Good news! The number of cosponsors for the SAFE Act (H.R. 961), which would ban horse slaughter in the U.S. and the transport of American #horses for slaughter, has reached 234. TAKE ACTION: Send a message to your rep / senators: bit.ly/2MLsEmE #yes2safe #wildhorses 1/ Image

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 Image
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

Happy #FoalFriday!—Meet Neptune, a colt born on Friday, Feb. 21, at our #Lompoc, Calif., headquarters sanctuary, to Juno, a member of our Hart Mountain herd. His sire is Freedom. #horses 1/6 Image
At RTF, we have used the immunocontraceptive vaccine PZP since 2000 to allow stallions and mares to live together in their family bands while curbing the rate of reproduction. We’ve done so with a 91-98% efficacy rate, so we do welcome the occasional adorable foal. #horses 2/6 Image
RTF is a proponent of the use of safe, proven and humane fertility control as a key tool to slow wild horse and burro reproduction, allowing for he phase-out of the government’s nearly 50-year-old practice of capturing and removing wild horses. #horses 3/6 Image

Thread: Meet Ruby Tuesday! This filly was born to Diamond (at left in the video) overnight on Jan. 21 at our Lompoc, Calif., headquarters sanctuary. Ruby Tuesday’s sire is Samir, who, like Diamond, is descendent of our of foundation herd from Hart Mountain in Oregon. 1/6 #horses
At RTF, we use fertility control to manage our numbers. Occasional births come as a not entirely unwelcome surprise because, well, the foals are so darn adorable. 2/6 #horses
RTF advocates for the use of safe, proven and humane fertility control to slow–not stop--wild horse reproduction, allowing for minimally invasive on-range management of wild horses and the phase-out of the government’s practice of capturing and removing wild horses. 3/6 #horses

Thread: Azure was about 8 years old in 2015 when the BLM captured and removed him and 200 wild horses close to starving due to drought in an emergency roundup from the Wheeler Pass Joint Management Area near Cold Creek, Nev.. 28 severely emaciated #horses were euthanized. 1/5 Image
A wild horse enthusiast who had been photographing the herd was distraught when she learned that the BLM had captured and removed the horses she loved. RTF tracked down the horses to a ranch in Utah the agency had contracted with to feed the horses back to health. 2/5 #horses ImageImage
The photographer and local advocates were able to identify 10 of the horses that they were familiar with, including Azure, which grazed together on the range. The group is now thriving together on our 2,000-acre San Luis Obispo, Calif., satellite sanctuary. 3/5 #horses Image

*DAWN UPDATE*: We walked Dawn around the other night at the vet center to remind her that there's life outside of the stall where she’s remained since her emergency surgery for severe colic in the early hours of Oct. 22. 1/4 #horses
Our beloved beloved Sulphur Springs mare still lays down, but doesn't act like she's in pain. She is suffering from diarrhea and the vet clinic staff is feeding her frequent but smaller meals. She seems a bit depressed. 2/4
Our vet thinks she may do better now if she comes home. We are all excited about that and hope that she will continue to improve. Our in-residence volunteer will do night checks and feedings, and Dawn will be surrounded by friends in the open barn with much more room. 3/4
