Challenge ~ Explored

One of the stallions rescued by "Hidden Valley Wild Horse Protection Fund", a Reno, Nevada based advocate group ~ hiddenvalleyhorses.com/main.php

 

Virginia Range horses Rescued ~ round two ~ 2012

 

This is the first day in a safe pasture after being bought at livestock auction to save them from kill buyers! Kill buyers are those who bid on horses & if they win the bid, they take the horses to slaughter plants in Canada & Mexico. : (

The grease mark number & glued on tag are still on his rump from the auction.

 

The Nevada Department of Agriculture needs to stop removing our wild horses & sending them directly to livestock auction where kill buyers are licking their lips to profit on the flesh of our beloved wild horses! They really should work with local advocate groups to find them adopters or sanctuary. It used to be so, but currently there is not a working relationship with advocates & NDoA. : ( Many are currently being removed from the VIrginia Range, near Virginia City & Reno areas.

 

Stop in the name of love. Preserve & Protect our remaining wild horses in the West.

 

I named this one Challenge, as here he is running over to challenge another stallion. There are some more photos of him in my stream, alone & also with his contender, who I call the "Peaceful Loner".
