Salt River Wild Horse and her Baby Saved from Canal Near Mesa

Its been an absolutely wild and crazy night rescuing 2 drowning Salt River wild horses from the canal! Even while they are good swimmers, they were drowning from exhaustion in 11 ft deep water. We have now transported both shaking horses to our nearby property to recuperate after their horrible ordeal. They have many cuts and scrapes and the younger one hurt her front fetlock, but they are alive! The Firefighters from station 206 were amazing! They handpulled them up the 15 ft high cement edges of the canal. After identifying these two as Salt River wild horses that came from Granite Reef rec site, we found out in our database that this mare is not really her mom, but her band sister. What a great sister she was, she did not leave the babies side and tried to shield her from the current. The reunion of the two after transportation was amazing. They will have comfort in eachother while they calm down and recuperate. We want to thank SRP and MCSO for alerting us, our vet from AZEquine for coming out in the middle of the night, and station 206 for giving it their all and pulling them out! Thank you!

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
