We get a lot of questions about our fertility control program, and why we do it.
The reality is that we would have had 1000 Salt River wild horses today, if we had not started darting mares with PZP in 2018.

🧬 What is genetic diversity and why is it needed in a wild horse herd?
⚠️🏛️ Today, in an early morning meeting in the House of Representatives, we were reflecting on the important issue of genetic diversity. It was interesting to say the least.
Please do not try to feed the wild horses!
We will feed enough for every horse *legally* in approved, safe locations.

Happy 10th Birthday, Rosco
It’s hard to believe that it is 10 years ago when we found this tiny, helpless wet foal who had been left behind by his band.
It is Rosco’s 10th Birthday today!!
Abandoned right after birth by a new lead stallion , we could not leave him to die. He was our very first Salt River Rescue!! ✨ The one that started it all. ❤️
THANK YOU, ARIZONA
