You occasionally see one & it’s the thrill of a lifetime. But mostly all you ever see is a cloud of dust after they are gone. It’s their stubborn ability to survive that makes them so remarkable ♡ ~Velma “Wild Horse Annie” Johnston So true about these majestic beauties! I just returned from a challenging trip to the Steens Wilderness, though worth every second! As always, when I first hear a whinny & those thundering hooves, my heart does a flip & then the first glimpses of these magnificent horses. I am then in a place of transcendence, another world, it's truly incredible! & to my utter disappointment, I found out while I was there, that the @mypubliclands are planning 2 roundups this summer. ***1- Hog Creek HMA, in July & ***2- South Steens HMA, in August I feel I'm constantly in a state of being heartbroken, for all of the Wildies of the world, & now bullet straight to my already shattered heart, to take away the ones, I feel closest too. -These absolutely selfish, money grubbing, & inhumane, roundups have to stop! What must we do, REALLY, to make it so?!? I would buy that basin in the Steens, or pay what the ranchers pay for their cows to be there, if that's what it takes... There has to be more we can do to help them stay free & stop the BLM! & I do write letters & such... Seems the ones who can stop this madness, don't care to listen... How do we make them @potus @vp Stop, Read, Listen to Us ~The ones who speak for the Wildies Freedom! They need to witness their family & lives! There has to be a better way✌️ • • • • • • #wildhorsepc #wildhoofbeats #staywyld #istandwithwildhorses #thecountryspirit #befierce #southsteensmustangs .                      #oregonmustangs #betheirvoice #staywild #wildhorsesoforegon #jj_oregon #youroregon #wildhorsephotography #ig_wildhorse #excellent_horses #eyetoeye #keepwildhorseswild #rawhorses #eugenecascadescoast #realoregon #speakup #saveourburros @secdebhaaland #wildmustangsforever #wildlifeconservation #wildartphotography #mypnwlife #imyourgirl #freedom #wildopenspaces (at Wild & Free) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce_-n3uvkab/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Repost @wild_hoofbeats @download.ins --- A gorgeous new foal in Salt Wells Creek, a Cremello curly! His curly palomino mom was very attentive last week. This little colt may likely be rounded up and removed with no opportunity to grow up in his rightful home because of the largest roundup in history this fall, targeting 5 Checkerboard herds in Wyoming. Rounding up and removing at least 10,000 wild horses this fall is not humane management, it does not follow science. It is insanely expensive and cruel, splitting up families and consigning horses to a life in a holding facility or worse being sent to slaughter. This must end. You can contact your Senators and Representatives as they are now considering the budget for 2022. #carolwalker #wildhoofbeats #wildhorsepc #wildhorses #raw_horses #curlyhorses #wildhorsesofinstagram #wildhorsesofwyoming #wyomingwildhorses #saltwellscreekhma #stoptheroundups #saveourwildhorses #keepwildhorseswild @secdebhaaland @potus https://www.instagram.com/p/CPhZVaDBFr4/?utm_medium=tumblr
