On the 9th of July, one week since I brought the baby wild
horses home, I spent most of that day sitting and observing Inanna and
Hidalgo. That first week was a time of
learning how to read their energetic boundaries. I sat in a chair in their run. After about 30 minutes of circling, turning
away where their energetic comfort zone ended, Inanna boldly approached me and
took hay from my hand. Here is a clip of
that first close connection:
Then I sat outside their corral, got sleepy and laid
down. Much to my surprise, the babies
laid down inside their run as well! This was the first time I experienced how
energetically sensitive they were to my energy; when my energy went down,
theirs did, too.
I started a daily practice of cutting green grass and
placing it in their run.
Inanna (the dark filly,) kept trying to nurse on Hidalgo’s
penis. Hidalgo was very patient with
her. These babies who were only 5-6
months old, were pulled off of their moms much earlier than they would have
been weaned in the wild.
As I observed this, I could hear the sad whinnies of their
mothers as we drove away from the corrals in Craig, Colorado two days ago. My heart broke over the hard realities that
challenge our wild horses. We have way too
many wild horses, and not enough designated land to support them due to laws
and regulations that need revamping.
I felt challenged and also honored to have the privilege of
raising these two baby wild horses. Inanna
and Hidalgo are my mascots for my campaign to advocate for our wild horses in a
powerful, positive way.
