Short History, Page 6 Those three horses simply lucked out. They shared shelter and feed with the cattle on the farm. Once they were up to about 12 head they were released. The wild horses returned to the pine forest. In 1992 the herd was over 30. By '97 this number had fallen to 17. All the mares and one stallion were moved to a Preserve in their old habitat in the forest in 2004.. Several more deaths occurred from pre existing conditions. For four years the herd has been holding at eight. For several years attempts have been made to bring in an equine reproduction expert.. Delays have plagued progress. Arkwild, Inc. a 501 © 3 in the U.S. supports the horses. |
