Caring for Our Four-Legged Friends


--by MisterMindy, posted Aug 18, 2021
My wife Mindy and I sponsor a wild horse we've named “Imagine” at the Hot Springs SD wild horse sanctuary, a beautiful 14000 acre wildlife refuge in the southern Black Hills. The 750 horses here are free to roam the property with little human intervention. As the summers are dry and winters harsh, they do require additional feed, hay, and water sources that are funded by sponsors such as we are. I gift this sponsorship to Mindy annually on her birthday. As we are sponsoring a horse, we were allowed to give the horse a name.
Pictured below is “Imagine” when she was about 5 months old, and now about 14 months old. Isn't she beautiful!

I am glad for this sanctuary. 300 were just taken off the Utah plains and about 4000 are heading to misery soon off of Wyoming. Colorado is having an "'emergency" round-up. All unnecessary and cruel. 1000's of welfare rancher cows will replace a few hundred horses. Places like this offer sanctuary to horses that are mostly heading for kill pens. Thank you.
