The public is only allowed at certain places at certain times and she is there. She is
right there with many others as these round-up show the tragic outcomes for some. They are there to try to protect these horses by documenting everything in the hopes of keeping the BLM honest to what they are doing. Trying to make sure these horses are well maintained as we can see they are not. Some would say it is animal cruelty. Craig Downer is a wildlife ecologist and board member to the Cloud Foundation
(Note 6) and goes to the round ups as well documenting what he sees. He has been to court numerous times battling for these horses and trying to stop their round ups. For his speech, Forever Wild and Free, Downer received a standing ovation at the Wild Horse Forum in 2008. He studies these horses and how we impact them by de- pleting them from their home land.
The Cloud Foundation
was created by Ginger Kathrens. She has documented a white Palomino horse, Cloud, in Pryor Mountains in Montana since birth. She is fighting to save the wild horses and let horses like Cloud live in their natural sur- roundings.
The American Wild
Horse Preservation (Note 7) is doing their part by showing the public what is going on. The AWHP is there on the front lines trying to get people to understand this problem and what actions they can take to save the horses. There are many supporters (Note 8) of the AWHP and they are people like Willie Nelson, Ellen Degeneres, Clint Eastwood to people like Nick Zito (two-time Kentucky Derby Winner), Chris Shivers (two-time World Champion Bull Rider), Madeleine Pickens, RT Fitch, Laura Leigh, Calamity Cate Crismani and so many others.
Just some food for thought: The BLM stated that the Calico round ups were neces-
sary due to the over population. They stated their numbers were about 3,040 wild horses. They then stated they needed to reduce the number to about 600-900 horses to make sure they could survive.
