My Nonprofit Reviews

Wild Horse Connection is a hands on nonprofit and I try to help in anyway I can. I would give them 100 Stars if I could. They put Blood Sweat and Tears into protecting and caring for our wild horses daily. You see them out there building fences, gates even cattle guards and face the trauma and death of our beautiful wild ones constantly trying to navigate in a world filled with humans. There are also those heartbreaking events, that we have had more of recently; our horses being hit by cars trying to cross the highway. Fences are needed and water troughs to keep them from being killed. They are out there on weekends building fences, digging, leading horses away from danger even horse poop cleaning weekends What ever it takes!
A week ago, in the late evening the flashing horse crossing sign was not working, no fencing along the side of the road they found two horses were hit and killed crossing the street, The road dark . What they witnessed was brutal and hard to see, not to mention after, they went to check on the remainder of the band to make sure there were no others injured, they came across one of the horses and he was fine, then found the stallion wandering another street smelling the ground trying to pick up the scent of his mares.

The emotional hits kept coming as they continued to drive finding his family hiding in the shrubs all huddled together, went back and caught up with the stallion and guided him back toward his band. He proceeded to move them towards an empty field where they will go to morn the loss of their family members. Seeing the stallion looking for his family the tragedy continues but they keep working even in the dead of night despite morning would come soon and back out they will go.
As a spiritual Grief and loss/violent loss Counselor I know the emotional pain that they also suffer with critical incidents like this recent one but they are out there even in the wee hours of the morning. Guiding a mare and her foal away from danger.
It seems they have little personal time as They are out there on weekends building fences, picking up trash, digging, provide water resources in the higher range so the horses stay high up and not down on our community, leading horses away from danger, training rescues, what ever it takes! Even horse poop cleaning weekends. All money that is donated goes for a worthy cause!
