"Save Our Wild Horses" Newspaper Ad

WBF Releases Newspaper Ads for the Horses of Sand Wash Basin

During the public comment period, which ended this past Friday, June 3rd – we created the above ad which ran in the local papers of Craig and Steamboat Colorado, encouraging the beautiful state to promote tourism for wild horses, not bolster wild places like Sand Wash Basin by building infrastructure for off-highway vehicles (OHVs).

These loud vehicles are loud, disruptive, and damaging not only to wild horses, but a variety of species that live in the Basin such as sage grouse. There are also fossils in Sand Wash that could potentially be harmed with off road vehicle misuse, and the risk of wildfires also increase with their presence.  For example, if a motorcycle is laid down improperly in the dry brush, it can incite a potentially devastating fire in the Basin which would be catastrophic.

We hope that these ads allowed our voices to be heard by the local community and the Colorado BLM officials.

We also urge Tracy Stone-Manning to do an internal investigation of the agency especially having released this statement (read it here).  The safety of wild horses and burros is clearly not being prioritized by bolstering South Sand Wash with campgrounds encouraging potentially harassing off-road-vehicle use in their habitat.

“The BLM is committed to the safety of the wild horses and burros entrusted to our care,” said BLM Director Tracy Stone-Manning. “Our gather efforts, handling standards, and fertility control work are guided by our compassion for these animals and our desire to protect their well-being, as well as the health of our public lands.”

Historical Evolution of Football Betting in the UK

Football betting is a widespread and popular activity in the UK, with a large portion of the population engaging in this form of gambling. The UK has a rich football culture, with passionate fans supporting various clubs across different leagues. This deep-rooted love for football naturally translates into a high interest in football betting, as fans seek to further engage with the sport they are so passionate about.

One of the key factors contributing to the popularity of football betting in the UK is the accessibility of betting platforms both online and in physical locations. With numerous bookmakers offering a wide range of betting options on football matches, fans have easy access to place bets on their favorite teams and players. The convenience of being able to bet on football games from the comfort of home or on the go via mobile apps has significantly contributed to the growth of football betting in the UK.

Additionally, the excitement and thrill that come with placing bets on football matches play a significant role in driving the popularity of football betting in the UK. The unpredictable nature of football games, coupled with the potential for substantial winnings, creates an adrenaline rush for bettors. The emotional investment in the outcomes of matches adds an extra layer of excitement to watching football games, making the overall experience more engaging for fans.

Furthermore, the extensive coverage of football matches in the media, including television broadcasts, online streaming services, and social media, provides bettors with ample information and analysis to inform their betting decisions. Fans can access team news, statistics, expert opinions, and betting tips, enhancing their understanding of the game and increasing their confidence in making informed bets. This wealth of information contributes to the appeal of football betting in the UK and attracts both seasoned bettors and newcomers to participate in this popular pastime.

Impact of Technology on the Growth of Football Betting

Football betting in the UK has seen a significant rise in popularity over the years, with a growing number of fans engaging in this exciting form of gambling.

The excitement and thrill of predicting outcomes and supporting favorite teams have contributed to the widespread popularity of football betting. Additionally, the accessibility of online betting platforms has made it easier for fans to engage in betting activities from the comfort of their homes, further fueling the growth of this industry.

Furthermore, the extensive coverage of football matches across various media channels has played a significant role in the increased interest in football betting.

As regulations tighten and responsible gambling measures are emphasized, it’s essential for both operators and players to navigate this landscape thoughtfully. Ultimately, football betting in the UK stands as a dynamic and engaging aspect of the sport that is here to stay.

This Week’s Call To Action

Unfortunate news has come out of Nevada’s Little Fish Lake herd. In a new report by the Bureau of Land Management, 251 wild horses are slated to be removed from the already microscopic herd, leaving just under 100 horses on more than 117,000 acres of public land.

WBF maintains these numbers are not genetically sustainable.  

We feel this is a path toward eradication for these horses.

The BLM plans to implement irreversible sterilization, IUDs, and other contraceptives to eradicate the remaining horses left on the land. This is the same land that is continuing to be used for livestock grazing; a leading cause in greenhouse gas emissions.

You can oppose this plan by sending a letter to the Nevada BLM expressing your disapproval of the roundup, as well as call to reduce commercial livestock numbers in the HMA.

Please contact Eugene Gilseth with the Nevada BLM immediately:
egilseth@blm.gov or (775) 635-4020

Rescued Mustangs To Run Free Once More

 

In an article released by The Bangor Daily News, three wild horses found neglected at a farm in southern Maine will be returning to the Western United States to gain back some of their freedom. These horses lack the human socialization that is needed to provide basic health care, so vets advised that they be transferred to Skydog Ranch, an Oregon sanctuary for wild horses and burros.  This organization does phenomenal work.

These horses are victims of a flawed federal system where many wild horses fall into the slaughter pipeline after being rounded up by the Bureau of Land Management. Due to being older, adult, horses, the BLM put them up for adoption for less than $200 each. While they were saved from entering the slaughter pipeline directly by the Maine farm, their unpredictable and untamed nature led them to severe neglect due to the uneducated buyers. Unfortunately, this shows that even wild horses adopted directly from the BLM with good intentions, are still subject to neglect.

Thankfully, these horses were rescued once again and will return to freedom in Oregon at the end of this month. To read the full article published by The Bangor Daily News, follow the link below!

Monty Roberts #istandwithwildhorses

WBF To Attend Monty Roberts’ “The Movement”

 

WBF will be attending Monty Roberts’ yearly event “The Movement: Happiness, Health, and Horses” on June 17th and 18th!  We will be joined in Santa Ynez Valley, California by a very special eleven-year-old WBF Youth Ambassador, Jocelyn M. who spoke out to save the Onaqui in 2021, rallied her entire Girl Scout Troop to stand with wild horses, and is featured in our upcoming documentary!  This special event at Flag Is Up Farms in Solvang, CA showcases demonstrations in natural horsemanship, wild horse gentling, and holistic healthcare for horses. 

Demonstrations by Monty Roberts’ show the positive effects of non-violent, gentle, training practices for both wild and domestic horses. Through his natural communication with these majestic creatures, he is able to create lifelong partnerships between humans and horses. His non-violent methods are commonly used in gentling adopted wild horses, and we look forward to learning techniques we can introduce to our own rescued mustangs.  We are proud to have Monty as a WBF Ambassador.

Entwicklung der Spielräume: Deutsche Casinos von gestern bis heute

Die Entwicklung der Spielräume in Deutschland hat eine faszinierende Geschichte, die von gestern bis heute reicht. Von den ersten Glücksspielhäusern im 18. Jahrhundert bis zu den modernen Casinos der Gegenwart hat sich die Glücksspielbranche kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt und den gesellschaftlichen Wandel reflektiert. In diesem Artikel werden wir einen Blick auf die spannende Reise der deutschen Casinos werfen, angefangen bei ihren bescheidenen Anfängen bis hin zu den hochmodernen Einrichtungen, die heute Millionen von Besuchern anlocken.

Wir werden die historischen Meilensteine, die Regulierungsaspekte, die beliebtesten Casinospiele und die sozioökonomischen Auswirkungen des Glücksspiels in Deutschland untersuchen. Welche Rolle spielten die Casinos in der Vergangenheit und wie haben sie sich an die sich verändernden gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen angepasst? Tauchen Sie mit uns ein in die Welt der deutschen Casinos und entdecken Sie, wie sich die Spielräume im Laufe der Zeit verändert haben – von den eleganten Salons des 19. Jahrhunderts bis hin zu den pulsierenden Glücksspielmetropolen von heute.

Die Geschichte der deutschen Casinos: Von den Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart

Die Entwicklung der Spielräume in deutschen Casinos von gestern bis heute spiegelt eine faszinierende Evolution wider. In früheren Zeiten waren Casinos oft exklusive Einrichtungen, die einen elitären Ruf genossen. Mit der Zeit öffneten sich die Türen jedoch für ein breiteres Publikum, was zu einer demokratischeren Atmosphäre führte. Heutzutage bieten deutsche Casinos eine Vielzahl von Spielmöglichkeiten, die sowohl traditionelle als auch moderne Spiele umfassen.

Früher dominierten klassische Tischspiele wie Roulette, Poker und Blackjack die Casinolandschaft. Im Laufe der Jahre wurden jedoch auch Spielautomaten immer beliebter und haben mittlerweile einen festen Platz in deutschen Casinos eingenommen. Diese Vielfalt an Spielmöglichkeiten hat dazu beigetragen, dass Casinos für ein breiteres Publikum attraktiv sind und sowohl Gelegenheitsspieler als auch High Roller anziehen.

Die technologische Entwicklung hat auch die Welt der deutschen Casinos verändert. Moderne Online-Casinos bieten eine bequeme und zugängliche Möglichkeit, Casinospiele zu genießen, ohne das Haus verlassen zu müssen. Diese Entwicklung hat die Branche revolutioniert und den Spielern eine noch größere Auswahl an Spielmöglichkeiten geboten, die von überall und zu jeder Zeit genutzt werden können.

Regulierung und Gesetzgebung: Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der Casinos in Deutschland

Die Entwicklung der Spielräume in deutschen Casinos hat im Laufe der Zeit eine faszinierende Transformation durchlaufen. Von den klassischen Spielbanken mit ihrem eleganten Ambiente bis hin zur digitalen Revolution der Online-Casinos, hat sich die Glücksspielbranche stetig weiterentwickelt.

In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten haben sich die deutschen Casinos zu modernen Unterhaltungszentren entwickelt, die eine Vielzahl von Spielmöglichkeiten und Veranstaltungen bieten. Mit der Einführung von Spielautomaten und elektronischen Spielen haben die Casinos ihr Angebot erweitert und neue Zielgruppen erschlossen.

Dennoch haben die traditionellen Casinos mit ihrem einzigartigen Flair und ihrem exklusiven Service nach wie vor ihren Platz in der Glücksspielbranche. Viele Spieler schätzen nach wie vor das besondere Erlebnis, das nur in einem echten Casino geboten wird.

Mit dem Aufkommen der digitalen Ära sind auch die besten online casinos in Deutschland immer beliebter geworden. Spieler können nun bequem von zu Hause aus auf eine Vielzahl von Glücksspielen zugreifen und das Casino-Erlebnis in virtueller Form genießen.

Technologischer Fortschritt und Innovationen in der Casinobranche

Die Entwicklung der Spielräume in deutschen Casinos hat im Laufe der Jahre eine faszinierende Transformation durchlaufen. In der Vergangenheit waren Casinos in Deutschland oft exklusive Einrichtungen, die nur einer begrenzten Bevölkerungsschicht Zugang gewährten. Mit der Zeit haben sich die Spielräume jedoch geöffnet und sind heute für ein breiteres Publikum zugänglich. Moderne deutsche Casinos bieten eine Vielzahl von Spielen und Unterhaltungsmöglichkeiten, die sowohl Einheimische als auch Touristen anlocken.

Heutzutage sind deutsche Casinos nicht nur Orte zum Spielen, sondern auch soziale Treffpunkte, die eine vielfältige Auswahl an Aktivitäten bieten. Von klassischen Tischspielen wie Roulette und Blackjack bis hin zu modernen Spielautomaten und Pokerturnieren – die Spielräume haben sich zu dynamischen Unterhaltungszentren entwickelt. Mit strengen Regulierungen und einem Fokus auf verantwortungsbewusstes Spielen haben deutsche Casinos eine positive Entwicklung durchgemacht und bieten Besuchern ein sicheres und unterhaltsames Umfeld, um ihr Glück zu versuchen.

Auswirkungen des Online-Glücksspiels auf traditionelle Casinos in Deutschland

Die Geschichte der deutschen Casinos reicht bis in die Vergangenheit zurück, als Glücksspiel in speziellen Räumlichkeiten wie Salons und Clubs angeboten wurde. In den Anfängen des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden in deutschen Städten wie Baden-Baden und Wiesbaden die ersten offiziellen Casinos eröffnet, die vor allem der gehobenen Gesellschaft als Treffpunkt dienten. Diese historischen Spielstätten waren geprägt von einem exklusiven Ambiente und anspruchsvollen Spielen wie Roulette und Poker.

Mit der Entwicklung der Technologie und dem Wandel der Gesellschaft haben sich die deutschen Casinos im Laufe der Zeit stark verändert. Heutzutage sind moderne Spielbanken mit einer Vielzahl von Spielen und Unterhaltungsmöglichkeiten ausgestattet, die ein breites Publikum ansprechen. Neben klassischen Tischspielen bieten die Casinos auch eine große Auswahl an Spielautomaten und elektronischen Spielen, die den Besuchern ein vielfältiges Spielerlebnis bieten.

Die aktuellen deutschen Casinos zeichnen sich durch eine Kombination aus Tradition und Innovation aus. Sie stehen für hochwertige Unterhaltung, erstklassigen Service und ein sicheres Spielumfeld. Durch strenge Regulierungen und Kontrollen gewährleisten die Casinos Fairness und Transparenz für die Spieler. Die Entwicklung der Spielräume in deutschen Casinos zeigt somit einen Weg von den exklusiven Clubs vergangener Zeiten hin zu modernen, vielfältigen Unterhaltungszentren für ein breites Publikum.

Zukunftsaussichten und Herausforderungen für die deutschen Casinos

Die Entwicklung der Spielräume in deutschen Casinos hat im Laufe der Jahre eine faszinierende Transformation durchlaufen. Früher waren Casinos in Deutschland oft exklusive und elitäre Einrichtungen, die nur einer begrenzten Anzahl von Menschen den Zugang gewährten. Mit der Zeit haben sich die Spielräume jedoch geöffnet und sind für ein breiteres Publikum zugänglich geworden. Heutzutage bieten deutsche Casinos eine Vielzahl von Spielen und Unterhaltungsmöglichkeiten, die sowohl Einheimische als auch Touristen anlocken.

Technologische Fortschritte haben ebenfalls dazu beigetragen, dass deutsche Casinos mit der Zeit Schritt halten konnten. Von traditionellen Spielautomaten bis hin zu hochmodernen digitalen Spielen haben sich die Spielräume kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt. Darüber hinaus haben viele deutsche Casinos auch Online-Plattformen eingeführt, um den Spielern die Möglichkeit zu geben, ihre Lieblingsspiele bequem von zu Hause aus zu genießen. Die Vielfalt und Innovation in den deutschen Casinos spiegeln wider, wie sich die Glücksspielbranche im Laufe der Jahre verändert hat und weiterhin anpasst, um den Bedürfnissen der Spieler gerecht zu werden.

Zusammenfassend lässt sich festhalten, dass die Entwicklung der deutschen Casinos von vergangenen Zeiten bis heute eine faszinierende Reise durch die Welt des Glücksspiels darstellt. Von den bescheidenen Anfängen in kleinen Räumlichkeiten bis hin zu modernen, hochtechnisierten Spielstätten haben sich die Spielräume im Laufe der Zeit kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt. Die Vielfalt an Spielen, das Ambiente und die Sicherheitsstandards haben sich im Laufe der Jahre verbessert, um den Besuchern ein erstklassiges Spielerlebnis zu bieten. Die Zukunft der deutschen Casinos verspricht weiterhin spannende Innovationen und ansprechende Angebote für Glücksspiel-Enthusiasten.

Highlights From the SAFE Act Hearing

 

On Thursday May 26th, 2022, The U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce discussed the safety and protection of wild horses.
The Committee reviewed The SAFE Act, an amendment to the Horse Protection Act of 1970 which would prohibit the shipping, selling, or receiving of horses and other equines to be slaughtered for human consumption. This act was discussed alongside the “Prevent All Soring Tactics” (PAST) Act that would enforce stricter regulation of soring, an inhumane practice used to create a higher gait in horse breeds such as the Tennessee walking horse. Both bills were strongly supported during the hearing, bringing good news to the wild horse community, as well as the equine community as a whole. The next step in the passage of this bill is for the bill to receive a markup before the full Committee. 

After what is hopefully passage, the “Save America’s Forgotten Equines Act of 2021” would shut down the pipeline that sends any horse to slaughter. This is an important milestone in protecting our wild horses, as once they are rounded up, many find themselves caught in this broken system, and are sent to slaughterhouses in Mexico and Canada. With this act in place, the purchase and transportation of any horses for slaughter within the United States would become illegal, stopping the operation long before horses are sent across the border. 

Katie Kraska of the ASPCA introduced the bills and requested increased welfare for all equines within our country; wild horses and burros included. Additionally, she educated the Committee on loopholes found within The Horse Protection Act that allow devastating practices like slaughter and soring to continue. These loopholes need to be closed in order to protect the country’s equines, and the only way this is possible is through the passage of these new acts.

You can show your support for wild horses by calling your Members of Congress and urging them to support these bills once they reach the Congress floor. 

WBF's Most Recent Rescue Horse, Wishes, at her Rehabilitation Facility in Texas

And Her Name Is . . .

Last week, WBF introduced “Wishes”, a rescued wild horse from Louisiana. After reading nearly 200 name suggestions across several WBF social media platforms, her new name has been chosen!

The Wild Beauty Foundation would like to thank everyone who participated in suggesting a new name to wash away her bad experiences (“Wishes” was assigned to her by the kill pen, and we wanted to change that with your help). Below is a list of the top ten names we loved most. It was so hard to pick from so many beautiful and meaningful titles, and we appreciate every single person who weighed in!

After careful consideration, there was one name that stood out.

“Whisper of the Wild”

The name “Whisper” was suggested numerous times and clearly resonated with several of you, including Kami in California – and “Whisper of the Wild” was suggested by Mackenzie F.

WBF believes this name truly embodies this special horse’s wild and whimsical spirit. And in less than two weeks since her rescue, Whisper already has a spark back in her eye, and is on the road to recovery. Thank you again Kami and Mackenzie for coming up with such a beautiful name!  These are the top ten names we loved the most.

Top 10 Names

1) Sekhmet : Meaning “She who is powerful” (Submitted by Justin M.)

2) Citana : Native American origin meaning “Star in the sky” (Submitted by LF)

3) Tikvah : Meaning “Hope” (Submitted by @from.th3heart)

4) Marion : Meaning “Star in the sea or sky” or “Beloved” (Submitted by Eleanor M.)

5) Shama : Sanskrit for “Peace of mind” (Submitted by Joan B.)

6) Liberata : Meaning “Freedom” in Italian (Submitted by Micky D.)

7) Tiponi : Meaning “Important” or “Child of importance” in Hopi (Submitted by Cindy C.)

8) Shai : Meaning “gift” in Hebrew (Submitted by Inna D.)

9) WBF’S Silver Lining : “Because you found her silver lining and second chance for life. And she looks like a blossoming silver queen!” (Submitted by Kimerlee C.)

10) Shyla : Meaning “White Dove” (Submitted by Rebecca L.)

WBF will continue to follow Whisper’s journey and will be looking for a very special adopter. To go along with Whisper’s rescue story, we will be debuting a new blog called “Mustang Diary” on our website in the coming weeks.

This blog will showcase stories sent in by those who have rescued their own mustangs. If you have a great tale about an adopted or rescued wild horse, please email hello@wildbeautyfoundation.org with “Mustang Diary” in the subject line, and include a paragraph or two about your journey. Please include any photos or videos that you would like to share as well!

Thank you again for participating in Whisper’s naming contest, and being a collaborative community of people who want to see the best for wild horses. We stand with you, and we stand with wild horses.

We cannot perform rescues for horses like Whisper without your help. If you are interested in donating toward the costs of her rehabilitation, please click the link below. Any amounts are greatly appreciated and will be put directly toward her care. If we exceed what we need for Whisper, the funds will go toward helping other wild horses and burros.

New Review of the Cañon City Holding Facility

 

New information has come out of the Cañon City holding facility after a recent investigation. In an outbreak report released by the BLM on May 26th, it was revealed that failure to vaccinate captured wild horses was the leading cause of the tragic equine flu outbreak. While the BLM states that lack of vaccination was due to the “unusually high-strung” nature of the horses in addition to a staffing shortage, a review by an animal welfare team showed that vaccination was not the only issue.

The review found numerous BLM policy violations at this facility, a total of thirteen instances of noncompliance, many of which involve basic horse maintenance. Along with a six-month delay in vaccinations, the review found horses behind on hoof trimming, freeze-branding, and deworming; all of which must be completed within 30 days of arriving at the facility, according to BLM policy. Other violations included unsafe pasture upkeep and nonobservance of BLM euthanasia policy. 

The horses involved in this outbreak were gathered from the West Douglas HMA in Northwest Colorado. These horses, rounded up by the BLM in August of 2021, have been in holding at the facility for almost eight months. Along with the West Douglas horses, many members of the Sand Wash Basin HMA are in holding at this same facility.

The BLM says that no horses from this famous herd were involved in the outbreak. This is likely due to prioritization of vaccination in this herd over the West Douglas horses. Due to the popularity of the Sand Wash Basin herd, the BLM knew these horses were being watched closely by the public. Unfortunately, this led to over 140 preventable deaths from horses taken from the West Douglas HMA; a group of horses just as beautiful, yet not having as much public recognition.

Fortunately, this review marks a step forward in protection for America’s wild horses. If the BLM is held accountable for their inhumane actions, future outbreaks and unsafe roundups can be prevented. 

Read the article published by The Colorado Sun here, and thank you Jennifer Brown for covering this issue.

Bible Springs Proposed Roundup

 

Last week the BLM released a statement, seeking comment on a proposed wild horse gather in the Blawn Wash HMA and Bible Springs Complex Area. Located in Southwestern Utah, the current population of horses in both areas combined is estimated just over 800 horses. BLM claims that the Appropriate Management Level (AML) is set at 80-170 horses which we at WBF maintain is a size that is not genetically sustainable. According to BLM reports, this leaves 62,787 acres in the Blawn Wash HMA and 223,000 acres in the Bible Springs Complex to be shared between less than 200 wild horses. To put this into perspective, that would be approximately 1,680 acres per horse. BLM’s Cedar City Field Manager reported that this roundup is planned due to “extremely dry conditions and drought, along with an excess of wild horses”. As you can see, overpopulation is not as urgent as BLM claims, considering the current population of horses allows for around 350 acres a piece.

To help advocate for these wild horses you can send a letter to the BLM expressing your concern and disapproval toward yet another unnecessary roundup. All letters must be sent to the link below by June 17th. WBF thanks you for standing with our wild horses.

Please ask the BLM to halt roundup.
Send your public comment in by June 17th to https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2018159/510

You can also contact the office of Gina Ginouves to express your concerns over this plan, and ask that Utah to stand with wild horses.

BLM to Reduce Pace of Wild Horse Roundups

 

Encouraging news finally comes to the wild horse community. After recent public polling that revealed over 80% opposition of helicopter usage in wild horse and burro roundups, the BLM announced a reduction in the number of animals it plans to remove from federal lands. According to a recent report by the BLM, the federal government is pledging cut their 2022 goal in half. The agency had originally planned to remove 20,000 horses and burros off public lands a year. With the new number being reduced to 10,000, we can only hope that this number continues to decrease.

The BLM also announced the expansion of fertility control measures to manage wild herd populations. Though there is still change that needs to be made, it is refreshing to see steps being taken to conserve wild herds.

Submit a Public Comment for Sand Wash Basin

 

BLM Recreation Plan for South Sand Wash Open OHV Area

The comments are closing for the OHV (off-highway vehicle) Proposal in South Sand Wash Basin.  Please send in your public comment!  Demand that funds be used to promote wild horse tourism to bring commerce into the community and great state of Colorado, not invite the presence of more off road vehicles into Sand Wash Basin.

These vehicles can be disturbing and dangerous not only to wild horses, but to the other wildlife in the area including sagegrouse who nest in the Basin.  There are also fossils in this area that could be destroyed with OHV misuse.

Please send your public comment by June 3rd, 2022 to BLM_CO_LSFO_Web@blm.gov and call Bruce Sillitoe out of the Little Snake Field Office in Craig, Colorado at 970-826-5000.

You can also contact the office of Governor Jared Polis to express your concerns over this plan, and ask for Colorado to embrace tourism for wild horses!

In times of darkness, we must remember to hold our loved ones tight and cherish the moments we have together. Wild horses are known to bond closely with members of their herd, similar to people. This touching photo of two McCullough Peaks bachelor stallions embracing each other was taken by Carol Walker.

This Week in Wild Beauty

Read the newest wild horse and burro focused headlines for the week of May 21st, 2022.

WBF Attends the “Save Our Wild Horses” Conference

The Wild Beauty Foundation Founders, filmmakers Ashley Avis and Edward Winters, joined a number of outstanding experts, journalists, scientists, media members, and wild horse advocacy groups at our nation’s capital for the “Save Our Wild Horses” conference. They brought along WBF’s fourteen-year-old Youth Ambassador, Josselyn Wolf, who presented a powerhouse speech to Congressman Steve Cohen on behalf of wild horses and burros.

Along with Josselyn’s speech, WBF presented several Public Service Announcements featuring footage from the upcoming documentary, as well as videos submitted by children who are taking a stand for our wild horses. These videos were played on a digital billboard circling the capital on the weekend of the conference. The first of several PSAs featuring children will be coming out later this week, so keep an eye out on WBF social media so you can share the powerful words of these young wild horse advocates. In the meantime, check out photos from the conference below.

A Letter Sent in by a Child in Support of Wild Horses

WBF and other collaborative experts had the pleasure of meeting in-person with Congressman Steve Cohen of Tennessee, as well as virtually with Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada, to discuss the necessary steps we must take to preserve the rangeland and keep our wild horses free. This includes grounding the inhumane helicopters used for roundups, further educating the public on the inherent value and natural beauty of these animals, and proposing humane plans to manage the land that our wild horses call home. Congresswoman Titus expressed her support of the conference and voiced her disappointment in the Bureau of Land Management’s cruel treatment of wild horses stating, “You know I’m a friend, you know I am always going back to The Wild Horse Commission in the state of Nevada”. Conversations with both Congress Members can be found on WBF’s official Instagram account.

During the conference WBF presented attendees with a special short preview of their documentary, “Wild Beauty: Mustang Spirit of the West”. To go along with this, they debuted limited edition art pieces from the documentary at the D.C. Art Show. These pieces tell beautiful stories of the wild horses that WBF filmmakers were privileged to follow throughout the film’s creation, and include “The Eye of Old Man”, “The Onaqui Trio”, “Windswept”, “The Sentry”, and “Molten”.

WBF plans to release these art pieces in first limited editions of 10-25 in the coming months.  If you are interested in collecting one before they are officially announced, please contact edward@wildbeautyfoundation.org

On the final day of the conference, WBF attended the “Save Our Wild Horses” rally on the National Mall. Here, Ashley, Edward, and Josselyn spoke with top animal lobbyist, Marty Irby, about the new bills being introduced to lawmakers by both political parties. This is an important milestone in wild horse advocacy and WBF looks forward to seeing these bills voted on soon. This discussion, as well as an excerpt of Josselyn’s speech live from the rally, can be found on WBF social media platforms linked below.

Colorado Governor Sends Letter to the BLM

Colorado’s Governor, Jared Polis, and first gentleman, Marlon Reis sent a letter to the Bureau of Land Management this week (read on Twitter). The letter urged the BLM to halt the round-up of the Piceance Basin horses until further investigation of the Cañon City holding facility can be completed. 

“In light of the ongoing Equine Influenza outbreak that has claimed the lives of 142 Wild Horses at the Cañon City Wild Horse Corrals, Governor Jared Polis is calling on the Bureau of Land Management to halt plans for the Piceance Basin round-up later this summer and work with Colorado as a partner to ensure more cost-effective and humane management of our State’s iconic mustangs.”

The outbreak at the Colorado facility, holding approximately 700 horses from the famous Sand Wash Basin herd, gained public attention last month after a highly contagious “mystery illness” spread through the holding pens. This illness, later revealed to be Equine Influenza, has taken the lives of 142 wild horses and counting.

The Wild Beauty Foundation along with many other wild horse advocates are glad to see state leaders standing up for wild horses. With their help, we can be voices for the four-legged animals that cannot speak up for themselves.

BLM Proposes Plan to Turn South Sand Wash Basin into Recreation Area

BLM's Recreation Plan for South Sand Wash Open OHV Area

Colorado land which is home to one of America’s most famous wild horse herds is subject to new recreational plans by the BLM. In a press release issued last month, BLM announced plans to bolster the existing South Sand Wash Open Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) Area. This comes after the roundup of nearly 700 wild horses from the Sand Wash Basin HMA in early September of last year, which nearly wiped out the iconic herd.

Not only is the wild horse population being threatened by devastating roundups, but the remaining few wild horses left on the range are now forced to share their habitat with what would likely lead to a significant increase of loud motorcycles and ATVs in the area. These vehicles can cause harm to the environment, and also can affect other species, such as the delicate nesting grounds of sage grouse, along with disturbing or destroying fossils in the area.

We must use our voices to question the BLM’s plan and stand up for the remaining wild horses that are now facing habitat destruction. We propose that the great state of Colorado should embrace the wild beauty that exists there, and promote global tourism to visit Colorado to see these national treasures instead of adding infrastructure to promote OHV use to an otherwise wild area. It is time to think bigger and innovate!

Demand that funds be used to promote wild horse tourism to bring commerce into the community, not invite the presence of more off road vehicles into Sand Wash Basin.

Please send your public comment in by June 3rd to BLM_CO_LSFO_Web@blm.gov and call Bruce Sillitoe out of the Little Snake Field Office in Craig, Colorado at 970-826-5000.

You can also contact the office of Governor Jared Polis to express your concerns over this plan, and ask for Colorado to embrace tourism for wild horses!

Wild Beauty Rescue

 

A Photo of "Wishes", a New WBF Rescue, in a Louisiana Kill Pen

On the night of May 19th, The Wild Beauty Foundation pulled a dapple-grey mustang mare from a Louisiana Kill Pen. This sweet soul is the victim of a broken federal system, where wild horses are subjected to slaughter rather than federal protection. She was transported to Texas overnight where she will stay with our partners through her quarantine period. Once she is rehabilitated, she will be up for adoption to a very special person.

A Photo of "Wishes", a New WBF Rescue, in a Louisiana Kill Pen

Until then, WBF is holding a naming event for this mare once known as “Wishes”. They hope to select a name that embodies her spirit and gives her a fresh start outside of the kill pens. Anyone who wishes to suggest a name for her is welcome to visit the Wild Beauty Foundation Facebook page or the Wild Beauty Foundation Instagram page and comment on the pinned post with her photo. As always, the best idea (with the most inherent meaning) wins!

Her name will be announced next Saturday, May 28, 2022.  WBF looks forward to keeping up with her journey of healing and are searching to find her a perfect forever home.

We cannot perform rescues for horses like Wishes without your help.  If you are interested in donating toward the costs of her rehabilitation, WBF has set up a donation page. Any amounts are greatly appreciated and will be put directly into her care.

A Quote to Graze On

“You can’t mend a world, but you can mend the hole in the polka-dot pocket of your favorite coat. They are not the same thing, but they are part of the same thing, which is all there is — life living itself through us, moment by moment, one broken beautiful thing at a time.”

Take a step back from what could be, and reflect on what you can do in this very moment. No matter how small or mundane the task is, you are working toward a beautiful future. Read more about how you can demonstrate this outlook in Maria Popova’s “The Marginalian”.
