"Cloud" fans? Wild Horse band facing round-up
Pretty amazing story... I imagine Thebby has background on this as she has studied horses in the wild.. It was new to me...
http://www.thecloudfoundation.org/home.html Don't know how many are familiar with or have followed this 'wild horse' story... Public lands horses facing round-up.. Check the News section for extensive coverage of this natural order phenomenon... http://www.thecloudfoundation.org/McCullough.html

There's a very good book out now- Mustang: The Saga of the Wild Horse in the American West by Deanne Stillman. She's an authority on the plight of the wild horse.
That's sort of the same thing as me saying I have a horse running in the 3rd race at Belmont tomorrow... so I don't feel that guilty for posting. And I didn't provide a "buy" link! Last edited by Kasept : 07-02-2008 at 03:49 PM.

the herd that I studied is in the sierra nevadas of california and nevada....the only herd in the country not subject to yearly roundups as their population numbers are kept in check by mountain lion predation.
and the book mentioned by Bystander is great, I finished it a few days ago.

Lacy J. Dalton, who had a few country hits not all that many years ago, has made much of that herd her personal cause. I was over in a little town in eastern Nevada last year and ran into a guy who did some of the yearly roundups. My innate credibility meter led me to believe he was pretty much an animal lover....which I guess was somewhat ironic since he was there with an elk hunting permit for a few days. I asked him about some horses that had died after roundup in a holding area north of Reno a few weeks earlier. He went into an explanation of his methods of herding, and he wasn't at all involved with those horses. Long story short, he didn't "buy" the disease story that was floated by the media on the horse deaths, but offered his view they had been traumatized during the roundup.
