Their future is our future

This little baby foal, just weeks old, was orphaned and left to die after being chased down in a
roundup. Her mother was shipped to slaughter that same day. This little foal collapsed shortly after she was rescued. Her body shut down from the trauma. She was rushed to the nearest veterinary hospital where she clung to dear life for 17 days before she finally recovered enough to be released. She is seen here in her hospital room with a loving young visitor. The actual death count from the number of horses that shipped to slaughter as a result of that roundup series rose to over 2,000; countless others disappeared as kill trucks loaded with torchered & terrified horses continued to ship across federal borders underground. This orphan foal is one of dozens whose lives were saved through a grassroots collaboration of charity rescue services - one of many successful lifesaving missions under WFLF.

This is MorningStar. She grew up in WFLF's volunteer driven sanctuary and is thriving today, thanks to the continued support of caring people who never once gave up on her or the countless other victimized wild and domestic horses and burros who rely 100% on charity to survive. Her inspirational story of loss, betrayal and survival through love and healing serves as a testament for the need to end this total injustice and utter suffering caused by roundups, and unspeakable slaughter, and the profound understanding of how saving their lives is in truth at the core of the future we share in this world together. Their future is our future. Please join us as we stand as one with the horse nation.

There are many ways to take part - from volunteering at a local rescue, to supporting the boots-on-the ground groups who work in the trenches and save the lives of individual horses and burros, to supporting the groups that advocate for stronger laws that are needed to end these practices and protect these animals, to supporting the powerful outreach and educational campaigns that can help raise the public outcry and action needed for change.

Wild For Life Foundation announces new Wild Horse Manager in California

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wild For Life Foundation announces new Wild Horse Sanctuary Manager in California

July 12, 2014 - The Wild for Life Foundation (WFLF) today announced arrival of WFLF's new on site Wild Horse Manager, Sandi Claypool.  Sandi pledged to share her knowledge about the treasure of an adaptive band of horses she calls the El Rito. “Our American Mustang has impacted every race and every culture in the building of our Nation. These iconic living legends helped fight our battles, conquer and build settlements in our Nation, deliver our mail, transport doctors to the sick, transported supplies, and fought in our nations wars on all sides," says Ms Claypool.  “The symbol of freedom they represent during turbulent times is a great healer of broken hearts.”

"Referred to by many as the Spanish horses, this breed of Mustangs traces their lineage back to the reintroduction of equines to North America by the Spaniards in the 1500's.  These majestic icons now need homes after narrowly escaping government eradication," Claypool added.

Just recently these New Mexico horses lost their freedom and their homes on the open range of the Yellow Hills Ranch in New Mexico and were in grave danger of going to slaughter. A number of them had previously been captured by the El Rito Forest District rangers and placed for adoption.   

Wild For Life Foundation launched this WFLF Mustang Rescue and Recovery Mission to save the
lives of these majestic horses and help their legacy live on. "With wild mustang herds across the west vanishing, the importance of protecting and preserving them, and providing the public the opportunity to view and experience wild mustangs in their natural environment is essential to the history and the future of our Nation," adds Ms. Louise.

Since late 2013, WFLF has rescued and placed approximately 180 wild Mustangs who all had lost their freedom and their homes in New Mexico. Dozens of baby horses had been orphaned as a result of the roundups and slaughter, which the vast majority of American people oppose. 

"The Wild For Life Foundation (WFLF), a nonprofit charity dedicated to saving, protecting and preserving wild and domestic horses through rescue, sanctuary, and education, is developing a permanent public benefit sanctuary where horses and people are partners in healing," said WFLF's founder Katia Louise. WFLF's goal is to re-home 50-60 of these rescued Mustangs, and give them a permanent natural habitat sanctuary within San Diego county.  Sandi and the last couple groups of the at-risk horses are due to arrive in California sometime later this month.

The Wild for Life Foundation (WFLF) is a U.S. registered tax exempt 501 (c)3 nonprofit charity dedicated to protecting America's equines through rescue, rehabilitation, education and sanctuary.  Federal ID Number: 26-3052458
