BABY BLUE
Baby Blue is the son of the magnificent stallion BLUE of the Pine Nut herd in Nevada, and brother to Samson and Jet who are at Skydog. Sadly Baby Blue ended up in a bad situation with less-than-ideal caretakers and “trainers”. The very good news is that the adopter reached out for help and asked if we could rescue Baby Blue and give him back the freedom he lost and needs. Thankfully for us and Baby Blue, Pine Nut Wild Horse Advocates offered to help us get him to safety and Skydog and we are so thankful to them for their incredible donation and dedication to their horses. Even though he’s the son of a hugely loved and admired stallion on the range, he is also a wild horse in need and we are going to make sure he is able to run free again after years in a tiny dirty corral. #skydogbabyblue

Mustangs & Burros Need Your Help
In addition to supporting our work by donating, becoming a patron on Patreon, or sponsoring a Skydog, there are several important pieces of legislation to protect American equines currently moving through Congress. It only takes a few minutes to contact your Rep and Senators and urge them to support these bills:
Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act of 2023 (H.R. 3475 in the House / S.2307 in the Senate). This bill will shut down the slaughter pipeline that sends some 20,000 American horses and donkeys to savagely monstrous deaths in foreign slaughterhouses every year.
The Wild Horse & Burro Protection Act of 2023 (H. R. 3656) This bill will prohibit the use of helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft in the management of wild mustangs and burros on public lands, and require a report on humane alternatives to current management practices.
Ejiao Act of 2023 (H.R. 6021). To ban the sale or transportation of ejiao, a gelatin made from boiling donkey skins, or products containing ejiao in interstate or foreign commerce, which brutally kills millions of donkeys primarily for beauty products and Chinese medicine.
