>>I take care of elderly and disabled horses as a volunteer. They're more human than a lot of people.<<
Then get your butt up here fast. We've got more damn Mustangs than we know what to do with.

"You get horses out there starving to death," he says. "They'll eat just about whatever they can to survive: sage grass, salt grass, cactus, even tree bark. We'll get them with mesquite thorns in their mouths. Once the vegetation is about depleted, they begin to move into residential areas, and that problem is made worse because people will start leaving food out for them, so they stay close to the urban areas."

We are entering the 5th year of a drought on the Virginia Range. Due to the drought, there will not be enough forage on the range to sustain the horses through the upcoming 2004-2005 winter.
Some of the horses will face starvation. Other horses will start to wander into populated areas looking for food. This puts them in harm's way. Because of this we hope to start our emergency winter feeding program again about the middle of September 2004.
Last year we fed about twice the number of horses as the year before, and hay prices have increased drastically. We expect to have about 20% more horses this winter (2004-2005) over last year, and our feeding fund has run dangerously low!
