I just wanted to clarify Shiloh Horse Rescue's stance on our Wild Horses. (Sometimes our stance differs from Eric's. We can agree to disagree on some things!)
Shiloh Horse Rescue believes that our Mustangs should be left in the Wild, here in the West where they belong. We do not agree that they should be rounded up and sent back east. We feel the BLM has completely mismanaged and mislead people about the Mustangs.
As Sally and I drove up to Fallon a few weeks ago, we only saw four Mustangs out on the range. But we did see lots and lots of cattle and barbed wire. The hills looked healthy, green and lush for Nevada and the areas around the natural watering holes were full of tall green grass and trees. Of course, these watering holes were fenced off with barbed wire and the areas filled with cows.
Seeing the horses who were recently rounded up- they all looked healthy and in good condition. Of course the twenty year old mare who was "euthanised" (actually shot in the head), was thinner than the rest, as would be expected at her age. This was Mother Nature taking her course- not a starving horse who needed to be run miles and miles, rounded up and then killed!
Anyway, Shiloh thinks these majestic and beautiful animals should run free out on the range. What a horrible shame it will be if the only Mustangs left in the State of Nevada are on our State Quarter.
Mustang Rally at Red Rock:
Thanks to everyone who showed up to support our Wild Mustangs! Robin and Daria attended and I know other friends of Shiloh were in the crowd. It is important that we make our voices heard as we all try to keep our Mustangs free!
Here are some photos from the Rally:
Thank you to everyone and we are so sorry we missed it!
Lets keep our Mustangs free in the West where they belong!
