapy for all of us.

But in order to continue our important rescue program we need continuous support, because feed, medicine, hoofcare, dental care and play toys are ever increasing monthly costs.
All of our rescues have a sponsor page. If you want to help us make a difference you can pick any of these rescues to sponsor for their monthly costs. With just a few dollars per month you become incredibly important in their lives. You can even sponsor a horse with your company or with your hobby group or organization.

This year we will have a big sponsor event at our property so that all of our important sponsors can meet their horses in person!

We want to thank the veteranarians that have charged us a lot, but have saved these foals and didn’t give up on them. We want to thank our supporters, even the ones who cannot donate but just give mental support. We want to thank the AZDA, the Arizona Department of Agriculture for their partnership and authorization to save these foals. Lastly we are incredibly proud of our dedicated careteam, who have done and continue to do just about anything for our rescues.

“The biggest purpose in life is to fight for what is right, and the biggest reward is knowing you made a difference.”
Simone Netherlands.

Make a difference every day,
Sincerely, SRWHMG.

We have extremely sad news. A beautiful young stallion was found with a severe compound fracture of the cannonbone. Nothing was left intact that could have possibly healed. Therefore we are very grateful that MCSO and AZDA were able to give him a quick and painless way out of his suffering. He was a very special young stallion out of Faith and Champ, his name was Loyal, and he was that in the true sense of the word. He was so Loyal to his family. He was still with his birthband and was helping his Dad Champ keep the family together as Champ is aging.We are so sorry for this sad news on this holiday weekend and we are so sorry for anyone who may find his body as it is close to a recreation site. He will go back to nature as meant in the wild. Please know that his life was truly wonderful and free, and that in the end, he did not have to suffer. Run forever free Loyal 💔We are so grateful for our partnerships with AZDA and MCSO. Please have a safe weekend everyone. Many broken hearts for Loyal, SRWHMG. ... See MoreSee Less

We hope everyone gets to enjoy the beauty of the Salt River wild horses this Memorial Day weekend. On weekends like this the thousands of people in and around the river can get confusing for the horses. Please be aware that when you come to recreate along the lower Salt River, you are entering their home. Please help spread this important message for them:Salt River wild horses are protected pursuant to ARS 3-1491, It is illegal to harass, chase, interfere, capture or kill a Salt River horse. Therefore please adhere to these safe viewing guidelines: -Keep a safe distance of 50 ft from horses at all times, even if they come your way. This is for their well being, and for yours.-Approaching or pursuing closer than 50 ft can be considered interfering/harassment, which is punishable by law with a fine and/or jail sentence. -Do not feed horses, this is bad for them and is also against the law. (except for the feed program by SRWHMG, which is not active right now) - Keep dogs leashed as horses can attack dogs and vice versa. Maricopa County Leash Law is in effect in the Tonto National Forest. -Close all gates behind you for their safety. - Trash kills. This is their home and it is your public land. Pack out what you pack in and pick up after someone else if you want to help make a difference. -Please report any issues of harassment or injury to the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group (SRWHMG) (480)868-9301 We hope everyone enjoys a safe and responsible Memorial day weekend!

Foal Flashback Friday. The adorable foal under moms tail in the first picture is the big grown stallion in the second picture, which is a screenshot from our app. The mares' name is Summer and his name is Monsoon. We name horses purposely in themes so that even when they are all grown and on their own, we can easily remember their parentage just by their name. We follow each Salt River wild horse from birth untill death and check up on each horse when we can. Both Summer and Monsoon are doing great. Monsoon is a lieutenant stallion in Orion's band. Btw we pray that this Summer is short and that Monsoon comes early! Have a great memorial day weekend everyone.First picture by GP Walsh Photography. Second picture by Destini Rhone. ...
