NEVADA HORSES ARRIVE AND GONE TO NEW HOMES IN 8 DAYS

NEVADA HORSES ARRIVED AND ALL ADOPTED TO NEW HOMES IN RECORD TIME! INCLUDING SOME RESIDENT HORSES!

First, I would like to commend the State of Nevada Department of Agriculture for making the decision to send these horses to us in Texas. We have seen many so called "horse rescues" or assistance type organizations feud and fuss over the care for the wild horses when in reality they block the very organizations that can help from doing so. While they were busy arguing over self-righteous pettiness and self-serving egos, we are placing these wild horses in loving homes giving them the much needed care they have earned and deserve. We have excellent press release articles and TV coverage that benefit both the wild horses and the foundation for doing a great job. Others should be ashamed for diverting efforts. I would personally like to recommend to those other organizations that if you can't help in anyway then get out of the way. Lead or follow but don't block the road.

With the help of our volunteers, we have done such a superb job adopting these horses, we will be receiving another shipment of horses in December. As with all our adoption arrivals and processes we encourage the news media, press, radio and others to come see history, be a part of history, protect some of the last remaining wild horses that brought us all from coast to coast without caring who we were, what we did or how much money we had. Adopt one of America's last true living historians, as our ancestors before us did, we invite you to help pass on the living legends that made this country what it is today.

Below you will see some of pictures of the Nevada Horses. We have gone to great lengths to ensure they receive proper care and nutrition. I would like to personally THANK Michael, Michele, Jarrett, Caitlin, Chris, Justin, Kim, Laura, Andi, Marshall and Mike for their unselfishness and generosity by helping us with these new wild horses. Without volunteers no one wins. We won, the Wild Horses won. We all won. A special THANK YOU to all the adopters who helped us help all these wild horses with great homes and lots of love.


The yearlings and weanlings make it down the run, stretching their legs.	A few 2 year olds make their way also stretching their legs. Where are we?

Older studs making their way into the separations pen. Right hand corner you can see TV crewman videoing the horses.	Boy, that was a long ride. I'm glad to be out in the open again.


Some of the younger horses make their way to the water and hay.	By looking at these 2-5 year olds you can say that they faired the journey and are just as curious about where they are.

This stud shows why the NDA has to intervene. With winter coming on up in the mountains, chances are he would have had a really ruff survival.	This mare is pregnant and very under nourished and has made the trip to Texas and already has gained considerable weight.

This close up show this studs ribs, hip and war wounds.	Just in case you didn't think horses could have a mustache.

It seems that some of the younger horses are holding there own.

This is another view of of this stud below, slim is not a word here, we put him on feed immediately.	Quick Silver has been low in the pecking order. Boy can he eat, he did not look up for three days! This is after 3 days.
Some early pictures of adopters and the pasture areas. Unlike Nevada we have plenty of green grass and all horses will make it through the winter here.

This yearling adopted and already you can see the stomach rounding with fresh hay and grass as seen next in next picture.	This is one of the adopters pasture for this yearling, plenty of green grass.

The needs of the newest arrival of wild horses are an important priority as are the needs of our resident horses. We have seen that their journey to the better lands has not been an easy one.

We would like to extend our THANKS to the Nevada Department of Agriculture for their support. As soon as the horses arrived the first day each horse has unlimited water and hay. After a few days we introduced 14% pellet grain. It is important for everyone to remember that while starting these wild horses on grain or other supplement that you take caution and start out with small amounts and gradually increase the amount over a 7-10 day period to the desired feed recommendations. You may choose to pour the grain on the top of the hay until they are use to seeing the grain bucket. We place the bucket on the ground next to the hay and grain. The average hay ration for a horse would normally be 5% of the total weight, averaging 50 lbs. per thousand pounds of weight, or about a half-bale daily. Make sure to free feed the hay until they establish a feeding schedule. Always have unlimited water and salt.

Please feel free to send us and of your questions on nutrition, care-vet questions or general training questions.
