Navigating the BLM holding facility auction was only the beginning. I found Divine and fought to keep the two foals, Trey and Divine, together.
Adopting a wild horse from the BLM became real when I arranged their transport and placement, marking the start of my lifelong responsibility to them.
How do I build trust with a scared horse? Trey and Divine showed me what quiet presence, patience, and care can do after fear and illness.
Wild horse training after adoption required clarity, kindness, and time. I began teaching Trey and Divine the human world without letting them lose themselves.
Introducing wild horses to my domestic herd meant Trey and Divine met Mocha and Lumina, and I watched herd life begin teaching them how to belong again.
A horse wildfire evacuation plan seemed simple until trauma entered the equation. When fire came close, I chose the least harmful path for Trey and Divine.
Living with my horses at home became a story of belonging when I created Peace Ranch for Trey, Divine, Mocha, and the rest of my family herd.
My wild horse rescue story ends by opening outward. I believe Trey and Divine are a bridge to children, stewardship, and the larger mission.
