Our Mother’s Day Message comes to you from our very good friend and fellow Wild Horse and Burro Advocate, Ginger Kathrens of the esteemed Cloud Foundation
A New Cloud Colt is Born!
Dear Friends of Cloud, his family, and the Pryor herd;
Every trip to the spectacular Pryor Mountains is full of wonder, but no season holds the promise of discovery more than spring. A handful of new foals have been born and our friend and Pryor wild horse adopter (Cloud’s granddaughter Summer), Patty Hooker, sent us a picture of the latest foal to be born on the mountain, and it is an exciting one to be sure. Feldspar, who Cloud stole from Flint in December of 2010, gave birth to a colt this week, just in time for Mother’s Day! When we last saw Cloud’s family in April, Feldspar looked very pregnant.
This is just the fourth colt Cloud has sired. Of those, only Bolder survives, but he was raised by Shaman. I hope Cloud will be able to raise this little one, and that he will live his life in precious freedom. I can’t wait to see if he roans out. My bet is that he will. What do you think?
This weekend, we honor not only the Pryor mustang mothers, but moms everywhere–four-leggeds as well as two!
Happy Trails!
Ginger
We at SFTHH and Wild Horse Freedom Federation join Ginger and the Cloud Foundation in wishing all mothers, a joyous and wonderful day!!

Straight from the Horse's Heart 
Happy Mother’s Day to all!….we all have mothers and without them, where would we be? Thank you Mom, and grandma. Thank you to our wildlife mothers too…..without them we wouldn’t have the beauty that is Nature.
Thanks, Ginger et al for sharing the beauty of these special gifts of Nature and the beauty of their wide-open space.
p.s. somebody ought to shove Cloud’s reproductive history up DOI/USDA’s noses (I’d pick another bodily orifice). They keep insisting these magnificent creatures breed like coach-roaches or rats….oh, that’s right, don’t the equine killers call them “coach-roaches of the Plains” and “rats of the West”?

I agree Lisa , it is not an easy process for a mare to foal, most will lose there foals, they can lose them in an instant…. Mother Nature knows exactly what she doing , she handles the balance ….. Over Population Hog Wash !!!!!especially in the Wild !!!!!

Our only hope is that God will help us in this fight to save all these beautiful babies. The thought of their happiness ending makes me ill, when it all can and should be avoided at any and all costs.
What lovely pictures. Thank you for being there to bring us these pictures..This is why we fight so hard and will never ever give up! I hope when I do get a chance to visit the area there still will be wild horses there.
