  1. “What have I done, what have I done to you
    To make you feel this way?
    You feel the need to hunt me down
    And take my life away.
    You take my mates – take our children, too.
    Tell me please…
    What have I done to you?”

  6. Here is what ACE said in his letter to Santa a few years ago …

    I am an old wild stallion. I am told that I am one of the last Twin Peaks stallions. I have had a wonderful life as Mother Nature planned for me from the very day I was born. I lived the first 22 years free and wild and learned from my sire, dam, siblings and family band what was good for me to eat and where to find the fresh water springs that are hidden in the hills. I romped and played with the young colts and fillies in my extended family. Under the watchful protection of our family members, we young horses frolicked in the snow and creeks and rested in the shade of the old Juniper trees in the heat of the summer. Life was very good. I later grew to be a healthy, robust and compassionate herd stallion with beautiful loyal mares and amusing, vigorous offspring. Although I now have a good “retirement” life in a sanctuary with other displaced animals, my life in the wild was perfect for a wild one like me!

    I know you are very busy Santa, but today I am asking you to help all creatures that have not been as lucky as me. I have heard that there are fewer and fewer wild horses and burros that are allowed to live wild and free on their rightful range. I do not understand this but I do know it is wrong. What I am asking from you is for you to watch over and protect all animals and help them to be able to live their lives as Mother Nature intended for them. Do not allow them to be chased, harassed, trapped, caged, starved, abused and slaughtered.

    Although I live for today, I often warmly think about the “good old days” when hundreds of we wild ones roamed free. Where are my wild friends that I knew those many years? Where are my mares and foals today? Why was our family torn from each other and our peaceful and natural world destroyed? I have over-heard humans say that our life in the wild was traded for money. Santa, what is money? Could it possibly be more important than our wild hearts, lives, families and land?

    Santa, I will continue to dream of my days gone by but I am asking you today to watch over all creatures’ great and small and to teach all human beings to think with their hearts and to reason with their souls.

    Thank you, Santa.
    – “ACE”

    Memories of a Heartsore Mustang
    by Abigail

    I am running, my breath coming in jagged gasps
    I can feel and smell all the fear around me
    This big noisy predator chases us relentlessly
    I want to be free from it, but I cannot break away
    My feet hurt and I want to stop to rest, but I cannot
    I do not understand where this predator came from
    But I hope it will leave us, let us be free.

    I am separated from my family,
    Pushed together with unknown horses
    They are as scared and confused as I
    I am thirsty but the water tastes stale
    Where is the grass I am used to?
    All we have is some kind of forage it is dry
    And tasteless I long for my family and home
    But I am not set free

    We are pushed in a small space and examined
    I try to resist but they are stronger
    We are poked a prodded I hurt all over
    I try to remember the safety of the herd
    My true family but I cannot remember there scents
    They are lost to me.
