Freedom for Wild Horses with Carol J. Walker | Tales from Salt Wells Creek

Are you curious about the wild horses living in one of the largest herds in Wyoming? If so, then listen in as I take you on a tour of Salt Wells Creek. I’ll describe the horse families that live there, the uniqueness of some of the horses, and the very real danger they’re facing.

Salt Wells Creek HMA (Herd Management Area) is the largest in Wyoming. Most of this land is gently rolling hills with buttes and beautiful rock formations, tall ridges, and includes Aspen and Mellor mountains. My first memorable encounter with wild horses in this area consisted of two families of wild horses. There was a beautiful blue-eyed buckskin stallion with a wide blaze who made me laugh at his expression. He had a large family of Sorrel mares and a foal. I learned that his name was Scarface.

Today, I want to introduce you to a few of my “friends.” There’s the Curly stallion named Bubba. The Cremello foal, Julian. The bay roan stallion Valentino. The stallions Blaze and Silverado. The mares Lavender and Genevieve, and so many more. It is truly amazing how tough these wild horses are, possessed with a deep will and spirit to survive and live free. Let’s make sure photographs and memories are not all that is left of these herds.

    Another excellent podcast episode. I have long read about wild horses living on US public lands, but I continue to learn new details and clarify old issues through listening to your Wild Hoofbeats podcast. When I briefly lived in Grand Junction, Colorado, I so enjoyed visiting the Little Bookcliffs wild horse area. It was stunning to see wild horses out West after reading about them all my life. It is something I hope future generations are able to do as well. Thank you for continuing your work to preserve wild horses on our public lands.

    Wild horses all over this country need to be left alone. They are part of the American history, the cattle and the sheep are decimating the grazing lands.
    These wild horses have been here for many, many years since the 1800s or before, so why can’t people just leave them alone and do not for God’s sake, send them to slaughter. That is the most horrific thing you could do to a horse. And it breaks my heart when people do that.
