Skydog is a non-profit Mustang Sanctuary in Oregon and Malibu, which rescues wild horses, burros, and reunites equine families torn apart during Bureau of Land Management roundups.
Our hearts are full of #gratitude as Phoenix’s #wildhorse #herd enters winter strong at a good weight. They spend snowy months in areas where we can supplement their diets and reach them if they need care. This #ThanksgivingDay and every day, we thank you for supporting our work.

When a 3yo #zebra named Ziggy meets a 9yo #zonkey named Zee the wild boy games begin. Zee, like a big brother, has a lot to teach young Ziggy, who needs the guidance. Read about Zee: bit.ly/3XJ4UVk Read about Ziggy: bit.ly/4pd2HOl

Chesney liked to graze green grasses on the hills, especially after the rain. He had a special place in his heart for Boots, a naughty mini-mule, even after he knocked Chesney off his warm rolling sand to roll in it himself:

What does it mean to be touched by an angel? Fletcher, Sawyer & Captain just found out! Saved from kill pens, these three senior #mustangs are now at #skydogsanctuary’s new ranch in #SantaYnez. They’ll have love, care, and kindness for the rest of their lives. Their story: bit.ly/4qPEWgv

That streak of white lightning racing the young #mare Sugar is Snow White, a #fleabittengrey from White River NV. To the BLM, she was unadoptable - her age & #swayback made her unrideable. To us, her value does not lie in her use, but in seeing her love her #wildhorse life. Her story: bit.ly/4obdbND

Severe #osteoarthritis makes it impossible for Eloise to run wild with our #burro herd. But #donkeys have their size and amazing healing abilities in their favor. We’ve seen miracles with our #longears. We are keeping her comfortable as she gets lots of stall rest, love, care, and good nutrition.

Here is the official #BlueZeus trailer. The dulcet tones of narrator #GerardButler give me goosebumps every time I watch the movie. His powerful words, written by #ScottWilson, elevate the film to a whole nother level, giving a voice to Blue Zeus and all #wildhorses. @netflix.com

These remarkable #wildhorses from different HMAs in #WY #NV #OR and #UT climb mountains daily to travel between 2 areas at #Skydog. They move more than any other #herd aside from Pete's, so they're muscled up and fit. It’s awesome to see them running back to their safety when Rogue gives the signal.

We’re fundraising for Sawyer & Captain, 2 senior mustangs born in 1997 and 2000. We don’t know how they landed in this kill pen facing shipping to slaughter. Deeply bonded, they’ve been together for decades and we’re determined to save them and keep them together. To Donate: bit.ly/3I1ucWT

Some beautiful new items in the #Skydog store to support the feed and care of our #wildhorse and #burro #rescues. Wild Boy, Violet & Spartacus grace these thick, stone #coasters and fridge #magnets. Quarried in the mountains east of Ephesus, handcrafted by artisans in SoCal. To order: bit.ly/3KObBCl

Donatello is an older #wildmustang, though you can’t tell by the way he runs! He went thru five adopters, countless trainers, starvation, seizure by law enforcement, and a couple rescues before finding lifelong #sanctuary at #Skydog. He’s part of a growing #herd of wild boys who love their freedom.

As Sheeps Rock glows in the setting autumn sun, we remember it was Oct 2017 when the BLM rounded up Goliath, a Salt Wells Creek #stallion, separating him from his family after 26 years free on the range. He and Red Lady, pregnant with their last foal Bodhi, were reunited at Skydog: bit.ly/42s0GV4

Herd checks across our 9000 acres in Oregon involve a lot of hiking on steep, rocky ground. It took Janelle a few days to track down Phoenix's band. You can see how far she had to go to get a good look at them before they ran away.
