Yesterday I decided I would go out and look for the wild horses on the Cedar Mountains of Utah. There are about 250 horses free roaming on the mountain. The vegetation on the upper elevation of the Cedar Mountains is comprised of junipers. The foothill and valley regions include mixed desert shrubs. Due to range fires during the past 10 years, the area is dominated by cheatgrass. Wild horses have occupied the Cedar Mountains since the late 1800s. It is suggested that the original stock was controlled by the Standard Horse and Mule Company that provided remounts for the U.S. Army. However, many of the horses on the Cedar Mountains are descendants of horses that were turned loose or escaped from nearby ranches. The dominant colors within the herd area are bay and black. Other colors found are sorrel, red and blue roan, buckskin, gray, palomino, and pinto. The wild horses on the Cedars are classified as average in size. Mares weigh 750 to 800 pounds and stallions weigh 850 to 1000 pounds. These horses would not let you near them but here are some pictures from my day! As you can see, it was very short lived but I will go out again!

Thoughts… Change they say is good as it keeps forward motion in its constant state of evolving. It also helps elevate stagnation and murky waters of overgrown bacteria and algae from overwhelming a populace. Heavens knows those who are bored out there need to begin their own stirring of their own waters! There are times though when change causes deep emotions to stir in the spirits of human beings. As I continue to view the world and how we are so infinitesimal in comparison to the expanse of our known dimension I bring myself back to the subatomic thought process of who I am and from where I come from. I think “going home” does this to me quite often. As I am a keen observer to the world and its majestic creations under the assumption that it has all been placed in an orderly fashion by the Creator. I say assume as to a realization that we all live under a delusion of sorts that is sparked by what we know, think we know or do not know at all… assumptions. As I reflect, watch, listen, taste, smell and consume my mother, my father, my family, my sun, my stars, my grass, my trees, my birds, my mountains, my horses, my worship, my dinner, my bed, my dreams… I am the summation of an assumption that I am. An individual keenly blessed by God. Thank you Lord and guide me as I travel on towards the goal. As we know there are many snares and stumbling blocks placed before us. Along with those who seek to persecute… and stir up strife… we are to pray for… I am praying for my enemies. ~KL CGZ 2008

Dear all Some of you may have seen the Journal and Petition by Gene Praag: , who is making us aware of the BML Bureau of Land Management decision to cull American Wild Horses. My personal view is that outside the USA, the American wild horses are synonymous to the USA , more so than the Golden Eagle. I will not dwell on this too much as Gene Praag has already written about it, but you may wish to support the cause by signing the petition letter on the link in Gene Praags journal or click below. It would be great if you could support this cause and perhaps you wish to add the logo and link to your red bubble profile. here is the code.

What a difference a day makes. One day you go out to the horses and it’s 60 degrees. The next day you get caught in a fast approaching storm….....! When I arrived out in the desert, I located the horses right away. They wasn’t far from where they had been the night before. They were walking in a straight line along the horizon. Anticipating where they were heading I parked the truck and started to hike. / I hiked about 3 miles before I finally caught up with them only to find them running for the trees. / Before I knew it the storm had hit. I debated on heading back to the truck but decided to stay and watch a while. / It really started to come down so I climbed underneath a tree to wait it out for a while. / The horses behave pretty much the same as they do when the weather is good. / After the storm had passed the desert was covered with a fresh coat of snow and the horses moved back down out of the trees. / Then the winds picked up and I had a long hike back to the truck. What a day! / Welcome To Spring in Utah!

I just found out today my beloved wild horse herd was rounded up without my knowledge. I went out last weekend and could not find one horse. I thought that they may have went through the fence at Dugway Proving Grounds and they were on the Army Base. They frequently did this and sometimes you were unable to find them. According to the BLM the horses don’t have enough food or water to sustain themselves. If you have seen my pictures of the horses you can see just how much land these animals have. The Onaqui Herd Management Area (HMA) is located 40 air miles southwest of Salt Lake City. The HMA extends from Johnson’s Pass south to Lookout Pass. Wild horses can be seen on the bench and flat areas along the east and west side of the mountain range. The HMA contains 43,880 acres of Federal, State, and privately owned land. You tell me how can this not be enough land to sustain these horses? They are planning on only putting 30 horses back!!! My question is if the BLM does not have enough money to sustain these horses in the wild how can they have enough money to corral them and feed them for however long it takes to find them a home or EUTHANIZE them? I really did not think this was going to affect me this way but I am very hurt. I will not be going out for a very long time to photograph the horses.

Today I went to the BLM wild horse and burro center to see the Onaqui herd. I saw a lot of horses I recognized in the wild, they rounded up a total of about 200 horses. This includes the General, the paints, the roans, Praire Roses greys, and my favorite Marv. The BLM has informed me out of the 200 horses only 25 will be returned. All the females will have a two year contaceptive shot and the BLM assured me that in three years there will be 200 horses out there again. The BLM informed me that the horses that they could not capture during the roundup have been scattered approximately within 100 square miles and it will take them 3 months for them to band together again. They also informed me that the amount of horses in this horse management area which consists of 48,000 acres is only 200 horses. I talked with three different BLM officials and could not a consistent answer of why they were rounded up. They told me the horses that don’t get adopted will be shipped to Oklahoma to live their lives in a beautiful green pasture with flowing rivers. He told me with conviction that a healthy horse in never euthanized. He told me that this is totally against there policy. A policy I am still looking to find! I have taken the time to sign many petitions, contact the local news and sent a letter to the white house and governers. Please take the time to do the same! On a lighter note as my wife and I were leaving one of the wild horses actually walked up to the fence and let me pet him. It tore my heart out! This is a picture of one of the numerous corrals the horses are corraled in. / The General in the wild and now corraled. Scrutiny in the wild and corraled. Standing Tall in the wild and corraled. The Proud One! My favorite of all! Here is a link to a couple of petition sites! It only takes a moment! / The American Wild Horse Preservation / IDA
