The horse behind the character Spirit in the movie is a real, living equine who is now 29 years old.

DreamWorks chose the young c**t Spirit when he was just a foal. Born to a stallion and mare captured by the BLM in Oregon, Spirit epitomizes the Kiger mustang breed with his striking appearance—wide-set eyes and a thick, wavy, multi-colored mane and tail—which inspired the animated version of the horse that continues to captivate audiences today.

In real life, Spirit mirrors his animated counterpart’s mission by advocating for the preservation of wild horses and their natural habitats. Residing at a sanctuary, Spirit not only enjoys human interaction but also serves as a key ambassador for wild horses, inspiring young people worldwide to learn about America's mustangs and the importance of freedom and protection for all horses.

He resides at the Return to Freedom sanctuary in Santa Barbara County, where he roams 300 acres of pristine California pasture. Though he was raised around people from a young age, those familiar with him note his spirited personality, reminiscent of his animated alter ego. Spirit plays a crucial role in the sanctuary, educating the public about his breed and promoting the protection of America’s wild horses.

As a celebrated figure, Spirit draws many visitors to the sanctuary. Through these interactions, he helps convey the critical message about the current state of the nation’s wild horses and how people can contribute to their preservation.

At 29 years old, Spirit enjoys his time at the sanctuary, socializing with other horses and receiving care from his devoted human companions. Although born in captivity, he embodies the free-spirited essence of the wild west. Thanks to "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron," his legacy will continue to inspire a commitment to the fight for freedom.

🔸️ ATTENTION: APPALACHIAN TRAIL DOG OWNERS & HIKERS 🔸️

Over the weekend, it was reported that a hiker found dog treats stuffed with fishhooks near the George W. Outerbridge shelter on the Appalachian Trail.

The incident occurred near the North Trail Loop leading to the shelter, on State Game Lands #217, in Washington Township, Lehigh County.

Items like these could prove deadly to any animal that consumes them, including wild and domesticated animals.

If anyone has any information about the incident or locates more findings, please call 1-833-PGC-WILD or 1-833-PGC-HUNT immediately.

[NOTE: This photo is just picture of a pond in the summer. NOT a picture of a pond with the toxin.] Cyanobacteria can have many different looks, including not being visible at all. Link to Kentucky Division of Water for more photos and information: https://eec.ky.gov/Environmental-Protection/Water/Monitor/Pages/HABS.aspx #:~:text=Harmful%20Algal%20Blooms%20Division%20of%20Water&text=A%20harmful%20algal%20bloom%2C%20or,skin%20in%20animals%20or%20humans.
"Death follows minutes to hours after exposure to a small amount of this toxin." As the weather gets hotter, ponds can start to have "algae blooms." The water itself can look like pea soup, or like green paint is spread on the surface of the water. Sometimes it is not visible at all. Some of these blooms are cyanobacteria, which can produce potent toxins. Dogs are exposed when they wade in the water and either drink the water directly, or lick it off themselves when they come out. There is no antidote; treatment is supportive and many dogs don't survive. If you believe your dog has been exposed, bathe him immediately. If he has any symptoms, bring him right in to a veterinarian. See comments for more information about signs and treatment. (Most ponds that look like this are not dangerous, but it is not possible to tell which ones are toxic and which ones aren't except by having the water tested; If in doubt, keep pets out.) Edited to add links to more pond phots.

Chickens have grown 364% over the last 60 years.

In the 1940s, chicken was expensive. The average chicken was $3....that's $30 today when adjusted for inflation.

A&P, the country's largest supermarket at the time, wanted to turn this delicacy into a staple.

So, they devised specialized breeding and feeding to grow bigger chickens, faster.

It worked...

The average chicken now grows 2X as fast and weighs 3.5X more.

Chickens are meant to eat a wide range of foods such as grass and bugs, but now they are primarily fed corn and soy to fatten them up as fast as possible.

This not only fattens them, but changes their fat.

The omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of modern chickens can be as high as 20:1, 3X that of pasture-raised chicken.

And, just as A&P wanted, we are eating A LOT of it.

The average American eats 65 pounds of chicken per year.

Chicken is a health food, but I recommend sourcing it from a farm where the chickens get to move out in the pasture, consuming a more natural diet.

We are receiving a high volume of phone calls from our wildlife enthusiasts, concerned about birds that's can't fly, on their porch or just hopping around. They are fledgling and unable to fly for several days. Their parents take care of them on the ground and teaching the babies life survival skills. Please don't birdnap and keep your cats indoors.

Keep those pups safe when the fireworks start going this weekend.

From a local gardener:
This tick has been on display for us to show people for a while. After months in a sealed container without any additional feeding, she laid eggs. This demonstrates how long a tick can remain dormant and how many eggs one female can lay. Remember, ticks become active again in the fall, so continue with preventive measures.
If you encounter a small pile of jelly-like balls in your garden, act immediately! These are tick eggs and they're set to hatch soon. The right side of the image shows the life stages of a tick, for your reference.
Either set them on fire or destroy them by soaking in isopropyl alcohol. Be sure to wear gloves if you handle the nest, as it contains hundreds of tick eggs that will hatch in a few weeks. I believe it's important to share this post because tick bites can be dangerous.
Stay safe and informed to protect yourself and your garden from these tiny but dangerous creatures!

Unfortunately we have seen a recent increase in missing pets or found pets being brought to the office in hopes they are microchipped. Most microchips are free to register so be sure to take this step. Microchips also double as proof of ownership so you can purchase a lifetime license.
