For 1 more day, your donation to RTF will do even more to keep wild horse family bands, like Chief and Shuwa's band, together.

Until Friday at 11:59 p.m. East / 8:59 p.m. West, @GlobalGiving is matching donations up to $50 at 50% at bit.ly/2WDMpn6 #horses 1/6

The difference between $50 and $75 made possible by the matching campaign is the difference between treating two mares with fertility control and treating three mares ($25 covers the cost of the vaccine PZP plus adjuvant in one dart). #horses 2/6

Safe, proven and humane PZP allows us to keep stallions and mares together, providing as natural of a lifestyle as we can while responsibly managing our numbers. #horses 3/6

At our sanctuary, home to well over 500 wild horses and burros in four locations, we have a lot of mares to treat. Our Gila herd alone includes 63 mares! #horses 4/6

More than two decades ago, RTF became the fourth large project in the world to treat mares with PZP: a non-hormonal, reversible fertility control effective at slowing down reproduction in wild mammals. #horses 5/6

Because it is non-hormonal, PZP does not affect the endocrine system or natural behaviors, create negative health side effects or enter the food chain, harming other wildlife. YOU CAN HELP: Please consider making a donation at bit.ly/2WDMpn6 #horses 6/6
