I don't have any mustangs but I've had many ponies and then horses when I got older. There is something about loving these animals that can change you for the better no matter who you are. To be able to gentle a huge strong scared beast like a horse, it's almost incredible that anyone ever first thought they could. But to look at a horse and not see that little curve in their back right where a human being could sit and go, it's like a magnet, if you are able to love the animal and be amazed by it's magnificience, it isn't hard to see and feel the draw. Some people don't though. I don't understand that train of thought because I'm not one, but I do understand the fear of seeing an animal so much bigger than you and being afraid of what 'could' happen with those big hooves or being on top and worrying about whether they'll spook or run off and you can't stop them. There's a lot that can happen. And those of us who have trained horses, or even just horseback riders, have probably been through some kind of 'wreck' that they can tell about. Now my purpose is to save as many wild horses as possible because our government is taking out all the wild horses and letting the Bureau of Land Management round them up and kill brokers take them and sell them for food in other countries or even possibly our own country trying to make food-stuffs stretch for maximum profit. everyone has heard about them using horses for glue and dogfood. Of course that is not folk lore. It's been true for decades or more. Horse meat is a delicasy in other countries and kill brokers or just people trying to make a buck at any means will load as many horses into a trailer or truck and take them to someone who knows how to make lots of money off their meat. Who can stand for this? Who can even read this and not feel that tug in your heart to want to do something about it? Well here's a way to start.And you don't have to give money or anything. Just tell your local, state, federal government NOT TO KILL our countries hidden treasures, too well hidden that many people don't even know that you can see wild horses driving through the country and when you do, what a breath-taking scene it is. But it won't be there long if we don't do something about it. Please visit this web site and sign every bill you can find to make sure your state knows you care.
