Abuse... Doesn't sit well in your mind does it? Slaughter...Not a pretty word is it? Mustang...Land stripping parasite you might think right?
WRONG! All of it is wrong. Claiming to do what is in a horses best interest or the breeds best intrest in order to help your money flow or to keep people happy isn't right. That would be like rounding up all of the people who are not the vision of what people think is perfect...and killing them. Kind of like the Holocaust. No one is perfect. It is impossible to be perfect.
Herds of mustangs are rounded up yearly. People say that they will be adopted out and find good homes. The truth of that is that not all of them will find good people...the rest don't find people at all. They get taken to the slaughter house instead.
Clouds herd is a descendant of the Banker ponies. As of September 1st they will be rounded up to a herd size of 70. The ones that get rounded up include older horses, mares, and foals. They don't want to be killed in a slaughter house. A herd size of 70 will genetically kill these animals also.
What goes through someones mind on deciding that this is the "right" thing to do to any horse? Everyday horses are lined up to be killed. Why? People have gone materialistic. Horses serve no purpose to them. They don't want people finding out about this kind of stuff...that's because they don't want to ruin their image and they realize that it's wrong.
They want to create something picture perfect. The fact is that nothing is picture perfect. Our mustangs are more picture perfect than a show ring, professionally trained, inbred, thoroughbred. Our horses stand for something. Hate us and look down on us all you want and think your so much better and could show our horses up but your no better than us if you think that gets you somewhere and I bet your horses mind frame has been warped by your own.
Took this pic myself. A friendly little green snake who was about to shed his skin. Our horses can't shed their skin or image or reputation.
Although the Cloud herd shares certain genes with the Corollas, it is not quite accurate to say that they descend from the Corollas. Both share common Spanish ancestory.
