Produced & Hosted by Debbie Dahmer aka ”Mama Bear”  Guest: Carol Walker -Owner at Living Images. Author, Artist, & Wild Horse Advocate. Freedom for Wild Horses Podcast - Producer & Host Topic: Standing Strong for the Wyoming Checkerboard Wild Horses Wyoming’s ”Checkerboard” wild horses are at the center of a conflict between wild horse advocates and local ranchers over land management. Recent actions include a large-scale removal of over 3,000 horses by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) mid 2025 "Wyoming Checkerboard Wild Horses" refers to herds in a unique land-ownership area in southwestern Wyoming where public and private land are mixed like a checkerboard. These horses are the subject of ongoing controversy, with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposing large-scale removals for land health, which has led to lawsuits and temporary reprieves for the horses. Recent court decisions have supported the BLM's plans, but legal challenges have delayed or canceled some roundups.  Court rulings: A judge has ruled in favor of the BLM, allowing for management changes to the checkerboard, which advocates are appealing. Roundup delays: Some roundups have been postponed, including a planned "zero out" roundup for the Salt Wells Creek and Adobe Town herds, which has been delayed until at least the summer of 2026.  Wild Hoofbeats Website https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/wild-horses Living Images by Carol Walker  https://www.livingimagescarolwalker.com/  Freedom for Wild Horses Podcast https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/category/podcast      Thank You ALL for Tuning In!  https://voicescarryforanimals.podbean.com/

Hosted by Debbie Dahmer aka ”Mama Bear” Guest: Keith Dane - Consultant for Equine Protection for the Humane World for Animals - formerly called The Humane Society of the United States Topic: Update on the fight to end Horse Soring.  Soring involves the intentional infliction of pain to a horse's legs or hooves in order to force the horse to perform an artificial, exaggerated gait. Caustic chemicals—blistering agents like mustard oil, diesel fuel and kerosene—are applied to the horse's limbs, causing extreme pain and suffering. A particularly egregious form of soring, known as pressure shoeing, involves cutting a horse's hoof almost to the quick and tightly nailing on a shoe or standing a horse for hours with the sensitive part of his soles on a block or other raised object. This causes excruciating pressure and pain whenever the horse puts weight on the hoof.
