Born January 17, 2012, Skye is our newest resident at the sanctuary. Skye's Sire " Red" and Dam, "Gabriella", are part of the Hart Mountain herd - the first herd to arrive at Return to Freedom some 14 years ago. The Hart Moutain herd roamed free in the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge in Oregon until a total wild horse removal by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in the late nineties.

Two Ponies is a beautiful, painted mare from Return to Freedom's Calico herd. This lucky mare is one of over 80 mares rescued by Return to Freedom after the devastating Calico roundup in the Calico Mountains Complex of Northwest Nevada. Over 1900 wild horses were rounded up, driven by helicopter for miles over treacherous, rocky terrain in the dead of winter to a small holding pen where they would be forever separated from their home, their families and their freedom.
