Description

During the holiday season, we are all reminded of the familial bonds we have. Families don’t necessarily consist only of blood relatives, and perhaps unsurprisingly, this is true for wild horses as well. Wild horses aren't just roaming free, they're living in tight-knit families.   However, roundups by the Bureau of Land Management are disrupting these tight-knit bands and causing physical, emotional, and mental distress by separating mares from foals, stallions from mares, young from old, and thereby threatening an iconic American species. In this episode, I underline why it's so important to keep our wild horses in the United States on our public lands, wild and free with their families.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/22
