The American Mustang may soon no longer run free. In 1971, Congress passed a law giving the horses federal protection. The law states that the horses are not to be hunted with aircraft, harassed or rounded up for slaughter.
But since 1971, the horses have been given no protection. Many are rounded up then sent to holding facilities for the remainder of their lives, others are sent around the country to adoption sites. Some are adopted. Horse Play, an equine rescue & sanctuary in Rhode Island has saved several mustangs from slaughter, vicitms of botched BLM adoptions. While they will never again run free with their families, they've made new ones here and will live out their lives at our sanctuary.
Horse Play wishes to thank the following photographers
Elyse Gardner, Laura Leigh, Craig Downer, RT & Terry Fitch, Jodie Sinclair, Sheila Ryan, Doug Learned and Deidre Sharp
