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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

1/ Bess and (Bumble)Bee spent most of their lives wild. What a huge shock to be rounded up, confined, and dumped in the slaughter pipeline without enough to eat. In safe hands now, they will be turned out with a band of seniors, including Mabel, when they have recovered.

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.

And they’re home! I truly cried a few tears after they got safely to their stalls, where they can decompress while we monitor the amount they drink and eat, treat their wounds, and assess them.

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

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.

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.

It was hard to choose just one as the poster mustang for our 10th Anniversary, but sweet Lily won the day. Her story epitomizes what we do when we rescue, heal, rehabilitate #wildhorses, give them family, and space to run. #rescuedoneright

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

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!

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!

“Imagine being driven from your home by something you cannot understand. You know the landscape. You know where the water is. You know your family is beside you. Then there is noise. Dust. A helicopter overhead. And nowhere to go but forward.” ~Scott Wilson | PhotoAdvocacy

We usually give new #wildhorse arrivals a little time before doing intake in the hydraulic squeeze chute, but Adonis’ #feet were so bad that Janelle got started right away on trimming them. He came out the other side feeling like he was walking on air.

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.

Eclipse & Survivor are home! An incredible day, drenched in love, for these two magnificent #wildhorses. They’ll start out on 40 peaceful acres with shady trees, spring water, and soon some equine company to help them settle in. Thank you for helping us restore their #freedom.
