While I try to get through this day, have a break and watch the Cloud Series, by Ginger Kathrens. It will help you see the beauty of wild horses. These movies by Nature, (3 in all) are a wonderful way to spend the day with you family, especially if you have children. Have a wonderful weekend. Thank you to PBS and Ginger Kathrens. I really appreciate Ginger Kathrens because she was my first educator in the wild horse plight from freedom to slaughter. I hope you will enjoy these movies, and all credit goes to PBS Nature and Ginger Kathrens. I am just sharing the education, the information, and trying to keep the faith that someday we can assuredly say that the WILD HORSE IS TRULY FREE!

WILD HORSE HUB CENTRAL
ALL THE PRETTY HORSES
I have not been here lately, as you have noticed. Since my health is a little better, I decided to look up some wild horse news. I missed this video. It's about Tom Davis and the fact that BLM was shipping the wild horses to him for free; his cost per wild horse: approximately $10.00 per horses. I just started watching the video. It's produced by Democracy Now. Laura Leigh is mentioned as the person who told this news agency about the wild horses. What followed is an investigative reporter learning what we all suspected: BLM is selling wild horses to Tom Davis for slaughter. Even after the fact of the investigation, this is chilling news. It's difficult to watch, because we know just what happened to tens of thousands of wild horses - and now, we have proof.
I recently wrote a letter to my senators asking them to look into the program that BLM claims is not selling wild horses to kill buyers. The answer BLM gave to my state sentaors was that BLM was removing the wild horses because there isn't enough room. And of course, the BLM denied they ever sold horses to slaughter. In other words: over population of wild horses is why they do the helicopter roundups at approximately One million dollars per round up; and does that include the $500 per horse they round up? I am requesting an investigation into these matters through my state sentators. It is apparent that most states' senators do not even know that the BLM has a wild horse program. I am not sure if most senators even know if there are wild horses and burros on public lands unless they are involved in the current push for fracking and mining on public lands. (As to the fracking and mining, most ranchers on public lands with sheep and cattle do not want it either; and private property owners are having to give up their property through a sell to the government or eminent domain. If they are allowed to stay, the fracking and mining is poisoning the water, land and air.) Of course, the wild horse has to depend on water that nature provides. If fracking and mining poisons the watering places, not only will the wild horses die - so will every other wild animal that lives on public lands and in all nature. But the point of this video is BLM "raising and selling wild horses to kill buyers to slaughter." My point exactly. The BLM is the only government agency that boasts it makes a profit every year; but they are complaining that the wild horse and burro program is costing too much money. If they make a profit every year (partly because they are suspiciously dealing with characters that are part of their illegal activity dealing with wild horses and burros - that is my opinion - and the amout of money that they are putting on the "books" is not correct. Just like the population counts of wild horses are never done exactly; they don't even know exactly how many horses there are. By the way, BLM is not the only culprit that sells wild horses to kill buyers who sells them to slaughter facilities in Mexico or Canada. The Forest Service is even worse. They can round up horses without the Wild Horses and Burros Act of 1971 to prevent them from selling every single horse and burro to any kill buyer across the country. The can sell directly. The Forest Service put them up for auction and after the sell, they have no ties to where the wild horses and burros go; neither do they account for the numbers nor the costs; they have no accountability to anyone. So as you watch this video, think about what has to be done.
My idea has been to move the wild horses from the holding facilities to states that have wild reserve areas and have plenty of grazing and water. There are several states that have not been polluted by mining and fracking. So far, I haven't heard yeah or nay from my state senators. We could really enjoy the wild horses, and dry up the kill buyers market all together. These horses, would have to be put under protection, of course. The wild horse, not counting the horses brought from Spain nor any other country, is indigenous to the United States. I thank you for reading the blog; and thank you for watching the video. If you can think of any way to help wild horses advocates and rescue operations who desparately try to save as many wild horses as possible at auctions, please do so. You can sponsor horses at rescue operations; you can adopt a horse, you can donate as little or as much as you can. Over 80% of Americans are against horse slaugher; that means that 80% of America could give $1.00 to an advocate who buys wild horses (to keep them wild), and then we could negotiate with the ability to find reserve places in each state to allow them to go free, as more horses will need to be rescued by buying them from auctions.
I appreciate your patience with my abscense. I will be back, hopefully, to normal (well, my normal anyway), soon.

WILD HORSE HUB CENTRAL
Can we make a difference? Yes. BLM took the care of the wild horses and burros when the Forest Service refused to keep their population under control (believe me, it is hard to make a park ranger remove a wild animal because that is his job, to make sure that wild animal is not disturbed by anyone); now tell me, who is to blame here? The Forest Service, under pressure from ranchers and private land owners who, somehow became the law, remove wild horses at will without notice to the public if they so choose; and they sell these wild horses and burros to the public at auctions. Worse.
What is the answer, folks? There are hundreds of thousands of us, and we still haven't solved this problem while Children 4 Horses (Declan) works harder than most people who have jobs...that is just wrong. Is it because some people want them to stay in the west? Where do you think the wild horses went when they migrated? I know we had wild horses in my state. I just haven't researched just what happened to them, YET. Once I find that answer out, maybe I can get my own senators to understand better just what the gov. has done in their attempts to eradicate the wild horses.
Well, there is more information out there. We are all trying to correlate that information and use it as a tool to actually drive our actions - to make things happen - to actually be VICTORIOUS! God bless our wild horses and burros on this Sunday and everyday.
I also found Wild Horse Annie's .org group and her story. It was fascinating to read again. You should visit the site, it's:
http://www.ispmb.org/ and Annie's story is under the "ABOUT" icon button on the left.
My neighbor's horse is a gray. I am hoping that I feel like walking that far to meet them some day soon. i would love to touch the nuzzle of a horse again.
Our friend, Valerie
Here is the facebook page for the wild horses of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, some of these horses were removed from the Salt River and put there during the time that Wild Horse Annie's first attempts to make a better world for the wild horses in the years approximately 1971 - 1980.

Remember, these wild horses are not going to be rounded up by BLM, but by the Forest Service. This means that ANY wild horses not adopted will be put up for auction; or they may just hold an auction. This is to happen in September of this year, 2013. This should give you plenty of time to think if you can go purchase one of these beautiful wild horses.

Here is the article in full:
The Bureau of Land Management is requesting public nominations to fill three positions on its national Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board. Nominations are for a term of three years and are needed to represent the following categories of interest: wild horse and burro research, natural resource management, and public interest (with special knowledge of equine behavior). The Board advises the BLM, an agency of the Interior Department, and the U.S. Forest Service, an agency of the Agriculture Department, on the protection and management of wild free-roaming horses and burros on public lands administered by those agencies. The BLM announced its formal request for nominations in the Federal Register (https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/07/02/2013-15873/notice-of-call-for-nominations-for-the-wild-horse-and-burro-advisory-board).
The nine members on the Advisory Board represent a balance of interests. Each member has knowledge or special expertise that qualifies him or her to provide advice in one of the following categories: wild horse and burro advocacy, wild horse and burro research, veterinary medicine, natural resources management, humane advocacy, wildlife management, livestock management, general public interest, and public interest (with special knowledge of equine behavior). Members must also have a demonstrated ability to analyze information, evaluate programs, identify problems, work collaboratively, and recommend corrective actions.
Any individual or organization may nominate one or more persons to serve on the Advisory Board; individuals may also nominate themselves. In accordance with Section 7 of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, Federal and state government employees are not eligible to serve on the Board, whose members serve three-year terms, on a staggered-term basis, with one-third of the Board subject to appointment each year.
The Board meets at least two times a year and the BLM Director may call additional meetings when necessary. Members serve without salary, but are reimbursed for travel and per diem expenses according to government travel regulations.
The BLM is accepting nomination letters plus resumes that include the nominee’s first, middle, and last name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, profession, educational background, relevant biographical information, references, and endorsements; the nominee must also state the specific category of interest for which he or she is most qualified in regard to the three vacancies. Nominations must be postmarked by August 16, 2013, to be considered for appointment. To send by the U.S. Postal Service, please mail to the National Wild Horse and Burro Program, Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, 1849 C Street, N.W., Room 2134 LM, Attn: Sharon Kipping WO-260, Washington, D.C. 20240.
