Old Man

July 01, 2018

The wild white stallion in this image is affectionately known as 'Old Man'. He is estimated to be close to 30 years old, and has lived his entire life wild and free in Utah's Great Basin Desert, in the shadow of the Onaqui Mountains. I traveled over 2,200 miles to see him, and spent an incredible day observing this magnificent stallion~ who has never lost his fighting spirit. But this fall, Old Man and the rest of the Onaqui herd will face the fight of their lives. The US gov't is planning a drastic roundup of these iconic wild horses~ but it's not too late to stop it. Comments about the roundup are being accepted until July 12th- PLEASE add your voice to help keep wild horses where they belong. In the WILD. Please click here: https://on.doi.gov/2lPaV0F
Also: if you are unaware of the issues facing wild horses, this is one of the best articles ever written on the subject:https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-cowboy-allies-say-all-…
And one more: A look at the numbers~https://americanwildhorsecampaign.org/issue
Ok just one more. If you want to be truly inspired by a wild horse hero, watch this video about Laura Leigh
