AWHC staff were on site when Trey and his mother were captured in a major BLM roundup of 534 wild horses in Utah. The day of the roundup was cold, but many horses were soaked in sweat — a result of stress and exhaustion from a several miles-long helicopter stampede. Once trapped, they began to panic, piling on top of each other while attempting to escape the pen.
Trey and his mother were relentlessly pursued by a helicopter, terrorizing and confusing them. Eventually, the mare was captured, and Trey was left all alone. He was then roped by wranglers on horseback, hogtied and flipped on his side. Despite being far too young to be separated from his mother — two months old at most — Trey was put in a pen with other terrified foals just ripped away from their mothers’ sides.
AWHC tracked Trey to the BLM holding facility and a member of our team adopted him and another orphaned filly from the roundup. They’re now living full lives in their new home. But far too many horses just like Trey — once proud and free — now sit languishing in holding pens, at risk every day of being killed or sold for slaughter. Please help us do more for wild horses like Trey.
You can help us protect wild horses. Just give a gift of just $10 or more today and take advantage of our Giving Tuesday match.
AWHC staffers work every day to document events like the Utah roundup and create policy that keeps wild horses and burros alive, free and thriving on our public lands. Thank you for standing with us in this fight.
In Freedom,

It take one bad apple to make all of them bad. Blm never was this way before. Sending the wild. Horses to slaughter is wrong. What we take their family to the kill pins and the slaughter house and make them what happens to the horses how they are treated.
