WHY WILD HORSES ARE VANISHING

REPORT ON CLOUD; DANGER OF BEING ROUNDED UP BY THE BLM
The first week in June, Ginger Kathrens and friends went up to the Pryors to visit Cloud and his relations.

Here is an excerpt from Ginger’s report:
“Cloud has had a few changes in his family band as well. His daughter and grand-daughter, Firestorm and Ember, are now with the coyote-dun band stallion, Jackson. When we walked out to get a closer look at Firestorm and Ember, we had our biggest surprise of the trip. Cloud’s dun mare was with Jackson, too. Beside the mare was a tiny foal who took my breath away. She looks like Cloud as a foal, not necessarily in color, but in her lovely conformation and bright expression. We named her Windflower.”
Ginger also tells us:
“Our trip was bittersweet because of the BLM’s plan to remove nearly half the herd beginning on August 30. Many of the beautiful horses who grazed so peacefully in their green meadows could lose what they value most–their freedom and their families. The herd is around 195 horses (excluding foals) and removing nearly half of them would decimate their unique Spanish genetics and jeopardize their future survival. The BLM is going to be targeting not just the young horses but, dangerously, horses 11-15 years of age. This is Cloud’s age group and over 2/3 of the band stallions fall into this age category as well.
The BLM will not even guarantee that Cloud will remain in the wild.
We need to act now to save Cloud and his herd. Some of our supporters have suggested that Oprah should do a story on the current management of wild horses. If you agree, please contact Oprah here and ask her to do a show about Cloud and the wild horses. We need national media coverage to save this little herd and so many others that face annihilation.”
and in her P.S.:
“The third program in the Cloud series, Cloud: Challenge of the Stallions, will premier on PBS stations nationwide on October 25th on NATURE. We’ll remind you closer to the air date and soon we will have a sneak preview on our website too. It is our hope that these programs continue to share the beauty of wild horses families and will help to keep them in the wild for many generations to come.”
