Cumberland Island Wild Horse Spotlight: Anchor ⚓️

If you’ve ever visited Plum Orchard Mansion on Cumberland Island, chances are you’ve seen Anchor. He often frequents the grounds with his band and has become a favorite among visitors!

Less than a week before this moment, this formerly wild stallion had never accepted human touch. Yet here he is, gently interacting with a child.

I’ve been told many times that mustangs are inherently dangerous and can never be trusted. Some in the equestrian world avoid them simply because they do not understand them.

This moment is proof of what becomes possible when you give a mustang a chance. ✨

One of our rescues, Rocket, was removed during an “emergency” roundup five years ago, along with over 600 other mustangs. The Bureau of Land Management stated that the Sand Wash Basin HMA no longer had the resources to support its wild horse population.

Yet just two months later, thousands of domestic sheep were allowed to graze the same range right before winter.

This raises important questions about how our public lands are managed and for whom they are truly managed.

Remember that wild horses are federally protected under the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 and are recognized for their role in maintaining the health of Western rangelands. 🏜️

What are your thoughts on how public lands should be managed?

How we’re beating the bugs this year. 💪

Keeping our mustangs and burros comfortable during bug season has always been a priority. Last summer, we added a few new tools to our bug-control routine that worked well, and we’re excited to start using them much earlier this year.

First, it’s important to identify the enemy. 🔍 Different regions are affected by different biting insects. Some horse owners primarily battle flies, while we're at war with biting gnats. That’s changed how we approach bug management - fly masks and even bug spray can be nearly useless when the gnats get bad. Instead, we focus more on bug-repelling supplements that make our equines a little less tasty to them. 🤢

Bug-Off Supplement from Springtime Supplements
(This garlic supplement has been very effective for us.)

DWA from Fir Meadow LLC
(It’s an herbal dewormer that also helps ward off biting insects.)

Bug Spray from Green Horse Organics
(Effective and chemical-free.)

Fly Traps
(For the flies that do find their way here.)

Fly Masks
(We use them occasionally, but if gnats get under the mask, it can cause even more irritation.)

Bonus Tip: Use a Bug-A-Salt 🔫 on those giant horse flies.

While supplements, sprays, and traps make a difference, maintaining a clean, dry environment is still a game-changer with bug control. 🪰

If you have any tried-and-true bug management methods, we’d love to hear them! Drop them in the comments below! ⬇️

🌎 It's World Wildlife Day! 🦌

Today we celebrate the wildlife that coexist with wild horses and burros across the Western rangelands and islands along the East Coast. Each species plays a vital role in keeping our ecosystems balanced and thriving, contributing to the beauty of the wild places we love. 🏞️

❤️ Four years ago today, Alamo stepped onto our property. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long since his rescue — what a wild ride it’s been! I’m grateful for everything I’ve learned through training him and for the opportunities he’s created to connect with the public and share the story of America’s wild horses. 🇺🇸
