I come from a long time multi generation ranching family in wild horse country, they have very minimal impact on the range, in their current numbers, a small fraction of ranchers who try to run way too many cattle on very low quality range are the ones screaming about this, as well as mining companies. They are a symbol of the American Old West and MUST be preserved.
Agreed 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes, they are our history and and we can protect them as our Future
Just because you cannot see the effects does not mean they aren’t there. Horse numbers have been increasing since the 1970s and are currently about 3x bigger than what is considered ecologically sustainable. They have a larger per head water requirement than cattle and their overpopulation will reduce the available water access for native fauna and start further detrimental reduction of the water table. If you are truly from out west, I don’t have to explain how critical that already is. Their teeth structure allows them to pull plants out from the teoot (unlike cattle) which increases soil erosion and delays restoration of there repopulation of plant species. As one paper summarized it: “Collectively, the body of literature on unrestricted free-roaming-horse grazing demonstrates that horses have a substantial ecological impact in native upland and riparian plant communities. The ecological effects are probably greater than these studies suggest, because ecosystem recovery can be slow and because most exclusion studies are short term relative to the speed at which ecological properties are recovered following a disturbance”
Davies & Boyd “Ecological Effects of Free-Roaming Horses in North American Rangelands” BioScience volume 69 issue 7. 26 June 2019.
Liar.
Thank you, for your insight. Here are some recent stats: The environmental impact of cattle grazing on public lands is vastly greater than that of wild horses. Livestock overgrazing is responsible for the degradation of millions of acres of rangelands, while wild horses contribute to only a tiny fraction of this damage. Yet, despite this clear evidence, wild horses are often scapegoated and aggressively removed, while the more significant harm caused by cattle is largely ignored.
Imagine a powerful documentary that shines a light on the true culprits-private cattle, mining, and oil industries. These industries, driven by profit, inflict severe damage on our public lands, yet they escape scrutiny and accountability. Meanwhile, wild horses, symbols of freedom and the untamed spirit of the American West, are unjustly blamed and rounded up.
This film would expose the harsh realities of livestock overgrazing, revealing how it devastates ecosystems, erodes soil, and depletes water resources. It would contrast this with the minimal impact of wild horses, supported by scientific studies that even show how wild equids can positively affect the environment, such as increasing water availability in desert landscapes (PEER.org) (PEER.org) (American Wild Horse Conservation) (PEER.org).
By bringing these truths to light, the documentary could inspire a movement to protect our wild horses and demand more sustainable practices from the livestock, mining, and oil industries. It's time to end the scapegoating and hold the real culprits accountable for their environmental destruction.
Omg, this woman deserves every accolade there is for this. How did she find all the other horses and how lucky they had not been sold. I am in tears 😭😭😭! She should get the likes of the Nobel Prize for this incredible effort. Best story ever on Dodo, and I've been reading them all for years. This needs to be made into a movie, and she should gain national recognition for her efforts...The best story ever
I said the same thing !!! 😂❤
I agree you said it best. I was bawling 😭 my eyes out. The best rescue story ever on Dodo and all stories are amazing. But this earth angel 😇 above and beyond.
I completely agree ❤
Yes, Dodo - make this a movie!! Every animal lover will see it :D
Agree 1000%
Wild horses deserve to run free and be free.
It is so selfish & cruel of the BLM to do that to these
beautiful Horse's > they are a family!!
🙏🐎
This reminds me of the Disney movie Spirit wild and free where Spirit gets captured but later an indian rescues it and they escape together from their captors.
I totally agree
They are classified as national treasures!
To capture wild horses should be against the law! That's wrong! This woman is a hero! God bless her!
Well, this has been happening for many years. And I don't think they will stop until there are no more wild horses left in the wilderness other than the perawskie wild horse. Idk on you spell that word.
This reminds me of the Disney movie Spirit wild and free where Spirit gets captured but later an indian rescues it and they escape together from their captors.
they're not native and they're causing problems
Wasn't there wild Mustang too, some beach island on east coast?
And of course Indian ponies - after they were all rounded up on Reservations, the ponies were all killed off.
This was part of what the movie Dances with Wolves was trying to bring to public awareness.
@@sydney.g.sloangammagee8181 no, they're feral horses too
all 'wild' horses in the usa today are descendants of tame horses that got out or were released
there have not been native horses in the us for tens of thousands of years
Damn lady, you are the GOAT! You made me cry for all the right reasons, thank you! 🫶🏼❤️
Me too😢😥🙏🙏❤❤❤
This could absolutely be a full length motion picture! What a hero this woman is!! ❤❤❤
It should be and the proceeds should help support Skydog.
Absolutely correct it would be cool❤

@@jacquelineconquest6218 yeah. Never gonna happen. It will never be funded, blocked if made, never seen by the public.
I always cry my heart out when I see how these poor horses are treated. Humans are the biggest evil on this planet, so much abuse and suffering they create for wildlife and animals in general. This lady is true angel. I followed her work for few years now. 💜
NOT humans ...BIG BUSINESS.BIG BUSINESS IS THE CAUSE
humans are the only species capable of cruelty for cruelty’s sake.
I agree. We, humans, have done nothing to benefit this planet and all the other lives living on it. We simply should not be existing.
100 percent with you. Humans destroy everything
@@weitan7967I agree. I hope nature takes back what belongs to her. We are the problem. It’s so upsetting.
gawd this made me teary....that woman is a HERO
I can't stop crying.
Same!
I cried for joy
This is one of the most noble and consequential actions towards an animal group I have ever had the priviledge to watch. Without your help these would have been several lost horses somewhere in the trade. Now they are a bonded family again due to your persistance. Much respect.
There are no words that can describe the moment Blue Zeus was renighted with his family. Therefore, the best I have is simply amazing. Special love to the women who saved the whole family.
He ran to his family like a baby greeting daddy when dad gets home.
@celiashen5490 In my teenage years, I spent 10 years at a horse ranch I never seen a horse being so regal. Blue Zeus looks like the lead horse for the Royal Family. To say the least, Blue Zeus is a very special horse.
@@echoxstreamimg6483 Wholeheartedly, I agree. I'd bow and call him Sir.
This story would make a great movie.
This reminds me of the Disney movie Spirit wild and free where Spirit gets captured but later an indian rescues it and they escape together from their captors.
Please people give to horse sanctuaries! This makes me sick what the government has done to these free spirited animals! They round the horses up and kill them for dog food! We need to protect these beautiful creatures! Thank you so very much for saving the horse family! 🥹🥹❤️
That and glue.
People even eat their meat.
It is cattle ranching interests that push the destruction of wild horses.
This woman has an absolutely amazing soul and heart ❤
You are my hero, an actual angel for those gorgeous beauties! I hope you know, Zeus knows....., your North Star will always have a glimmer in his eyes for you.
We need a sensible documentary either from Netflix or HBO Prime & the like for her selfless efforts and the resiliency of Blue Zeus and his Family amidst of human corrupt & greediness morale.
Thank you for saving these magnificent animals
What a lady you are. Thank you 3000 horse much ❤❤
It's so MOVING to see the entire family follow Blue Zeus immediately upon reuniting! It reminds me of two close friends, who haven't seen each other in years, seemingly pick up their last conversation in mid-sentence.
Greed is evil!
Thank you for saving this beautiful family. You are amazing.
OMG, this woman is amazing!!!!
I saw Blue Zeus’ story before. He is a magnificent horse. The fact that you found all of his family and reunited them is a miracle. Thank you for being someone who cares.💞
Beautiful. Dodo made me tear up again.
You are a true hero. I applaud you for working so hard for
the lives of these horses. You have a heart of gold.
I am in tears and without words!!! The wild horse roundups are one of the cruelist acts I have ever seen against animals. Blessings to Skydog Sanctuary for the heart and determination to rescue beautiful Blue Zeus and his family! That celebration dance of joy was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!!! Blessings to Blue Zeus, his family, Skydog Sanctuary. 😊💖🙏🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
This broke my heart but now I’m crying happy tears! Thank you for the link for donations on the sanctuary
What a beautiful stallion! He is magnificent!
I love seeing the wild horses here in Alberta, they bring tears to my eyes because they represent freedom.
A truly heartwarming story ❤️❤️❤️
My little 'thumb's up' doesn't quite cut it - this lady deserves a Nobel! Thank you Skydog Sanctuary for your magnificent work!
God Bless you for doing this Rescue!!❤
What a wonderfull story. I cried for his hapiness. Thank you for saving them from A fan from Europe
Thank you for taking care of all these horses. ❤God bless!!
Thank you a million times over my dear friend for giving Zeus his family back! Sending you hugs from across the world. ❤
To this woman, THANK YOU 🙏🏼 for rescuing this entire herd. What a BEAUTIFUL & MAGNIFICENT BLESSING! 💙🐎
Thank you so much for saving this family 🙏🏼
This story reduced me to tears. This woman is an absolute hero and she deserves every bit of praise that she receives for this heroic effort. I would love to see this story made into a full length movie about Skydog Sanctuary and the search for Blue Zeus and his family. ❤❤❤
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am Hughes

@@HughesRalph More likely that you're in Nigeria and just another scammer. Either way, I'm not interested.
tears flowed down my cheek when Blue Zeus was reunited with
his family!! thank you for giving them a home where they can
be free to roam.
What an amazing and beautiful tear jerking story😢😢 you saved this horse and so many people thank you from the bottom of our heart for doing this. I can't believe they would just sell the horse for 25.00 that is just sad there is no price to be put on an animal like him he's priceless.
I agree a movie about this would be incredible.❤❤❤
I've seen this 10 times and 10 times I cried 😢... thank you
Absolute tears! Wow! How beautiful are they!?
Thank you for saving them!
From the bottom of my heart...thank you for interceding on behalf of the entire herd. I share your feelings about wild horse round ups and wish we could just let them be...seeing them reunited was wonderful...God bless...
Thank you very much for helping ❤❤🙏🙏
I never get tired of Blue Zeus’s story! My aunt Shari just spent six wonderful days at your sanctuary! Please keep up the great work!
Thank God people like her exist. I loved this story so much. Thank you!

Thank you Clare for all of the work you do and have done to help wild horses and burros through Skydog Ranch Sanctuary.
Women and good men are changing the way farm animals and horses are being cared for. Abuse has been too rife.
Please donate to Clare's non-profit if you can or spread the word about her sanctuary with Blue Zeus to people who can afford to donate!! Thank you ALL who love wild horses!!
What a cool story. Thank you for making this happen. He looked so "manly", trotting out to greet them with his head held high and his mane flowing. What a precious thing you did.
WOW that's some kinda love this lady has for these Magnificent Majestic Equine's.God Bless her ❤🧍♀️🌹❤️🐎🌹❤️🐎🌹❤️🐎🌹❤️🐎🌹❤️🐎🌹❤️🐎🌹❤️🐎🌹❤️🐎🌹❤️🐎🌹❤️🐎🌹😇🙏👍🤗⭐
This video brought me to tears. 😥
The ending was absolutely wonderful!!!🥰
Hats off to this rescuer for not giving up.👏
Tysm for being that person, we need more like you.
What a beautiful ending to a sad story. Thank you to those who save these wonderful animals! 💞
Made me cry. God bless this wonderful woman!
Animals are sentient beings,they are someone they deserve rights !
Omg, I have tears in my eyes. This is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever seen! God bless you. There’s a place in heaven for people like you who loves God’s creatures as I do! You are an extraordinary wonderful good hearted person! 😇🥰❤️
Made me cry.
I have always been a horse lover.
God bless you for what you do.

Woman, you have me crying. What a beautiful soul and heart you have. I know all of these horses love you and thank you. They know what you did for them, especially Zeus he knows..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My heart is absolutely bursting with happiness and Tears!! That you brought him and his family back together is nothing short of a Miracle!! Thank you 😊 a million times thank you!! 😊😊❤❤❤✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
My father's side of the family lived in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. On a few occasions, we got to see wild horses. It was an honor and a privilege to see them.
Please keep the people who might be ranchers from not knowing about this.
@@Alex-ft1df The whole county knows about them and give them free reign. They've even named them. Someone would know if any went missing. As far as I know it's always been this way. As it should be.
Wow just WOW this brought me to tears ❤😊 thank you for saving them ❤
Bless her and thoughs trying to save the wild horses of America !!!❤
What a beautiful story. Thank you for protecting them and brought the family back together and give them freedom.
Wow that made me cry. Thank you for saving that beautiful herd!
What a beautiful story. Thank you for bringing Zeus home and reuniting him with his family
You are an amazing person.
I watched this video with tears in my eyes. An amazing woman did an amazing job. If this horse could talk, he would say many thanks for saving and reuniting his family.
Please make a movie or full documentary out of this. It's a testament to Spirit.
I didn't expect myself to be mad, cheer, and then bawl just from watching this video. This woman is incredible!!!! Go Blue Zeus!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Finally a happily ever after story !!! This woman deserves the nobel peace prize. She brought peace to these innocent wild animals. Without her, it never would have happened. Thank you so much sweetie !! 😘❤🐎
How can we buy a poster of Blue Zeus ?? That photographer should give you at least half the procedes to help feed and care for the herd. ❤ I will buy a poster !! Also, you need to write a book and use that photo as the cover. Maybe the photographer gets the illustration and you write the story. The whole story of your painstaking journey to get them back. Also, find someone who will make a documentary film about your fight. It looks like you have recorded the process. Now have someone put it all together in a documentary. All that money should help you take care of the herd and find someone to fill your shoes later on. ❤❤❤❤
I wish people could be taught to be that woman. Imagine what could beacomplished
This woman is just amazing. I'm speechless!
That is just beautiful.

Brought tears to my eyes. What a lovely human being you are. I'm a 74 year old male and have been a crazy horse lover all my life, and this video really got to me.
Wow! What a beautiful story! ❤ Thank you for reuniting this family. I don’t understand how so many people think animals have no feelings… in my opinion, they are better 🤓 than a lot of humans. ❤️
This woman is a true hero. My heart was about to burst with happiness at seeing him reunited with his family to run wild and free once again. What a blessing!
🐎 SKYDOG, I can't thank you enough for saving Blue Zeus and his whole family. This is the greatest thing that we can do for these incredibly strong, beautiful horses. It's so heart breaking that they were ever separated. THANK YOU ! ! ! ! !
Such a beautiful story! ❤❤❤ This put a huge smile on my face! Thank you for all you do!! ❤🙏
Oh my lord. This brought tears to my eyes. Tears of joy and happiness. You are a heroin my lady ❤❤❤
Ug ❤ bawling my eyes out!!!
Bless you for saving them!!!
Blessings ❤❤❤❤❤
Leave it to the government to ruin what little is left of the natural, untouched side of this country.
It’s not the “government” per se, but the BLM listening to the ranchers and mining companies that want the range for their own use. They have powerful lobbyists in DC and that’s who the government is listening to; the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
@@sherinnovak729 And lobbyists go through who? Money is more important than people, and certainly, by proxy, more important than animals. And that ideology extends far beyond partisanship.
Wild mustangs are most definitely not native to America. Brought in by Spaniards.
Our government is SO EVIL
@@toogie6267 Thank you. People seem to forget that like starlings, modern horses are an invasive species, yet it's always starlings being put on blast for existing in a land they didn't ask for.
This made me cry. Thank you for reuniting Zeus with his family. You are an incredible person. ❤
Love and respect to that WOMAN kind and logical. Much blessings for you and family
I'm not crying, you're crying. What an amazing human being and story.

You are a very human person❤❤❤❤
The Skydog Sanctuary people are so brilliant. I follow them on Insta, all their posts makes me cry, and I'm not a horse person!
Thank you!
What an incredible, beautiful story 😍
Blue Zeus's story always makes me cry 🥲
Bless you. As humans, we take horses for granted. They do form bonds with each other and to take them away from their family is like taking humans away from their family.
Wonderful story💞
Incredible, beautiful. Bless Blue Zeus, his family and all human, horse, other at Skydog sanctuary.
Obrigado ❤
This woman deserves a medal,what she did is amazing,to bring this stallion's family herd back to him,it brings tears to my eyes,beautiful animals.❤
this woman is such a wonderful person, to reunite b zeus with hes family, the time and dedication she put in to make this happen, i think she deserves a medal.
You are my hero!!! I'm sobbing watching this. I am always fighting for these wild horses, probably to no avail, but I will never stop. What's being done is not right. When you watch these cruel roundups and realize that this is only one family of God-knows-how many, it is sickening. Thank you for what you do. This points out how we are all losing our freedom in this country to large monetary concerns. Soon there will be nothing left of the beauty of our remaining wild West.
What a majestic,handsome horse...and a beautiful family reunited ❤

Now they can RUN FREE .. BLESS THEM ALL 🐴❤🐴❤🐴
❤️
I've got tears streaming down my face...because no video has ever made me happier (or more impressed) with the woman and team who loved and saved these magnificent horses. With all my heart I thank you for your determination and perseverance.
This is the most heartbreaking and heart warming story at the same time. Thank you for all the work you did to find and bring this family back together to live their natural life which is their right on Mother Earth.
It’s so sad that anything living being has a price on its head. €25!
You are an angel

It is amazing that they were able to reunite the whole family! Blue Zeus was SO happy; his high-stepping trot when he first reunited with everyone was just bequtiful. You could really see how happy he was.
So, MANY THANKS to everyone at Skydog Sanctuary for all their hard work! AND,
Happy trails, to Blue Zeus and his family, for ever and ever!!!!!!
