Success! The last of imperiled Monero Mustangs safely arrive to California! Wild For Life Foundation (WFLF) extends very special and warm welcome to new family members, the Monero Mustangs! Its been a long hard road for this herd of imperiled Mustangs that had already been through so much. Many of them first lost their freedom and their families when they were chased down by government helicopters and ATVs - the trauma and physical suffering caused by these brutal roundups is virtually unspeakable. The last members of this majestic herd are now safely reunited with their family members in California, including the last group of six mares and their 3-4 month old foals that most recently arrived after a three-month stop over at Equine Voices in Arizona. Many of the herd members appeared in WFLFs award winning movie, Saving Americas Horses which was partially filmed on location at the Monero Mustangs sanctuary in 2009. Monero Mustang founders, Sandi Claypool and anthropologist, Ila Broomberg became key speakers in this passionate and compelling documentary film. Filmmaker, Katia Louise recalls. It was an honor to witness and film these magnificent living legends thriving in harmony with nature, complimenting the environment and gracing our world with their beauty. The herd of Monero Mustangs had lived peacefully for years on a 5,000 acre ranch in New Mexico where many people from around the world were able to experience their majesty through successful eco-tourism and conservation programs. The Wild For Life Foundation has saved the lives of these majestic horses, and is assuring that the Monero Mustang legacy lives on. Wild horse expert and the founder of Monero Mustangs of New Mexico has now also arrived to CA where she has joined WFLFs Sanctuary Program as the new on site Wild Horse Conservation and Sanctuary Manager. Sandi has dedicated her life to keeping the genetic pool of the original Spanish El Rito Mustang alive. As an educator, she will bring a wealth of knowledge to our wild horse educational program, about the treasure of this regal and adaptive band of vanishing El Rito Spanish that helped build the west. Our American Mustang has impacted every race and every culture in the building of our Nation. These iconic living legends helped fight our battles, conquer and build settlements in our Nation, deliver our mail, transport doctors to the sick, transported supplies, and fought in our nations wars on all sides, says Ms Claypool. The symbol of freedom they represent during turbulent times is a great healer of broken hearts. The Monero Mustangs had sadly lost their safe sanctuary home due to conflicting special interests regarding land use, and within a few months the entire herd was in grave danger of going to slaughter. Monero Mustang founder, Sandi Claypool says, If it wasnt for the Wild for Life Foundation our entire herd would have been brutally butchered alive for their meat. A number of these renowned Monero Mustangs are the rare breed, direct and undiluted descendants of the El Rito Spanish horses brought to the Americas by Juan de Onate in and around 1598. With your continued support, WFLF will be able provide them with the security of a new forever safe and natural habitat where they will never be at risk of roundup or slaughter again. As the remaining number of Wild Horses in the U.S. nears extinction, education and appreciation through the protection and observation of Wild Horses in sanctuary becomes tantamount to their survival as a species.
