Tawny the Reservation Mustang Filly's Story:
THOUSANDS of mustangs are rounded up off of Reservation land each year, incentivized by the US government. In 2023, over three thousand Reservation Mustangs were rounded up from one Wyoming reservation alone!! They are wild, undocumented, untracked, and cheap to get in mass numbers- making them a number one pick for kill buyers who's only intention is to fill their trailer and take a load of horses across the border to be slaughtered in Mexico for personal profit.
This baby was rounded up off the Hopi Reservation in Arizona along with her mom Goldie in late April 2024.
If you have driven through any Reservation land in Arizona, you have likely seen many wild reservation horses and the state they live in. These are some of the most barren lands out of the entire country and life here is hard for both the people & animals. These horses are usually skinny, if not emaciated, and they have to compete with the reservation cattle and sheep that the people rely on to make their livings on the already sparse resources available. 200 Horses have been sold to a kill buyer out of New Mexico in trailer loads of 25 in March & April 2024 alone by the man capturing these.
Tawny arrived home on May 1st, 2024 and has been a light in the sanctuary ever since with her playful antics and absolutely adorable little face! From the day she arrived she loves to play with Copper, nibble on the quarantine pen panels or chains and try to boss her momma around! We can't WAIT until she joins the herd and we get to see her RUN FREE and play with the other youngsters!
