Sharing a meal!

Sharing a meal. The foal crop of 2018 are coming of age..they are getting ready to leave their birth bands soon and it is cute to see the budding friendships and romances. Not unlike human teenagers, they are starting to venture out and make connections. These two youngsters each sneaked off from their band’s to have a meal together.

Some years ago we lost an important old patriarch of the river, his name was Wisdom, he was a grey, but not a dominant grey. He had many different color offspring but only 2 grays. One of them was unfortunately hit on the road a few years ago.

The other one is this filly on the left, she is Wisdom’s last (but not only) offspring, hence her name Wisdom’s Legacy. The youngster on the right is Centurion, who is a Sarge offspring.

Sarge is another important grey patriarch, but with a completely different bloodline. So these two would be a good match. Wisdom’s legacy has received pzp so that she will not have a baby too early, but who knows, maybe one day!

The meal they are eating is certified weed free alfalfa provided by SRWHMG, delivered by SRWHMG volunteers, and paid for by our amazing supporters. This is how the Salt River wild horses are getting through a terrible drought with no forage in their habitat.

We are so very very grateful for your donations, and Centurion and Wisdom’s legacy are too.

Humane management of the Salt River wild horses is made possible through a working partnership between the Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA) and our organization.

Thank you again and always, for your support.

SRWHMG.

We went through hours of footage and found some of our auction stallions in our previous records. They used to live way up high where the Apache Forest is not maintained and where they are definately helping to reduce the fire danger. It's ironic that what came to mind to say in this video was "these horses have the life". They were plucked from it, and while we were able to save these ones, where are the next ones going to go? From the most beautiful home, to homeless. The poor Alpine wild horses are the scapegoats for environmental damage the authorized cattle do. Like share and spread the word. #leavewildhorseswildWe will continue to document the Alpine wild horses and fight for them. Don't forget to click *see first* on our page if you want to stay updated. Thank you everyone! SRWHMG. ... See MoreSee Less

Update on our little Alpine family: They call out every once in a while still and look out to the horizon. We wouldn't think anything of it, except we know who they are calling for; their lead mare and mama of the colt, who died at the auction. But for the rest, they are acclimating really well and have lost most of their fear of volunteers and workers already. The lead stallion is just a doll to the little colt, so we have no worries about that. It's also lucky that the colt is old enough to make it without mothers milk, plus he has a great appetite, so he will be ok. Both mares are going to get pzp so that the family can stay together, so fingers crossed that they are not pregnant already! We are working on our fencing, and by next week they will get to go out and graze in some green grass. It won't be as beautiful as the Apache Forest, but it will be 6 acres of room to roam, which is the best we can do. We want to thank Simone for lending that space to them for free. We have not raised any funds for these guys yet, because we did not want to make anyone think that we wouldn't save them without the funds. We trust that once we add up the costs, that a fundraiser for them will get us back out of the red again. Thank you everyone eryone!! 💓 ... See MoreSee Less
