America’s Wild Horse Crisis!
The Bureau of Land Management has plans to round up 20,000 wild horses each year. Many companies contracted to round up these national icons use inhumane methods – – chasing them with helicopers, seperating herds, leaving foals without mothers and older horses to die of exhaustion and injuries. Band stallions panic and try to break out of temporary corrals. These horses suffer injuries, emotional trauma and sometimes death.
It’s our job to advocate for the protection of our nations wild horses and support the Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act in Congress.
The Plight Of America’s Unwanted Horses
Serif (shown right) is just one of the 200,000 unwanted horses in the United States. Most discarded horses are either seniors, those with chronic illnesses that need medication and care daily or have outlived their purpose. Many horses are seen as disposable, passed from owner to owner, or trainer to trainer. Many are subjected to either neglect or abusive training methods, or both. This causes heart-wrenching physical and emotional trauma that we try to undo.
Serif is none of the above. She is welcomed, loved, taken care of, and has free roam of our facility. She will make someone a wonderful companion and could even be part of an equine therapy program very soon.
