ACTION ALERT: BLM is asking for constructive and thoughtful comments on how to manage Wyoming’s Great Divide Basin Wild Horse Herd. We ask that you recommend alternatives that will allow horses to remain free with their family bands, “on the range.” Comment deadline is Friday, Jan. 10, 2014. Please, make your comments respectful and insightful. Go to this link for help with your comments: http://www.thecloudfoundation.org/take-action-what-you-can-do/60-taking-action-for-wh-b/407-your-comments-are-needed

A group of Salt Wells wild horses take off over a rise (Wyoming). These are some of the beautiful horses in danger of being permanently removed from their rangeland homes. You can read more about it here: http://www.thecloudfoundation.org/news-events-and-media/press-releases/326-fed-l-government-plans-to-eliminate-wild-horses-from-2-million-acres-of-wyoming-public-land-to-satisfy-livestock-industry

This is Bolder’s band (last year) from the Pryor Mountains of Montana enjoying the early morning. It’s not a particularly beautiful image, but it “feels” peaceful to me.

From The Cloud Foundation, The BLM Billings Field Office mailed a Scoping Letter to interested parties on July 28th, stating their intent to reach an “Appropriate” Management Level (AML) of 90-120 adult wild horses, one year of age and older in the Pryor Mountains. If they carry out this plan 45 to as many as 75 horses would be removed in 2012. Please write a factual letter to the BLM using some of the information at the following link: Pryor Facts for Scoping Input 2011. Letters need to be postmarked to the BLM by August 30th. No e-mails will be accepted. Letters can be addressed to:

Jim Sparks, Field Manager
BLM Billings Field Office
5001 Southgate Drive
Billings, MT 59101

Sand Wash Basin HMA near Craig, Colorado. The wild horses are the jewels in our western landscapes…

Please help our wild ones – oppose the precedent-setting decision for the Little Colorado and White Mountain HMAs to geld all stallions and make this Mustang population “non-reproducing.” Click on the link below to learn more and act: http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/6931/t/0/blastContent.jsp?email_blast_KEY=1168526

At the suggestion of many folks and facilitated by several rainy days, I’ve designed what I hope is a thought-provoking image to help promote awareness of the wild horse situation. Now available on t-shirts and sweatshirts through my website: Pam Nickoles Photography

Donations will benefit the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign (a coalition of many organizations I support) and The Cloud Foundation. I will also make the shirts available to other deserving foundations, rescues, sanctuaries, etc. as part of their fundraising efforts. Full details are listed in the product descriptions on my website. Shipping is available worldwide.

To those of you that order shirts, I’d love to see photos of you wearing them. Please feel free to share your images by e-mailing them to me at: info@NickolesPhotography.com

I may feature them on my website, Facebook page or on this Blog, so be sure you grant permission to do so when you e-mail. Let’s make this more interesting – I’ll feature a Blog post with photos I receive along with any stories of conversations initiated or questions asked, etc. while wearing your shirt. It’s intended purpose. Anything you’d like to share, I’d love to hear.

For our wild horses…

In white. (The copyright will not be printed on the actual shirt)

In black. (The copyright will not be printed on the actual shirt)

I will be adding more designs, eventually creating a collection to choose from.

Orders can be placed here: http://www.nickolesphotography.com/p1070051135//
