Wild Horse & Burro Rescue & Sanctuary Mission

Thanks to your generous support the Wild for Life Foundation recently welcomed 17 Native Navajo Mustangs to Bonsall, CA. The fillies and colts were transported from New Mexico in two trailers and arrived just before the New Year. These Navajo horses had been captured in November just off the reservation "as strays", and were at risk of slaughter. More than 2,000 of their four-legged brothers and sisters have lost their lives during the U.S. government funded Navajo roundups which the vast majority of Navajo people oppose.

As seen in the clip on YouTube which was filmed on the day of their arrival to CA, Cochise a beautiful Bay gelding is excited to see a second trailer as it pulls into the sanctuary. Cochise had been separated from his family band in New Mexico during the transport process two days earlier. He has no idea that he would ever see his family again. Cochise immediately reunited with his family the minute they got off the trailer. Cochise together with Sunfire (the paint) watch over Istas the baby mule foal and her mother, Nikita the Roan mare.

WFLF, an all volunteer 501 c3 charity that relies 100% on donations is working around the clock to provide these fillies and colts with needed care and assure their forever safe harbor. Funds are being raised to pay for vet medical care, hay, pasture space and shelter.

WFLF has recently saved 38 of these at risk Mustangs and we are working to save more. WFLF's gentle, soothing rescue and rehabilitation process is allowing rescued fillies and colts to heal in a calm and safe environment. As rescued horses heal, their successful transitions to educational Ambassadors create a lasting impact on the public for more humane and positive care of horses.

The Navajo Horse Rescue and Recovery Mission (NHRRM) is an onging effort to rescue and re-home wild horses, burros and orphan foals that are at risk of slaughter or that have been victimized by the Navajo roundups. The Wild for Life Foundation assures their forever safe harbor so that they will never be subject to roundup or slaughter again. Many Native Navajo Mustangs are in grave danger of being captured off the reservation and going to slaughter. Our all volunteer rescue team has put their lives on hold to save and evacuate as many of these horses and baby foals as possible.

The Wild for Life Foundation and its Saving America's Horses Initiative supports comprehensive and science based solution oriented models that lead to systematic change, reduce suffering, and cultivate a more compassionate society.  Back to the Wild is the wild horse and burros rescue program under WFLF's Lifetime Equine Refuge that provides safe sanctuary for wild horses removed from the open ranges and educational resources for the preservation of wild equines. We believe that all equines deserve to be protected from abuse, cruelty and a gruesome end.

Wild for Life Foundation is dedicated to educating and engaging the public through the promotion of wild horse conservation and preservation initiatives, the prevention of equine cruelty and the protection from slaughter by providing healthy, safe and positive environments for at risk horses, and through the purchase of land to return horse and burro populations to the wild and provide lifelong sanctuary for equines in need.

The Wild for Life Foundation supports the return of wild equines to their original habitats across the US, so they can thrive, be protected and help restore America's rangelands and threatened landscapes. We encourage proper land stewardship and land management, enhancing the rangelands for all species and giving consideration to each herd management area independently. We support the partnership of public and private land ownership for the provision of wild horse preservation in America as we focus on saving this indigenous species for the greater good, and supporting the wildlife and natural ecosystems that depend on them now and for generations to come.

Wild for Life Foundation (WFLF) is dedicated to assuring their forever safe harbor, which means providing for their housing and care for the lifetime of each horse. WFLF's wild and domestic horse rescue and care programs together with our equine assisted learning and healing programs provide multiple opportunities for children and adults of all ages, including educational outreach programs for at risk youth, substance abuse therapy, and equine therapy programs for U.S. military veterans.   As part of WFLF's Western Regional Equine Preserve Project the WFLF is currently seeking sponsorship for land acquisition for an equine sanctuary/preserve and educational center in the San Diego area where it can implement a variety of community programs to benefit both people and the horses. In this manner, WFLF will serve America's most needy equines while at the same time enhance the lives of people.

We thank you for your continued support of our work on behalf of the horses.  Your kind and generous suport is helping to save lives. Please share information about our cause with your friends and family.  Together we can make a huge difference now and for generations to come.
