The Bureau of Land Management (#BLM) is continuing to remove #Nevada 's wild horse herds from their legally mandated habitat, and the death toll is rising nearly every day.
Since the #roundup in the #AntelopeComplex began on July 9th, 11 #WildHorses have lost their lives – including five #foals who died from various preventable issues and four #horses who suffered broken necks.
The #BLM has captured 916 #horses so far, and over two thousand more are in danger as the agency plans to continue its #roundups in the #AntelopeComplex.
The Mane Attraction, don't let this sweet face fool you. She is a rodeo bronc. I'm not a rodeo fan, I''m the one rooting for the calf. I've been to 1 rodeo and that is where I found this girl. Some horses are bred to buck, others, that is just their nature, about 40%. Knew a horse like that. Sweetheart. but on the trail he got so excited, & bucked like crazy.
I butt heads with my mom A LOT. And over some pretty significant social issues. But I will be the first to sing her praises:
MY MOM IS A BADASS.
She's 79 years old. We ride horses together with my 10yo daughter. On this morning's ride, my mom's horse jumped a creek and she fell off. At 79. And she got right back up on that horse and rode for nearly another hour.
"She sent me home to find a reason to live, and I chose Icelandic horses. I signed up for a seven-day ride into the Icelandic highlands to a place called Landmannalaugar, with a departure date exactly one year in the future, figuring that by that time I would either be mostly recovered or dead." —Pam Houston for Outside Magazine.
I don't usually share 'products' but I got my T-Shirt yesterday! Quality 100% cotton shirt and printing looks great. Original design from my photos on the back. 10 colors in adult and youth sizes. Back to wild horse photos tomorrow :)
