Bumblebee needs your Help! Please read!!
This is by far the coolest horse I have ever had the opportunity to train. She has quickly turned into my favorite horse out of our entire herd.
Bumblebee was originally Wild or a “mustang” running with the Divide Basin Herd. The BLM has proposed a complete extermination of not only her herd, but the Salt Wells and the Adobe Town herd as well. These horse herds call the top of the Red Desert in south-central Wyoming home.
While strategic gathers and adoption of these wild horses is critical to their survival, a complete extermination of these herds is unprecedented and unheard of. It would be tragic lost to part of Wyoming’s living history and heritage.
Wyomings wild horse herds tell the tale of the American West all the way back to the 1500’s when the conquistadors first brought horses back to North America from Spain. Horses originally evolved in the American West during the Pleistocene era, also know as the ice age. Until large predators like cave bears and saber tooth tigers pushed them across the Bering Sea land bridge to Eurasia and they became extinct in North America.
Wild Horses are part of our living history. In the USA we don’t have museums with famous paintings like the Mona Lisa, or the Roman colosseum. But we do have expansive, breathtaking, undeveloped, public lands filled with large herds of wildlife. Don’t let the Divide Basin, Adobe Town, and Salt Wells herd disappear forever!
Public lands are “OUR” lands. We have a voice that counts in decisions regarding their management. Speak out against this terrible idea proposed by the BLM and let your voice be heard!
Go to the BLM’s website (listed below) click on the green “Participate Now” button on the left side of your screen. Let our representatives know that you do not want to see these herds to disappear from our living history!
