Here’s looking forward to a better future for our nation’s wild horses, one of freedom rather than pens, of soaring hawks rather than the terror of helicopters, of what they – and the American public – have been promised: Horses wild, always.
Here’s to our mustangs!
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
TJ, you sure have a way with words, I hope for the same. Peace and freedom for the wild ones!
With all that’s going on right now, particularly in Nevada, it’s hard to envision such a future, but that’s why we don’t take “no” for an answer … even when it’s given to us so often!
Amen to that!
Happy New Year, Billie! Looks like you had a great visit out to your horses right before the end of the year. Hope you find that mare, and I’m sure you’re glad to see Howdy again!
How often do the Spring Creek Mustangs get rounded up? I hope not often :]
From BLM’s point of view, it depends on the population number. The last three roundups were in 2000, 2005 and 2007. The last roundup took the population down to 43 horses (appropriate management level, commonly referred to as AML, is 35-65). There are fewer than 60 horses right now in the basin, so we still have a little cushion. BLM has told us the next roundup will likely be in 2011.
Hi TJ,
What a lovely beautiful photo of mom and her foal, and your words. I think your hope could be a mantra for all of us to say..to put out there to the universe and pray it comes back ringing true.
