There will be no removal of young wild horses from the West’s most famous wild horse herd this year! Like Cloud, we did not back down. He would have been proud of all of you who contributed to this victory. So, thank you from some of the horses whose freedom you protected. Thank you from Okomi, son of Firestorm Thank you from Orlando, son of Garcia and

and Jackson. Bachelor stallion. Greta. Bachelor battling to win mares. Thank you from Quintasket, daughter of Thank you from Rio (lft) (Garay & Jacinta),

Duke & Hopi. In Horizon's Band. Quahneah (rt) ( Baja & Washakie). Thank you from Outlaw Lady, in Knight's Thank you from Reverie, daughter of Hataalii

Band with her friend Encore. and Morning Star (deceased). Barely 1 yr old. Your donations made it possible for us to hire an outstanding law firm and to make a compelling case. (Read Ginger's declaration) And it didn’t hurt to have the expertise of those of you who read the documents and pointed out deficiencies in BLM’s Environmental Assessment and Record of Decision. Thanks to you all!



We hope that this victory for the Pryor Wild Horse Herd (Read Judge's Ruling) might help to protect other small herds in the West, many of whom are managed at disastrously low

levels—below the genetic minimums of 150-200 animals.

Happy Trails!

Ginger
