FWD: The two mares we rescued in Oklahoma made it home!
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
We are thrilled to share an exciting update with you about the two mares we rescued from an Oklahoma kill pen and who recently arrived at For The Love of Aria sanctuary in Colorado. They’ve been named! The beautiful bay mare is now called Meli and the stunning buckskin is named Catori.

However, we also have some unfortunate news to share. Due to our tireless efforts in funding numerous rescues of wild horses and burros, our Rescue Fund is almost completely depleted for the year. To make matters worse, we didn’t hit our $25,000 fundraising goal that we previously shared with you. Can you chip in right away to help us close the financial gap? >>
This is an incredibly crucial time for us. As Bureau of Land Management (BLM) helicopters descend upon more herds across the western states, more wild horses are at risk of entering the slaughter pipeline thanks to the BLM’s Adoption Incentive Program (AIP). We urgently need your assistance in replenishing our Rescue Fund to ensure that we can help save as many wild horses and burros as possible.

Your generosity, alongside other passionate wild horse advocates, has already made an immense impact. We are grateful to everyone who has supported our critical work.
We would like to share just a few of the incredible accomplishments we have achieved, thanks to your support.
We saved a young, pregnant mare named Amelia from a notorious Midwest kill pen, and she has since given birth to a healthy baby girl in the sanctuary!

Additionally, we helped rescue an elderly blind burro from a California auction, provided essential medical care, and helped fund his transport to a burro sanctuary, where he found a safe forever home.
And, of course, we funded and supported the rescue of Meli and Catori, the two beautiful mares who now reside at For the Love of Aria.
These are just a few examples of the hundreds of wild horses and burros we’ve been able to help over the years, thanks to individuals like you, Meredith. None of this would have been possible without your support. With our Rescue Fund nearly depleted, we are relying on you to help us continue this critical work of saving wild horses and burros.
