ties of the pryor mountain wild horses pryorwild following the activities of the pryor mountain wild horses tell a story zane grey goes home by nancy cerroni when i taught second grade my students learned the elements of story throughout the year they became immersed in the characters setting problem and resolution by reading and writing lots of great stories i think of this often when i am up in the mountains watching the wild horses many times it is just basic observation with horses going about their normal business of grazing and resting this is where frequent horse watching is important as it becomes possible to discern the point when normalcy transitions into something different something that develops into a perfect time to tell a story let me tell you about one such event that happened on september 30 2025 first off here is an outline of the story elements characters three bands involved horizon knight and shoshone setting near mystic pond on a cool breezy fall day problem will zane grey find his way back to his mother resolution stay tuned and find out from the start willow s new foal zane grey showed some bonding issues as he first wanted to connect with his grandmother quahneah before the young willow realized she was his mother as often typical with young mothers willow hasn t developed strong maternal instincts which allows her young foal to stray away from her side now at nearly a month old zane grey and his mother are with the stallion horizon even now zane was showing that tendency to get a little too far from the protective care of willow on this day a group of horses were on a rocky slope just above mystic pond the young foal caught our attention as it stood close to a roan horse a quick inventory of horses revealed that the foal was zane grey and the roan was knight the question is why was zane so close to the stallion and secondly why was mom willow uninterested in the fact that her very young son was hanging out with a strong band stallion at first knight tentatively checked out the young horse after that they moved closer together and checked out each other with a gentle nuzzling touch introducing each other with smell horizon took a quick look over but showed no concern as he soon walked away knight s mare quintana also glanced up for a brief moment willow had wandered off a short distance and looked off in the opposite direction soon after all the adults moved off a short distance and left zane resting under the branches of the pine tree meanwhile shoshone s band gathered together and moved up from mystic pond circling around the resting foal the young one caught the attention of first ruby and then taiga two mares in shoshone s large band the two mares inched over to zane with curiosity and a possible early onset of maternal instinct ruby shows interest as does taiga ruby and taiga with zane ruby quickly lost interest in the colt but taiga did something totally unexpected she began moving the foal out of his private place under the tree i have seen instances when a mare will make attempts to take a young foal as their own is this what taiga had planned she moved him heading first in one direction then gradually shifted him in another it soon became clear that taiga s full intention was to return the foal to his mother she nudged him gently with her nose and body position keeping him in direct alignment to where willow and horizon had moved we couldn t see them but taiga definitely knew where he belonged and then we heard a soft nicker from willow this was the signal to zane that he needed to go back home and it was the signal to taiga that she had done her job and could return to her own band as i watched this story unfold from start to finish i was filled with such admiration for taiga i wondered if there was any way possible that she could know that she and willow are full sisters born a few years apart to quahneah and london while this is special to us it most likely isn t possible as the two did not share their lives in their natal band what could be seen was taiga s gentle nature and her wisdom to take charge in this unique situation at the end of the story zane grey was back with his mother willow and their band stallion horizon thanks to an attentive young mare who decided it was time for the young foal to go back home back home published in mountain horses on october 4 2025 at 4 25 pm comments 2 tags pryor horses wild horses the legacy of a stallion killian echo the pryor mountain wild mustang center is aware of the bureau of land management s decision to euthanize the pryor mountain wild horse stallion killian echo we are very saddened by this loss the blm stands by this decision based on policy pim 2021 007 in this policy the phrase poor prognosis for improvement or chance of recovery sets one of the standards to euthanize a wild horse we disagree with the decision to euthanize killian through the assumption that he had a poor prognosis of improvement or chance of recovery the policy also states that the humane care of wild horses on the range requires periodic evaluation of their condition by qualified blm personnel or a veterinarian to provide for their well being the quick act of euthanasia came before any periodic evaluations of his condition by qualified blm personnel or a veterinarian as required by this policy the guidance for euthanasia that is attached to this policy also states when possible a veterinarian should be consulted prior to euthanasia unless circumstances necessitating euthanasia are urgent or obvious see https www blm gov policy pim 2021 007 the center s stance comes from decades of observing and monitoring the pryor horses as part of this we have consulted with the blm when they had concerns over the conditions of several horses through this the blm previously sought to humanely address injury or illness while also recognizing that these are wild animals that do have the capability to successfully recover from such ailments we have observed several cases where pryor horses exhibited poor body conditions or severe injuries but survived and recovered ironically just yesterday we received a photo of the horse malpais mandan who back in 2014 had a severe leg injury he was monitored by us and other volunteers and at times looked pretty hopeless at one point he disappeared and it was believed he had died a few weeks later he reappeared looking healthy and moving with freedom of movement we unfortunately have also observed several cases where after thorough evaluation and observation the blm has determined that the best option is euthanasia and we have sadly been in agreement in the case of killian s condition though we have countless examples of pryor horses who came out of a severe winter with extremely poor body conditions we have witnessed them make remarkable recoveries once the spring grasses fully emerge we strongly believe that killian deserved this same type of opportunity for life instead of being subject to decision making based upon limited evaluation to our knowledge killian s situation was not urgent or obvious from the information that has been provided the decision was made due to poor body condition labored breathing minimal mobility and lack of reaction when approached in close proximity all deduced in one single observation we have clearly expressed disagreement with the blm s decision as we now mourn the loss of killian we remain committed to working to prevent a similar act from happening again now and in the future now is not the time to let this situation incite any threats against those at the blm involved with this decision killian s legacy will serve as a cautionary reminder of the importance of those like us to continue to carry on the work in preserving the future of the pryor horses published in uncategorized on may 1 2025 at 6 38 am comments 2 proposed withdrawal extension pmwhr the blm billings field office has issued a notice of a proposed withdrawal extension for the pryor mountain wild horse range pmwhr the billings field office held a meeting on february 29 2024 in lovell wy to explain the proposal the meeting was informational in nature and invited the public to submit comments by april 16 2024 as an fyi this action is separate from the environmental assessment that was issued in early 2023 which is still pending the summary from the federal register volume 89 no 11 january 17 2024 states the secretary of the interior proposes to extend the public land order plo no 7628 for an additional 20 year term plo no 7628 withdrew closed 1 960 10 acres of public lands in big horn county wyoming from settlement sale location or entry under the general land laws including the us mining laws subject to valid existing rights to protect the pryor mountain wild horse range just what is a withdrawal a withdrawal is a tool used to close or withhold federal land from certain public land laws and or mineral laws so the land can be dedicated to a certain public purpose or to protect certain public resource s what does this proposed withdrawal extension mean for the pmwhr in september 1980 plo 5760 withdrew 1960 10 acres the purpose of the withdrawal was to protect wild horse and wildlife habitat watershed recreation cultural and scenic values within the pmwhr the current pmwhr withdrawal established by plo 7628 on march 8 2005 withdrew the same lands for the same purpose that withdrawal will expire on march 7 2025 unless it is extended the secretary of the interior proposes to extend plo 7628 for an additional 20 year term if extended the lands would remain withdrawn or closed from settlement sale location or entry under the general land laws including the us mining laws subject to valid existing rights to protect the pmwhr for an additional 20 years what land is involved in this withdrawal extension the map below shows the land involved in the proposed withdrawal extension this land indicated by the red border and highlight is managed by the blm billings field office and located in the state of wyoming this represents the 1 960 1 acres that is to be closed to the various activities in order to protect the pryor mountain wild horse range in an email to the mustang center the blm gave an easy to understand statement to explain the purpose of the proposed withdrawal extension withdrawals are only valid for 20 years so we need to essentially update our paperwork the extension will ensure that this portion of the wild horse range 1960 1 acres in wy remains protected and nothing will change from the current status march 7 2024 stallion sundance moves his new mare ukulele lil across the big coulee drainage a part of the land in the proposed
