“It’s New Year’s Day and because it is the first official New Year Day of the Year of the Horse (started Jan 31st, 2014 and ends Feb. 18th, 2015) we have been asked to repost this holiday story of love and enlightenment. At SFTHH and WHFF we volunteers wish you and yours the very best in the upcoming year and sincerely hope that this will actually be the “Year of the Horse” for both our domestic and wild horses and burros as we address issues of abuse, neglect and slaughter. With persistence and dedication we may find ourselves REALLY celebrating next New Year as we have worked ourselves out of business with resolutions being found to the issues that haunt and torment our equine friends. Keep the faith, it is all coming within reach. Happy New Year to all!” ~ R.T.

Quietly, while most Americans made plans for holiday festivities several major milestones occurred this month that will enhance the safety and security of American equines during the upcoming new year. The activities of salvation seemed to occur unnoticed but we at SFTHH and WHFF want you to be well informed and perhaps even celebrate a bit over what has occurred.

A Christmas reflection by R.T. Fitch ~ pres/co-founder of Wild Horse Freedom Federation It just doesn’t get any better than this! It is a special Christmas for me this year, simply put; I am home. Due to my rotational, international schedule my paying job finds me on the […]
“Today is the last ‘Feel Good Sunday’ before Christmas 2014; a magical day indeed, and for me the day bears great significance as I am home and will remain here over the holidays as it has been several years since we have experienced such a luxury. With that said, I have resumed my duties of making dinner for the boys in the barn and feel the warmth that their souls and spirits bring to our lives. Being that I am still suffering jet lag I have not sat and contemplated their essence but still they have managed to brush a few cobwebs away from my aging brain. And today, we share with you a story that I wrote some years ago after spending a special evening in our former barn with the same souls, with some sadly departed, that bring us joy today. You can take this tale with a grain of salt or you may kindly grant me a little bit of literary license but none the less, our equine companions have a story to tell if only we will slow down and shut up long enough to listen. Enjoy this day my most special and valued friends. Keep the faith.” ~ R.T.
