Proposal to euthanize wild horses spurs debate - Yahoo! News
All, when you consider your next horse, consider adopting a wild mustang from the BLM. I had the best trail horse you could ask for come from Nevada.
Vegas would walk, trot, canter, stop and turn on voice commands, leg pressure, or the bit. He was one of the best horses I have been around.
He was adopted out right after weaning, his mother was wild caught and he was born shortly after that.
We have a overpopulation of horses now, both wild and domestic. Those of you wanting to breed your mare,, just to have a foal from her, think carefully before you do. If you are not improving the breed, or just randomly breeding, you are contributing to the overpopulation of these horses. Think twice before you do, and consider adopting a mustang. If you get a weanling, they are no different than any other dometically bred horse. They do have an advantage of stamina and disease resistance that comes from good ole' Mother Nature's natural selection, only the strongest and best survive out there.
