I have so many memories of Stone Cabin and her wild horses. I have seen wild horses born in Stone Cabin. I have watched stallions age and fight for mares, win them, against much younger and stronger stallions. The value of the wise fighter.

In Stone Cabin I have seen big horn sheep, kit fox, hawks and the herds of curious pronghorn whose babies bounce in the spring like graceful pieces of popcorn as you walk over a rise.

I am grateful that we still have places like this left in our country.

However today I travel these areas and I see how fast it is disappearing . Public awareness of this treasure, the danger to it and how to use their voices is critical.

Stone Cabin is a favorite place to bring journalists because of the history; the program and ours. Recently a story appeared in the New Yorker by a young film maker that has gone on to create a documentary on the BLM prison training program.

Last month I took two groups of journalists out to Stone Cabin that were looking for a deeper story on our wild horses. Maybe their voices will reach new ears?

I did my best to give them

Wild Horse Education.
