if it wasn’t for all the kind words and great feed back I’d have stopped writing a year ago girls. So in truth, it is thanks to you all that this blog, that my stories, and my poems are still floating around GHC. THANKS TO MY FAVORITE BARN GALS!

I love this blog! I can just picture a herd of wild horses, looking almost like prehistoric creatures, snorting out white clouds and pawing through the cold snow to find the barest morsels of food…lol. Great job Violet!

Violet, what you write is so inspiring. Thoughts about wild horses can take you to amazing places where you learn more about them, about life. You’re absolutely right, we have to remember and appreciate the simple joys we have. I can feel when I was reading that a lot of heart has been put into this. I love the part you said about mustangs and their freedom compared to rivers – that was genius! You’ve empowered me to go tackle those round-ups!

Oh, Violet, you know how to make someone cry. You speak from the heart of everyone and this is a piece more people should read. What you said is what has been on my mind for years. Soon, will there be no mustangs to glimpse? I fear the same and I won’t doubt so does everyone here. Let them hear our battle cry! We will fight for our Mustangs!

Well I agree of course with saving the mustangs. However we need to appeal to the source of the problem, our government. Contacting our representatives is one of our best bets right now. The government peoples are in charge of these roundup laws and the BLM follows orders. To fight we gotta write so get those letters sent to your representatives.

VI- Your blog has painted a beautiful picture in my mind of horses in a snow storm. It reminds me of a time I went down to my neighbor’s house and his herd of horses ran to me through the snow. You make a beautiful and wonderful point each time you write. I LOVE your style of writing. Keep it up!!!

I loved this. It’s so true.
Even if you don’t believe that mustangs are awe-inspiring and beautiful, as I do, look at it this way: the BLM is using my mom & dad’s tax money to pay for roundups that aren’t even necessary!

This is simply beautiful. Now, I will forever picture a herd of mustangs whenever I need something to think about. This is a great informational topic, and I love how you made it very interesting and thought-provoking. I think that the BLM needs to stop this madness before it gets out of hand – which it already has. The mustangs should never become that river, but they will if all of them are captured by BLM. This is because they will no longer have the freedom they wish to have, and will have to follow the path laid before them by the BLM. STOP THIS MADNESS.

This is great. Truly great. I loved the way you discribed the thoughts of the stallion, mares, and the energetic foals. It is true, as you have stated, they can fight a blizzard, but not the cruel BLM. I like the way you put nice details such as ‘more majestic than an eagle, and their freedom is greater than a river’s.’ Beautiful. Awesome job, Violet!
