With heavy heart, I must tell you that Marjorie Morningstar left us. She was 33yo. Quite honestly, I think she just didn't want to be without her soulmate, Violet, who passed a few weeks ago. Their bond ran deeper than I can find the words to describe.

In the wild, mothers leave #foals that are too weak to stand or travel with their family. Abandoning a premature baby saves the rest of the band from danger. Majesty’s natural instincts tell her to do this. She is comforted by Precious while Wee Fergus is cared for at the clinic.

1st touches with Wyatt reveal he’s a love bug. We shaved his brand to learn he is 20yo from New Mexico. Adopted when he was young, he was seized back by the BLM, then readopted. Judging by his feet, he was neglected quite a while before being sold into the slaughter pipeline.

His name is MOONBEAM! Thank you for all the wonderful, cute, and clever names suggested for this little #burro. We rescued him with his mama, Sunbeam, Comet, Bess and Bumblebee (Bee). As soon as he's cleared for travel, they will come to Oregon to live wild and free.

1/ The Wyoming Mustang Institute recorded this video of Saffron in the Red Desert on Aug 30, 2026. She was moving around and interacting with her family. She is the cremello filly whom the BLM shot at the trap for having blue eyes, which they erroneously equate with blindness.

Darling little Fergus is out of the hospital and home with mama Mouse. He’s so friendly, soft and fluffy. I have to admit there were tears when I finally got to meet him. He has no idea how different his life is from a normal foal’s and accepts it all with grace and kindness.

How do you find #wildhorses to feed them on a 9000-acre #ranch? They magically appear when they hear the Polaris motor to make sure they don't miss a meal! Many of the #wildmustangs in this group were saved from kill pens. We hope to add at least two more to this #Skydog #herd.

The utterly amazing thing about #burros is how quickly they accept and love once they feel safe. It's one of the reasons it hurts my heart to know how badly they are treated, not just in this country by roundups, holding, and kill pens, but around the world.

Sunbeam gave birth in quarantine to a beautiful little boy. The vet has already seen him. His levels are perfect, he is nursing, got his colostrum, and is perfectly healthy. I can’t stop crying with joy. Help us pick a name for him in comments. #foal #burro #baby

Wee Fergus still isn't strong enough to walk all the way to his grassy enclosure. To keep him from over-using his tendons (as they're still quite lax) the vets give him a ride. He enjoys this as much as he does the sunshine and green grass with his new mom, Mouse.

Steve arrived and made fast friends with Elwood. We are managing their different dietary needs so they can be together. The comfort of mutual grooming. The joy of having space to gallop and kick. The squeal & stomp ritual when meeting new #horses over the fence. #rescuedoneright

The essence of unbridled joy: Sheldon returning to his herd after time in the barn eating extra calories to reach a good winter weight. A celebratory buck, squeals, sniffs, sharing breath, and running with the many #wildhorse #rescues he has welcomed into his family at #Skydog.

Maverick - a #quarterhorse, not a #mustang - was left here by a ranch hand and joined a wild herd. With a seahorse blaze, he’s still got some great moves for a 30yo. He was delighted when treatment for a skin infection ended so he could leave the barn and go back to his friends.

Sovereign was too scared to load during evacuation from the #PalisadesFire. Teen volunteer Kalyna Fedorowycz, who’s known & loved him her whole life, rode & led him 14 miles out of a burning canyon for 4-5 hours. Her Dad drove behind. Bless this heroic horse girl @soulseedsforall

2/ Bend Equine put out a call for a nurse mare. A kind, very selfless lady answered. She was about to wean her yearling from a #mare, Mouse, who was still in milk. She brought her to the vet yesterday. They connected immediately and wee Fergus understood the assignment.

Slate & Dune were turned out to meet Apollo’s #wildhorse herd. Slate rejected the best efforts to domesticate him. Dune is not a fan of being handled by humans. With Wilson as their guide into #Skydog #wild, their dreams of #freedom have come true.

This is Stetson, our #PMU ambassador against the use of #Premarin for hot flashes in menopausal women. To produce it, #mares are kept permanently pregnant until discarded exhausted. Their foals are killed or sent for slaughter unless they are rescued, like this beautiful boy.

Sundance taking a cool dip in the pond, loving life. He was caught running down Klamath Falls HWY after he escaped from his adopter, who starved him. He had some training, but wasn't happy, so we said yes to bringing him to #Skydog. #wildhorse

Bruce was happy to arrive at Skydog in Santa Ynez, which is for older horses - he’s around 30 - and those with special needs. Bailey gave him an enthusiastic welcome to his new home where seniors Beau and Mr. Parker introduced themselves. Thank you #GivingTuesday2025 donors!

Beautiful Comet unloads first. Little Moonbeam literally follows in his mum’s hoofsteps and leaps off the trailer. He is so eager to explore his new world. His mama and aunt can relax. They are safe and sound. They are home. We love them so much!

Old Violet & Marjorie Morningstar survived years of neglect. After starvation, #horses often overeat to compensate. Knowing #winter is coming, they’ve been growing winter coats and piling on the pounds! We’ve put them on a healthy equine weight watcher diet until Christmas.

Wee Fergus the Fighter is strong enough to walk to his outdoor paddock at the vet clinic, where he spent his first Big Boy Night Out with his nursing mom, Mouse. We got the great news that they can come to Skydog on Monday!
