HANNAH
Hannah was the 16 year old lead mare of Blaze on the range. When they were rounded up we tried to take the entire family to keep them together but sadly they were all sent to different facilities before we could get them. Hannah was the only mare of his who was at a facility who were willing to let us adopt her. We travelled to Idaho where she had been taken to an off-range facility in Bruneau, but was transferred to Boise for pick up. We are incredibly grateful to the BLM at PVC and Idaho for facilitating this adoption. Both horses were Sale Authority and only cost $25 each. Reuniting Hannah with her boy Blaze was the greatest moment for us as bringing families back together is the best feeling on earth. They know each other, they run to each other and settle back together with an entirely different demeanor and energy. We will never stop trying to bring more families back together even though it is very hard and time consuming to find them. The joy it brings back to these horses is worth every long night and bit of effort. Blaze and Hannah back together. Sadly his two other mares were sent to Long Term Holding in Nebraska and cannot be adopted out of there. They will spend the rest of their lives in Long Term Holding but I am glad they at least have each other.
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.
