The White Mountain Wild Horse Herd

When Friends of Animals was on the front lines in Wyoming last month, protesting the abusive wild horse roundups that the Bureau of Land Management carries out on behalf of ranchers, we were lucky to have the opportunity to see what we are trying to protect up close and personal. We saw several bands of horses of the White Mountain Herd along the Pilot Butte Wild Horse Scenic Tour, a 24-mile loop that runs from Rock Springs to Green River.

What struck us the most was seeing the families enjoying their freedom and interacting with each other, playing with and protecting one another. This particular herd is safe from roundups this year, but the BLM is targeting them for roundups in 2015.

Unfortunately, we also witnessed horses who had been rounded up and who endure living in horrible overcrowded dirt holding pens, living in a state of perpetual boredom.

Take action with us today and contact Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and tell her wild horses on public lands should be listed and protected under the ESA. She can be reached at Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street, N.W., Washington DC 20240; 202.208.3100; feedback@ios.doi.gov

Day 16: Evanston, WY to Rock Springs, WY

Kody caught up to me with flats today—we are both even at 5. He got four flats in today alone. 7 feet after his first flat, I got mine for the day—quite ironic. Besides the flats, today’s ride was pretty seamless.
