What Lower Grazing Fees Mean for Wild Horses

By

In 2016 the BLM grazing fee for a cow/calf was $2.11. Last month, the BLM lowered its grazing fee from $1.87 to $1.41. This further 25% reduction is a proverbial slap in the face to both American taxpayers as well as to wild horse advocates. Why is the rate going down, instead of up? Quite simply,  the BLM is a corrupt agency and is no longer pretending to work for the environment or the animals it purportedly supports. Lower grazing fees not only help support their cronies in the cattle … [Read more...]

Unfortunately, their financial situation changed and they were no longer able to keep Jesse. Hanaeleh always … [Read more...]

Ollie’s Sinus Infection

By

A few weeks ago we noticed that Ollie had quite a bit of snot coming out of his nose- it was reminiscent of childhood snotty noses and pretty disgusting, to be honest. We wiped the area clean and contacted the vet, who said to put him on some antihistamines for a few days as several horses seemed to … [Read More...]

Venus’ New Shoes

By

Last month we noticed that Venus was beginning to look a little tender-footed. We noticed an indication of an old abscess that had burst and some bruising on her feet. We assumed this was due to walking on the new gravel driveway, so we made sure not to let her walk on it. We also put some boots on … [Read More...]
