LARK

Beautiful Lark was gently moved to her new friends Saint and Miss Hedy Lamarr. Lark can now go on and honor Bramble’s life by living hers to the fullest. Lark is an eleven year old mare from South Steens making her our 15th rescue from that herd and our 60th Oregon mustang. We do all we can to support the horses of Oregon when they get in trouble, have special needs or land in kill pens. We are particularly glad that this mare was returned to her home state after living for years elsewhere.

We truly want to thank the children of her adopters for reaching out and going above and beyond to get help for horses they knew little about. We were honored to help and wish it could have been for both Bramble as well as Lark. She also becomes the 50th bay we have at Skydog and what a poignant and beautiful addition she is.

So Lark welcome to a wonderful life and new friends and we are so desperately sorry for your dear friend Bramble. We all know he will be watching over you and has simply slipped into another dimension where he has shed himself of his pain and runs freely once more without bounds or restrictions. #skydoglark

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.
