Wild Mustangs reunite at Skydog Sanctuary

Horses helped build the foundation of our nations. It is a tragedy that we never took the time to really honor their service. A statue or a nice poem does not do justice. They should be protected and honored as the noble animals they are.

[@WalrusWinking]

I mean that's all people like Andrew Jackson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, etc. got. We treat animals way better than any other country on the planet. You ever see a police dog? If someone hurts that police dog it is treated the exact same way as if someone hurt a human officer. Because that dog IS an officer. The exact same goes for police horses. You have no idea what it's like in other parts of the world if you think the US is even remotely bad for animals. Hell, the national and state parks are larger than any others in the world and completely forbid hunting. Unlike at other countries, you ever go to Africa? Poaching and legal hunting endangered species EVERYWHERE. That'd be a felony in the US. These Horses ARE protected way more than you know, literally just look it up.

@@WalrusWinking So your bar is say, China where they torture and beat dogs to death to make the meat taste better. Our country should look to more brutal treatment of animals in far away lands to justify shortcomings in our own nation? No, the bar should be raised higher. Factory farming should be abolished. Beef should be grown in labs. No animal should have to suffer just so a human can have a burger. If ranching disappeared, wolves, pumas, burros and wild horses would not have to be "managed". I always chuckle at that word, because who is managing the massive billions of humans on the planet? A greedy predator that has killed 70% of life on earth.

You are right, there are thousands of acres I. This country for the horses to roam on. But, when the cattlemen who have grazing rights on. Bureau of Land Management land. The same grazing areas the horses live on. Money talks and it’s all about cattle. The horses reproduce one colt a year and without predators, who the cattlemen have killed off, the horse numbers are too high for the land to sustain them all. They round them up and have no place to put them. There is always the horse slaughter pipeline where hundreds of horses each year are shipped to Canada and Mexico where people eat horse meat. Our country currently has an excessive horse problem just like we do with dogs and cats and they ALL deserve a good life.

It’s a problem that’s more complicated than this documentary observes. Mustangs need a lot and let me say there’s a lot of land. Not all the open spaces are viable for horses to survive. And being that were such a populated country, those open spaces are needed for livestock. The Mustangs were not here originally, nor were cows or sheep. There were wild, antelope, here, deer, elk, and bighorn, sheep, or mountain sheep, whatever you wanna call them. A lot of times ranchers consider wild Mustangs, an invasive species, therefore they justify the slaughter. Growing up on a horse ranch, we rescued hundreds of wild Mustangs. I rode a wild Mustang for my entire life, and I love this breed of horse. They’re the best horses you can ever have. I hardly advise anybody who’s looking for a horse to train up, to go to these auctions and get them a Mustang if they can. They do take time to train. I don’t recommend breaking them, but training them is the best and you will not be disappointed.

@Antonia Sigafus - Actually, that's the profit monger's story. Mustangs are rounded up from our public lands so that wealthy cattle ranchers can graze their cattle on our public lands for free. They have paid off the government so they can do this... the lands that the horses are rounded up from are not then left alone, they are grazed by cattle which do much more damage than horses. Horses migrate and move, they do not stay long enough in one area to cause any damage, unlike cattle. Instead of believing the propaganda from those with money who have the money to spread false information, please do deeper research and learn the truth.

What people fail to realize is that we all own these wild horses and we all should be demanding safety and humane protection towards them as well as our public lands. It is a shame that every stallion captured is gelded. There are some blood lines that should be preserved and protected. Many former pet horses of various breeds been abandoned out west when people can no longer provide for them and the ones that survive have bred into mustang herds creating horses that are less adapted for survival in the wild and weakening the herds' unique blood lines. When we come across a mature stallion in remarkable physical condition we should have an option to preserve this stallion as intact for organizations and tribes with the land and resources to manage a herd of wild mustangs. Mustangs should not be considered in the same category as unwanted dogs and cats that are routinely sterilized. The mustang is a national treasure.

[@farmwife7944]

Supersmile330 Many genetic groups are descended from horses from several hundred years ago who were separated from humans by war, shipwrecks, or natural disasters. So I assume these are what your refer to as former pets? The pets of today that are let loose often die for lacking the traits necessary to insure their survival on the open range or mountain foothills or are are killed by wild stallions and protective mares as they remain outside of herds. Some of these wild groups are particularly impressive in their rugged traits, able to thrive on parched pasturage, hooves that stand up to barefoot lives on rugged terrains, bodies that develop thick undercoats allowing them to thrive in temps well below zero and yes, they should be preserved. They are not the hothouse flowers of many breeds of today. Some genetic family groups are already under protection, more should be. "To observe them and wax poetically" ? Well, I guess we do that too because even though we are down to earth practical farmers, horse owners, and trainers and also own several rescues we do indeed sit on our porch on occasion and observe them and wax poetically, as does every single horse owner I have ever met. It is not what drives us to protect the wild horses though as waxing poetically is something we just don't have much time to do as we work year round and have the responsibility of animals 24/7 on our farms and ranches. I am glad you asked though. Perhaps you should try and visit one of the Indian tribes out west or the Nations in Canada where herds of wild horses have fairly recently begun to thrive once again under protective laws. They will most likely leave you waxing poetically as would watching herds of buffalo that are once again reappearing as they are protected and encouraged to breed with genetically superior bulls (having the traits needed for best chance of survival). I will have to borrow your term, it fits so well! Thanks for enriching my language and sharing your thoughts.

[@xolitaire]

Supersmile330 they are rounded up so that cattle lifestock have more room. Its monetary gain, nothing else. Who cares if most of the caught mustangs die from stess, infections or deseases they never came in contact with in the wild. Wild horses existed for a long time, cattle ranchers with enough money are the new element.

[@farmwife7944]

Conservation groups that rescue these wild horses do much to raise awareness and needed cash to promote better management of our natural resources. The fact that they do not breed these horses says much about the fact that they are leaders in educating the public that herd management is not a backyard breeding program. Read back to the fact that we are farmers. We know about grazing rights on federal land, not some random private lands that horses invade, our lands that the BLM is supposed to wisely manage with out tax dollars. And again, yes, there are some types of vegetation as well as animal life that are endangered on these lands and need to be protected from overgrazing and despite bad press farmers and ranchers have done much in this area as stewards of the lands we use. We take this stewardship very seriously. (which brings me around to the ranchers who do not pay land fees and refuse to get off federal lands deemed under protection, i.e. the ranchers out west who seized federal parks and buildings to protest the feds demand for rent money and relocation of the cattle herds to protect wildlife, but that's another issue). Read my comments again. I suggest that there are stallions who need to be preserved intact. Their herds also demand protection which means selective culling. You do not understand land and herd management, it has nothing to do with sentimental value and everything to do with preserving a a unique genetic strain while protecting others under threat. Cattle herds are not under that protection but they do provide necessary funds from rental fees. We do the same for buffalo herds. Many are now used as private cattle herds utilized for processing as food, but other wild rugged bulls are left intact along with mature successful cows and allowed to breed, preserving their genetic contribution and also strengthening (health wise) the wild herds that are under BLM and environmental group protections for relocation. The superior bulls are helping to repopulate areas deemed safe for these herds, such as Alaska for instance but the herds are also managed such that if culling is necessary it is done but targeted bulls are left intact and returned to the herd or used to start new herds, smaller herds that can be appropriately managed. Yes, there are thousands of horses that can be rounded up and become pets, and neutered to discourage irresponsible breeding but the unique breeds that have developed in select herds need protection, just as we do for other forms of life under threat; the vegetation, turtles, wolves, wild buffalo, bald eagles, etc. Thanks for your interest which goes above and beyond what most folks with a professed interest in herd management display.

[@Supersmile330]

I hate how so many humans feel they have the right to prevent an animal from reproducing. An animals only legacy is it's offspring, which many people seem to forget. Once they are gone there is nothing left in the world to remember them apart from their children. These animals are something that needs to be protected. Animals are beings capable of sadness, depression and stress. To remove an entire herd of wild mustang from their habitat without relocating them to a suitable place should be a crime. They are an animal that deserves respect and protection. The Americas used to be home to dozens of large herbivores and grassy planes. It'd be a shame to think the mustangs would be wiped out for the sake of livestock production.

They then spread to Eurasia from America over the Beringia land bridge.

[@allisonjames2923]

@@GentlemanBystander Humans are the most virulent, destructive, invasive species there is. Horses originated in North America 35-56 million years ago. These terrier-sized mammals were adapted to forest life. Over millions of years, they increased in size and diversified. Horses got larger in size and underwent other changes to their feet and teeth to adapt to changing environments. From five million to 24 million years ago, a number of horses occupied niches to which they had adapted, including grazing the spreading grasslands. It was about four million years ago that the genus of all modern horses arose. The modern horse, known as Equus, evolved from the horse Pliohippus, which arose around 5 million years ago and was extinct by two million years ago. Equus occupied North America for the entire Pleistocene epoch, from about 2.5 million years ago until their extinction. Scientists believe Equus crossed the Bering land bridge around the beginning of the epoch. Some made it as far as Africa to evolve into the zebras we know today. Others moved across Asia, the Middle East and northern Africa, evolving into the onagers and wild asses of today, both well suited to desert environments. Still others spread across Asia, the Middle East and Europe, evolving into the true horse, Equus caballus. North America remained home to Equus species for most of the next 2.5 million years until they died out. On the latest evidence, that was just 7600 years ago. The new timeline suggests an overlap with human habitation approaching 6000 years. They were REintroduced, by the Spanish Conquistadors, back to lands they belong. They lived there for millions of years & their ancestors were returned. So how can you claim they’re “an invasive species”? From: Why did horses die out in North America?

He will also do just about anything for a carrot which he had never had before. It was the funniest thing watching him eat it for the first time. The BLM collects horses but also releases horses quite often. They won't adopt a lot of horses out because they're going back out to be released. Trust me once a wild mustang, always a wild mustang. lol If I go more then a few days without touching him he reminds me of his wild with all kinds of attitude but if I love on him every day he walks up behind me and puts his head on my shoulder and pulls me into him. He also always gives me kisses but I think that's more for the carrots. Lol

There are some lucky ones. You're right about that. And it's not just wild mustangs that get a less than good life. I see people with horses all the time that just make you want to cry.

[@faeryb0mb]

Hi have you heard of carrying capacity? it's the amount of life an ecosystem can sustain before it tanks. i suggest you look it up.

[@martimasters7704]

Yeah? Let's consider your logic - wild mustangs roam millions of acres and have done so for centuries. Enter the cattleman. Mustangs are removed from their homeland so cattle can graze. Horses are selective herbivores, meaning the browse as they eat. Cows are dedicated grazers. The methane produced by cattle farts has an impact on global warming due to their sheer numbers. So, please explain how removing a relatively small number of wild mustangs so that large numbers of cattle can graze has any basis in the idea that mustangs are overpopulated so the ecosystem can no longer sustain them.

[@coyritch7856]

If it were not for BLM many more wild horses would die. Those fortunate enough to get homes are saved from what could be death due to over population. Think about that! The horses are not slaughtered like many believe. They are very carefully brought to the station for adoption with hardly any big wounds. Small scratches occur even when you herd sheep around all day. I am 72 years old and breed and train barrel horses. Horses are my passion.

This is so sad. People don't realize what they do wrong. Imagine you were a horse running free. The whole land to yourself and your family. Suddenly you lose it all. Horses are the most beautiful animals that rhome this world. The minute you see them you fall in love with them. Horses don't deserve to be treated like this. Horses are not like any other animal that you see in this world, their hearts are as big as the universe. I love horses and I hate the way people treat them. I don't understand how someone could think that it is ok to take horses away from their family and their freedom. I cry every time I see animals being tooken away or being abused.

Goliath had excellent confirmation, he is a heavily muscled horse. I would say he's a Bashkir Curly.These horses have great endurance, strong legs that never go lame and are hypoallergenic for humans. They tolerate cold better than other breeds and are easy to train, very intelligent. Goliath should not have been castrated but instead used in a breeding program to strengthen the wild horses still in the wild and improve our own weeker horse breeds. Too many of the wild horses are fine boned and scrawny. The BLM don't recognize the contributions this horse could have made even to the Bashkir curly community who want to continue the best of this rare breed. The BLM should be dissolved, they dislike horses. Horses in their care are always abused

[@obiwahndagobah9543]

[@audreymuzingo933]

@@nukeiza The assertion is that raising cattle on the land is more important than the mustangs (also elk, deer, bison and pronghorn by the way). It's disingenuous to suggest frikkin VEGANISM is the purity test for whether or not you care about wildlife, since chickens, hogs and other agricultural animals don't need nearly the amount of space that cattle do. Even eliminating beef from your diet isn't necessary, but our demand for it is too great, and it effects a long list of things beyond wildlife. If we all simply committed to eating beef no more than once or twice a week, the benefits to the environment, the economy and our health would be enormous.

[@marinusdupreez161]

Wild horses are introduced they are not natural nor environmental friendly. If you would have nature restore itself remove the horses. The horses are manage and then some people do the emotional thing and blame the management. There are seldom an animal more destructive to an field than horses. They have no predator and there is no other way to control numbers in the old they were shot. Now they are rounded up and adopted to be domesticated.

[@Ju-lj5ff]

They are not good for the ecosystem as they were introduce. It's called an invasive species. They have to regulate the population, if it was any other animal people wouldn't be that touched. I know it's hard but there wasn't any horses in America before the Europeans arrived.

[@MattyDemello]

Horses are prey animals so YES they do have PLENTY of predators. Its brutal for wild horses. Mountain lions hunt them daily and all kinds of wild animals.

[@skibz192]

"Horses have no predator" ..that must be the dumbest comment I've read in awhile. A herd of horses, that by the way migrate or whatever you call it in english (they move around constantly), is in no way more destructive than cattle.. my god another dumbass claim. Like seriously do you even know what it looks like after cattle? And here comes the cherry on the top: "you would have nature restore itself" wow.. you know the horses are mostly herded cause farmers want more land for their cattle right? Has pretty much nothing to do with the ecosystem.

[@MichelleJosephLongFineArt]

Actually, horses have the same predator as cattle, elk, bison, ect. Also, horses are not more destructive than cattle; less so actually. Cattle forage way longer than horses do. Yes, the wild horses were most likely introduced onto our land but much further back than you want to believe. Cattle ranchers have shared this land for generations so why is it so important for it to change now. If they can't secure enough land to accommodate their cattle than perhaps they should reduce their herd size. The roundups are inhumane and unnecessary.

The BLM to these majestic animals is as the settlers were to the American Indians. They just came and took their land away from them and forced them somewhere else.

The ground, like everything else, needs rest too. I'm not surprised it's no longer "bearing fruit" like it use to.
