Dear Friends of Wild Horses and Burros, Besides advocating for wild horses on a national level and educating the public about native wild horses, we also save wild horses from BLM roundups. Many have been placed in loving homes and some are in our outreach program. We strive to keep the wild horses happy, healthy and well cared for while they grow up and get training so they can be four legged Ambassadors--sharing the message to protect American wild horses. Sadly so many people are prejudiced against WILD horses. . . They think wild horses are feral vermin that should be disposed of. That's why Congress allows the brutal roundups and the cruelty afterwards such as not providing shade and shelter to the captives. When we were looking for a place to keep wild horses no one wanted to have WILD horses on their property. They thought they were going to wreck the place or they just had drunk the feral vermin Kool-Aid. Finally we found a place. We have been keeping wild horses in our outreach program at an affordable San Francisco East Bay dry pasture since 2011. You might already be familiar with Blondie, Tibet, Val & Sol who were all at risk of going to slaughter after the roundups. At that time with 3 strikes, times horses are offered but not adopted, the BLM could sell them to kill buyers by the truckload—even the yearlings! After we put young, traumatized wild horses through gentle training blocks we take them to the nearby pasture so they can relax and have space to move around all day. At the dry pasture we feed hay daily. This way we are able to cut costs because boarding in the SF Bay Area is so expensive. We rotate the wild horses in and out of the pasture according to training needs and funding since we don’t have our own training facility yet. Land is costly in the Bay Area and boarding at barns is very expensive. This is why we need to keep the pasture for our program. The dry pasture with shade and shelter has been a safe haven for them for almost 4 years but we are at risk of losing it because Protect Mustangs owes money to the landowner. We are current now with the board but it’s money owed from over the years that is the problem. We are funded by donations so if the flow is low then the program is in trouble. The landowner has been very patient but now needs the money owed by November 1st or we will be forced to leave. When Lennox (Fort McDermitt roundup and slaughter auction rescue August 2013) gets some sponsors, we can bring him over to the pasture to be with the others. He has worked with trainers who have helped halter-gentle him. So as long as we can catch him, lol, he is ready to come to the pasture. The photo of Lennox on our website, www.ProtectMustangs.org, was taken 2 weeks after the slaughter auction. He had several horrible wounds from being shoved in the trucks with WILD studs who beat him up. Lennox had a huge bloody gash on his face above his left eye. We took care of him and he only has a subtle scar left on his forehead. Lennox hasn’t been outside a corral since the day he was caught in the brutal BLM Fort McDermitt roundup where most of the stallions and his family went to slaughter. The day Lennox comes to the pasture will be a beautiful moment—when we can set him free on 14 acres. It will fill his soul as it does for all the wild horses who come to this natural pasture. The 14 young Wyoming wild horses we saved from the slaughterhouse (WY14) will love it too! But none of this will happen if we lose the pasture. . . Please help with a tax-deductible donation today.

Our address is Contact@ProtectMustangs.org Please help the wild horses by making a tax-deductible donation and share this letter today. Rescued wild horses heal and thrive when they can live in harmony with the natural world. The pasture is the closest thing we have to offer them and it has shade and shelter. With elections around the corner, it’s important to keep sharing the petition for shade and shelter: http://www.change.org/p/bring-emergency-shelter-and-shade-to-captive-wild-horses-and-burros The captives were robbed of their homes and their freedom. The least the culprits can do is to give them shade and shelter. You can post the petition on elected officials social media pages as well as those running for office. Let’s keep the pressure on! Thank you for caring so much. The wild horses know they have helpers out there like you and are very grateful. Many blessings,
