Preserving America's Wild Horses

Preserving America's Wild Horses

"Wild free-roaming horses and burros belong to no one individual. They belong to all American people. The spirit which has kept them alive
and free against almost insurmountable odds typifies the national spirit which led to the growth of our Nation. They are living symbols of the 
rugged independence and tireless energy of our Pioneer heritage."
(U.S. Senate Report No. 242, 92nd Congress, 1971)
 
(video) "Saving the American Wild Horse"
  a poignant documentary hosted by
Viggo Mortensen, Sheryl Crow, Peter Coyote, and directed by Emmy Award-winning Documentary Filmmaker, James Kleinert, examines the politics behind the Bureau of Land Managements (BLM) controversial policies regarding wild horses on public lands and questions the fate of America's Wild Horses and Burros, whose very existence is in jeopardy."

Photographers Pam Nickoles and Tamara Gooch are two of just a handful of wildlife photographers who spend time out in the fields and mountains across America to document the lives of these wild horse bands. They share a very strong passion for our wild horses and the desire to keep them free.

Many thanks to both Tamara Gooch and Pam Nickoles, for the use 
of their fantastic photos for my website project.

He still lives in the Pryor Mountains in Montana.. Cloud and his herd have been rounded up previously, but Cloud was released back to the wild, minus his family, to be free again. He has since built a new family and reunited with horses he grew up with.
