Freedom for Wild Horses Carol J. Walker

The BLM’s online auction ended two weeks ago. My personal experience tells me that for both wild horses and their future human partners to benefit, you need to witness the horses in person. How they interact with other horses. How they move. What is their personality? This is very important. An online event simply cannot offer this. We need to make significant changes or completely dismantle the program.
 
If you have ever wondered what it would be like bidding to adopt a wild horse or burro in the online corral, don't miss this episode. I also share my thoughts after going through this process myself, why I think it needs to change, and why my goal is to see reforms that prioritize the well-being of the wild horses being adopted out of the BLM's system.

I met Thor for the first time in 2011 when I saw him napping in the flowers on a summer's day with several families of wild horses, some of the wildest on the range. Immediately I thought that Thor was the most beautiful foal I had ever seen, with his blue eyes and distinctive faded Sabino Pinto markings. I would go on to follow Thor for the remainder of his life.
 
This week, I dedicate this episode to Thor and all the wild horses who were recently captured during the McCullough Peaks roundup. Tune in to hear about the impact Thor made on my life, what the BLM's plans for McCullough Peaks were versus what actually happened, and how you can support my fundraiser for the McCullough Peaks horses in honor of Thor.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live with Mustangs? Today, I want to introduce you to my “boys.” I love to see them running for hay, playing in the cool early mornings, or sleeping in the sun in the afternoons. While they will always be wild at heart, at least I know that they now have a safe home.
 
Listen in to hear the story of how Claro, Cremosso, Micah, and Helios came to live with me. Although I love them all dearly, I wish that they had been allowed to live out their lives in the wild of their home, and with their families. That is my wish and hope for all America's wild horses, and why I keep fighting for them.
