beth

We were at the BLM Corrals to pick up the last of our warm springs donkeys and saw this sweet pretty little filly who was going to be euthanized because she was club footed. Janelle our farrier thought with some corrective trimming she would be fine. We were distraught and reached out via social media to find anyone who might be able to take this young horse. She was from Cold Springs HMA and was adopted out once and then returned for being club footed. We didn’t want to leave her…

Whenever we need a horse miracle an angel appears. You just never know who could be watching and Kelly Reilly (from our favorite show Yellowstone) contacted us and offered to sponsor this beautiful filly to enable us to bring her home to Skydog. She named her Beth after her character Beth Dutton, and so far she is living up to her fiery name ❤️❤️ We are so grateful to Kelly and everyone who stepped up to plea for her to come to us. We came for a donkey and saved a young life - bless you xxx #skydogbeth

Mustangs & Burros Need Your Help

In addition to supporting our work by donating, becoming a patron on Patreon, or sponsoring a Skydog, there are several important pieces of legislation to protect American equines currently moving through Congress. It only takes a few minutes to contact your Rep and Senators and urge them to support these bills:

Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act of 2023 (H.R. 3475 in the House / S.2307 in the Senate). This bill will shut down the slaughter pipeline that sends some 20,000 American horses and donkeys to savagely monstrous deaths in foreign slaughterhouses every year.

The Wild Horse & Burro Protection Act of 2023 (H. R. 3656) This bill will prohibit the use of helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft in the management of wild mustangs and burros on public lands, and require a report on humane alternatives to current management practices.

Ejiao Act of 2023 (H.R. 6021). To ​​ban the sale or transportation of ejiao, a gelatin made from boiling donkey skins, or products containing ejiao in interstate or foreign commerce, which brutally kills millions of donkeys primarily for beauty products and Chinese medicine.
