It's not news that America is a cowboy nation, but it may surprise many that we are destroying the horse we rode in on.

This breaks my heart. Our Bookcliff herd is down to 200, and this year they started sterilizing the mares. 200 horses on 24,000 acres of land and they claim there isn't enough to fee more than 200. Our priorities have certainly changed. What young irl or boy hasn't dreamed of the wild running mustangs? Who wouldn't thrill at the sight of them racing for the sheer joy of it? We as a nation have lost much.
