83 mares and a few foals were trailered from Fish Creek Nevada in three large semi-truck loads. All made it safe and sound.
Many of these horses are in very poor shape. Some are not too bad. They have been on a full feeding program since Lifesavers became involved in the rescue and they are all doing better now than they were.
Now that they are safely at the Lifesavers Ranch in southern California, we can moniter their diet and improvement daily. On a free feed diet of Bermuda grass hay and Barley, you can see they are quite content to just hang out.
Even the foals are relaxed enough to take some time for mutual grooming.
The Fish Creek horses will be allowed to gain weight and strength before we start working with them or adopting them out. They are wild horses of domestic stock and most of them seem to have level heads and interested personalities. They are mostly bays and sorrels in color with a few appies, duns, roans and several buckskins.
