To date, Skydog has rescued over 300 wild horses and 50 donkeys and mules, with a special focus on finding and reuniting bonded families who may have once roamed the American West together but were separated during the roundup process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGorgeously illustrated with hundreds of dramatic photographs, The Wild Boys of Skydog features more than fifty horses who once, as stallions, roamed western public lands. They lived freely, loving and protecting their bonded partners and family bands until roundup separated them from their herds and forced them into captivity, and often abuse and neglect. Staples recounts their tales of lost liberty and the dramatic extent to which some Mustangs will go to flee captivity or rejoin their family bands. The Skydog team identifies, locates, and secures captured wild horses—often saving them from notorious kill pens—ensuring their lifelong freedom at the sanctuary and, when possible, in the company of their original wild herdmates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncredibly moving and inspiring, The Wild Boys of Skydog illuminates the plight of wild herds, showcasing their beauty and resilience and honoring the iconic inhabitants of the American West.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA percentage of all sales goes toward supporting Skydog Ranch and Sanctuary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trafalgar Square Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":51829861810449,"sku":"9781646012763","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/6890\/3185\/files\/cover_7a69a3c0-f4bc-4b2d-83f6-7ded77527a52.jpeg?v=1776864157"},{"product_id":"wild-horses-of-skydog","title":"Wild Horses of Skydog","description":"\u003cp\u003eExperience the untamed beauty and unbreakable bonds of America’s wild Mustangs in this breathtaking photographic tribute.In Skydog: The Wild Mustang Sanctuary, founder Clare Staples shares the heart-rending and hope-filled stories of wild horse families torn apart by government roundups—and the extraordinary efforts to reunite them.
