Watch the humane management of the Salt River wild horses! Monday, 8, Mar
It is a beautiful day in the Tonto National Forest Monday, 8, Mar
BREAKING: click here to watch! Monday, 8, Mar

It is a beautiful day in the Tonto National Forest (TNF). Please enjoy Salt River wild horses responsibly. Here is some important information:

🐴When you see Salt River wild horses please give them their space and stay a safe 50 ft distance from them at all times.
🐕Please adhere to the Maricopa County Leash law and keep your dogs leashed for their safety (horses have been known to attack dogs and vice versa)
🥕Please do NOT feed horses, especially not carrots or apples, since that can upset their stomach. The Salt River wild horses all know where to find an approved feed station and they are not hungry.
----------
🛣You can find these free roaming horses at the following recreation areas off of Bush Hwy; Water Users, Pebble Beach, Blue Point, Goldfield and Coon Bluff, plus anywhere in between and along the river. Tonto daypassss are available at Walgreens and nearby gas stations.
🐴These wild horses are semi-tolerant of people (because they see thousands of humans yearly), but they are still wild and unpredictable animals that should be respected as such. When you enter their habitat, you do so at your own risk. Regardless if you are watching them on foot, by air, from the water or from horseback, please remember that you are in their home. Do not harrass them, chase them, disturb them, or interfere in their daily routines.
🐎🐎Horse back riders should also be aware that wild horses are not vaccinated against any disease and may periodically contract any type of virus or bacteria that could be transmittable to your horse (or dog) through soil, manure or close proximity. When you enter their habitat, you do so at your own risk.
-----------
👉The Salt River wild horses are humanely managed by the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group (SRWHMG), overseen and under contract with the Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA) and through an intergovernmental agreement with the Forest Service.
⚖ The Salt River wild horses are protected pursuant to A.R.S 3-1491, also called the Salt River Horse Act, passed and signed by Governor Ducey in 2016 and enacted in 2017.
🏞 These wild horses roam freely on approx. 20,000 acres of the Tonto National Forest (Forest Service land). They are fenced in and surrounded by civilization on all sides, but they are safe within their habitat, and all Salt River wild horses have free access to the lower Salt River.
☀️ Because of the persistent drought, SRWHMG has 4 feed stations in each quadrant of the forest that are supplied with certified weed free alfalfa by our hard working volunteers. The horses know exactly where these feed stations are. This crucial feed program is keeping them healthy through a difficult period with very little forage to eat in the Tonto National Forest.
🌱🍴Should you come upon a very large group of horses, you probably have entered a feed station. We ask that you stay on the outside perimeter of these feed areas and enjoy the sight of happy horses, but please keep your distance.
🐣SRWHMG also administers a humane birth control program in order to stabilize the horse population, which in turn affords the horses to stay wild and free. You may see our darting teams outthere in the field at any time during the year with a green dart projector, or air rifle. The darters are certified and follow a safety protocol for horses as well as people.
🦺Our volunteers work hard on a number of different tasks, you may see them fixing a fence, helping horses cross, closing gates, or giving out information. You may also see them treat or check on an injured horse. They always do their tasks under oversight and authorization of the AZDA and Forest Service. 👩‍🔧We ask that you heed their advice and be kind and courteous to them. Their jobs are time consuming and they do not get paid for it. You are welcome to watch our volunteers, and you are welcome to ask them any questions after they are done with their work. (However you should not interfere with the tasks they are trying to accomplish.)
---------
You can help keep the horses safe by:
⚠️Closing all gates behind you, because a horse that gets out, will be on the road and has no way of getting back into the forest.
🌏 Keeping the forest clean; pack out what you pack in and pick up some extra trash for the horses if you can.
🛻Heed the speed limit on Bush Hwy and Goldfield Rd., there are speed feedback signs and limits are strictly enforced by MCSO Lake patrol.
📲Please report any issues or injuries of horses to the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group hotline (480)-868-9301
🙏Please consider supporting the horses by making a tax deductable donation on our website or through Facebook. You can also find out more information or buy great wild horse merchandise and prints: Visit www.srwhmg.org

Have a beautiful day, SRWHMG.

So thankful for this inspiring news story, which shares the truth and the wonderful results of humane Wild Horse Management. This should serve as a template for other herds, like the completely cruel and unnecessary round-up travesties in Utah, Nevada and California! When you know better, you can do better. FOX 10 Phoenix, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this story!!

Wonderful news piece! Thank you FOX 10 Phoenix and thank you SRWHMG for the wonderful programs that allow us to keep these horses free.

Great coverage of this story FOX 10 Phoenix so proud of srwhmg for saving our wild ones!

Hopefully the exposure leads to better education and more funding to keep these beautiful animals in their natural habitat!

What a great story! Keep up the good work SRWHMG!

Thanks for all your hard work.

Great segment. I support you financially as much as I can!

There is so much I am grateful for their dedication of presurvation of Wild Horses in Arizona! This humane way of keeping the BLM from the Horrible Round Ups, which is Geniside I my opinion, it will make a huge difference in how Will Horese are treated! They deserve to Live Wild to Live Free! Thank you to all who made this possible! Blessings!💕🐎

Awesome! The public needs to learn that there are humane ways of controlling herds without the horrors of roundups and what happens to our American mustangs. 😢 Thank you for all the great work that you do!! 🙏❤️

I take HUMANE management any day vs. the cruel and taxpayer-subsidized round ups!! Please let them be, give them their space and respect them and nature. 💙❤️

Great coverage, and of course, I'm proud to help support SRWHMG

Nicely done... educating the public is necessary for keeping them safe, and the horses respected... hoping that the knowledge shared, and the compassion we give ours will spread to help other wild horses everywhere! Thank you all! 💓

Beautiful segment. AZ is blessed to have a group like this. Thank you for your hard work in protecting the Wold Horses. ❤❤❤

What a great piece and thank you to AZDA, USFS and SRWHMG for all you do to keep these beauties wild and free.

Great news clip

Thank u fox 10 for sharing the hard work , the passion the dedication that so many people put their heart and soul into so everyone can enjoy these beautiful creatures. The sight of these horses can only make one smile !!!!

That was so well done! Congratulations & Much Gratitude!

Great report! Thank you FOX 10 Phoenix for taking the time to showcase the wonderful work SRWHMG does with humanely managing these magnificent animals.

Amazing Segment!! Thank You FOX 10 Phoenix !!! And thank you Salt River Wild Horse Management Group for all the hard work & dedication !!!

That was beautiful. Great job guys. Beautiful horses

Beautiful story, but can you please explain why not allowing a mare to have a foal for a year is going to maintain the population for future generations? Why? I don't understand the logic.. let the horses breed and do their thing its what will preserve then for future generations.. help me to understand please...

What a great segment. Thank you to Fox 10 for this story

Wow, Fox 10 Phoenix great job showcasing this. I also want to say thank you to SRWHMG for their amazing hard work and dedication in keeping this american treasure alive in AZ. I believe you all put together the majority of that footage for Fox news to share. It was breath taking.

Fantastic success story!! PZP is so much better than horribly cruel round ups happening in other states. This incredible partnership between the state, the forest service, and the fantastic SRWHMG volunteers should serve as a blueprint for what is possible in humane wildlife management. ❤
