FREYA

Freya is a 23-year-old mustang mare who was dumped in a kill pen in Oklahoma right by Barnaby and Bella. We have been putting weight on her for the haul to Oregon and she is doing better. This beautiful girl was born in Hog Creek, Oregon in 1999 and rounded up in 2005. It gives us so much happiness to return her to the place where she was born, wild and free. We have named her Freya which means noble woman and it is the name of the Norse Goddess of love and beauty. A strong name for a warrior mare who we intend to restore to her wild glory. She is beautiful, and once her bones are covered with softness she will be spectacular. Her name is strong and so is she. #skydogfreya

Mustangs and 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.
