When a 3yo #zebra named Ziggy meets a 9yo #zonkey named Zee the wild boy games begin. Zee, like a big brother, has a lot to teach young Ziggy, who needs the guidance. Read about Zee: bit.ly/3XJ4UVk Read about Ziggy: bit.ly/4pd2HOl

Chesney may never have known love before we saved him from a CA livestock auction, but he learned all about it at #Skydog. #Wildhorse life in #OR was not for him, he chose the warm sun and sand in #Malibu. He was stoic, independent, quiet, and happy until colic took him from us. Rest in peace.

What does it mean to be touched by an angel? Fletcher, Sawyer & Captain just found out! Saved from kill pens, these three senior #mustangs are now at #skydogsanctuary’s new ranch in #SantaYnez. They’ll have love, care, and kindness for the rest of their lives. Their story: bit.ly/4qPEWgv

That streak of white lightning racing the young #mare Sugar is Snow White, a #fleabittengrey from White River NV. To the BLM, she was unadoptable - her age & #swayback made her unrideable. To us, her value does not lie in her use, but in seeing her love her #wildhorse life. Her story: bit.ly/4obdbND

More grizzly bears are dying in the Yellowstone area. That should be a wake-up call.

With our wildness vanishing, #BlueZeus is a timely call to action for #wildhorses - a love story with razor-sharp documentary edges. Narrated by #GerardButler, we follow the real-life journey of majestic Blue Zeus, and his bonded family, who once roamed free in the American West.

Severe #osteoarthritis makes it impossible for Eloise to run wild with our #burro herd. But #donkeys have their size and amazing healing abilities in their favor. We’ve seen miracles with our #longears. We are keeping her comfortable as she gets lots of stall rest, love, care, and good nutrition.

Here is the official #BlueZeus trailer. The dulcet tones of narrator #GerardButler give me goosebumps every time I watch the movie. His powerful words, written by #ScottWilson, elevate the film to a whole nother level, giving a voice to Blue Zeus and all #wildhorses. @netflix.com

Sawyer & Captain are safe and out of the kill pen. They are heading to quarantine while we arrange their transport to #Skydog. THANK YOU to everyone who sent so much #love, #compassion, #kindness, and #support their way today, even in these uncertain times. You guys are heroes and I am so grateful.

These remarkable #wildhorses from different HMAs in #WY #NV #OR and #UT climb mountains daily to travel between 2 areas at #Skydog. They move more than any other #herd aside from Pete's, so they're muscled up and fit. It’s awesome to see them running back to their safety when Rogue gives the signal.

We’re fundraising for Sawyer & Captain, 2 senior mustangs born in 1997 and 2000. We don’t know how they landed in this kill pen facing shipping to slaughter. Deeply bonded, they’ve been together for decades and we’re determined to save them and keep them together. To Donate: bit.ly/3I1ucWT

It really is a love story for the centuries. The love of a band #stallion for his #mares. The love of a father for his children. The deep devotion of a stallion and his lead mare to each other. Family and freedom are everything to #wildhorses. It’s all there in #bluezeusthemovie
