In honor of National I Love Horses Day, we want to tell you a touching story from the Great Divide Basin HMA.

Wild horse photographer and advocate, Kimerlee Curyl, was photographing the incredible Great Divide Basin horses when she encountered a heavily pregnant and stunning white mare. Keeping a respectful distance, Kimerlee observed the mare and her family interact.

As she watched, a group of boisterous bachelor stallions approached, attempting to steal mares from their stallion. However, the lead stallion was not about to back down. With fury and determination, he fought off the bachelors.

The other mares and a few youngsters in the group were extremely distressed but knew they had to protect their pregnant family member. They began running in circles around her, kicking up dust to create a protective barrier. This made it incredibly difficult for any bachelor to infiltrate the group.

Kimerlee documented this experience, writing:

“Finally, the stallion drove the last of the bachelors towards the horizon. The ground shook with the stampeding of hooves across the desert floor. I didn’t think he could do it, but he did. The powerful stallion won this battle with his strength, determination, and the unbreakable family bond they possessed. He swiftly galloped back to the family and returned directly to her side with an air of chivalry—a testament to the enduring noble nature of the wild. She returned her tired head to the space upon his back where she had been resting, let out a big breath, and all was calm in their world once again. Witnessing such events and moments in their wild world is the inspiration to continue the fight to keep them wild.”

This moment is especially poignant as AWHC’s lawyers, along with Kimerlee Curyl as a co-plaintiff, head to court to argue two cases that will determine the fate of wild horses from Wyoming’s Checkerboard, including the Salt Wells and the Great Divide Basin Herd Management Areas (HMA). The outcome of these cases will set an important precedent: Will private interests be allowed to dictate the use of public lands and decide whether our federally protected wild horses and burros can live on them?

Praying for this beautiful stallion to hide from the helicopters when they return in the morning.

It is shameful that only the ranchers have a say in doing away with the wild horses living on our public lands- and they use our taxes, against our will, to pay the helicopter contractor his millions of blood money.

Stay safe big guy....

Took a run round Muskrat Basin after roundup operations were concluded today.

I had low expectations after watching 500 wild horses rounded up in the same area over the past two days, so meeting this stunning stallion and a couple of his buddies this evening was a real treat.

The helicopters will be targeting the same area tomorrow, so hoping this Wyoming wild one keeps his wits about him and stays out of sight.

Well, another year has passed. Everyone is doing great. Shearing day is over, so 🤪Happy New Year! 🎉 Spring is here and everyone can get back out, free as the wind, run and enjoy the outdoors again. So happy for them.

Here are the girls, youngest to eldest. Assisi age 8, her mom Sara, aunties and grandma Sunburst 21 - the beige, fawn & brown family.

The black family - Akeela, her daughter Sugar Plum, and Shanti & Sophie whose moms have passed (Almond Joy and Comfie, my first girls).

Awww, this memory from long ago. These babies' moms were my first purchased in 2006 as foundation females - Almond Joy an experienced mom and "Comfie" a maiden girl. They had babies in 2010 - Captain and Sophie. Almond watched over Comfie, always close by, and their babies grew up together.

As time went by, Almond had a last baby boy, Amalfi. When Almond had trouble nursing, Comfie stepped right in to let him nurse from her. He would nurse from Comfie and then run back to his mom, the sweetest thing. He was getting bottles from me until Comfie saw her way to help Almond & Amalfi.

What memories. I miss those beautiful friends so much, now that they have passed. Wonderful having their babies here, 13 years old now.

Always love a 'bluebird of happiness.'
