We care about all wild horses, they are all Shadowfaxes and Moonshadows and Soldiers and Bubbles. They all love their families and their freedom so fiercely and are treated so cruelly. It is why we’ve fought so hard to make a difference!

Our government by doing this the wrong way for a very long time, is losing our public trust and our respect, which causes even more unrest than we already have in our world today. It is detrimental because this, this is NOT who we are as Americans. This is the year 2022 and there are better ways.

So just be sure you vote for legislators who will stand behind humane management of our American icons. It does not matter if you are Republican or Democrat because this is not a partisan issue. There are legislators on both sides that are paying attention and doing the right thing. Write to YOUR legislator and ask if they support humane management for wild horses or cruel roundups. We will keep you informed because we are asking all of the ones up for election and re election.

VOTE for humane management. (No arguments please about which government has been worse, because it’s been terrible for 50 years)

There are better ways…SRWHMG.

Approximately 150 wild horses from the Piceance Basin HMA outside of Meeker, Colorado lost their freedom today.

Despite calls from Governor Jared Polis and Congressman Joe Neguse to delay the roundup and work with stakeholders to implement more humane solutions — the BLM proceeded.

It awarded a $500,000+ taxpayer funded contract to Cattoor Livestock, and will send more than 800 of these beautiful icons to a holding facility in Axtell, Utah where the BLM has been found to be noncompliant with biosecurity measures, handling and facility design. Their fate is unknown and we can only hope that we won’t have another Cañon City repeat.

One of the Basin’s most popular stallions, known as JR, tried several times to evade the low flying helicopters and get his family to safety. We watched as his youngest, a 3 week old foal known as Elote, was stampeded in temperatures that reached 98 degrees. JR’s entire family were caught in the trap. He is now alone on public lands.

Enjoying the cool mornings? They do too.In the Tonto National Forest, you can stumble upon a band of wild horses like this. None of these horses are sick, they are just sleeping. Please let wild horses take their naps.If you are careful and quiet, you can take pictures like this, without ever disturbing them. This photographer is an SRWHMG volunteer in the field. Our volunteers stick to the 50 ft guideline and often more, in order not to disturb: the horses never got up. If they do get up, you know you've disturbed them. Anytime they look directly at you, you know you've disturbed them, even if in a small way. If everyone who comes across the Salt River horses disturbs them in their natural behavior, they'll never have a minutes rest. Please enjoy watching the horses while adhering to these 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 closer than 50 ft can be interfering/harrassment, 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) - 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. -when riding horses in the forest it is even easier to disturb them. Also horses can have any disease/virus/bacteria, that may be contagious to domestic horses. Please ride at your own risk.- Trash kills. This is their home and it is your public lands. Pack out what you pack in and pick up after someone else to help make a difference. -Please report any issues of injuries or harrassment or broken fences to the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group (SRWHMG) Thank You. SRWHMG. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit www.srwhmg.org ... See MoreSee Less

Our pretty boy Diamond (Saphire x Shadowfax) needed rescue after he ripped his hoof off in a cattleguard at Butcher Jones. While euthanasia was recommended, we stubbornly refused, and instead, we gave him the very best chance to prove to everyone that wild horses are absolutely miraculous in healing themselves. He sure did that! While no expert or veteranarian believed it would happen, he grew an entirely new hoof that looks normal. (Ofcourse it took months and months of daily care on our part) However, the coffin bone is still only half a coffin bone and it is pointed down and sideways (see his most recent xrays). Because he does get uncomfortable sometimes, we give him the very best of hoofcare and very special aluminum shoes. It is a lifelong commitment to making him as comfortable as possible and give him a quality life with his buddies Rosco and Pacman. We can only provide quality care like this, because we try to find sponsors for their care.However, ever since the pandemic, many sponsors have canceled their monthly support and we just rescued even more wild horses from the Alpine herd. Our sponsorships don't have a minimum like the big organizations with spots on tv. We don't spend money on advertising. Therefore you can sponsor Diamond, or any other rescue, for the price of a cup of coffee per month, or for the price of a manicure per month, that doesnt matter. What matters is not how much, but just the act of really doing it, and becoming our sponsor. What matters is knowing that you make a difference. We need sponsors badly to continue to do what we do best; which is treating wild horses humanely, both in the wild and in our care. Thank you so much to our existing sponsors and donors! Let's continue to go the extra mile for wild horses everywhere! Gratefully, SRWHMGClick here:"Sponsor Diamond - Salt River Wild Horse Management Group" saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup.org/sponsor-diamond/ ... See MoreSee Less

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
