Note to Visitors: Stay Away from Currituck Horses

You should never approach wild horses unless you’re a trained volunteer with CO2 pistol, CO2 rifle or blowgun in hand.

A report published yesterday by WAVY News shows several people getting too close to the horses, which is illegal.  The photo initially appeared on socialist media.

Cruelty, enticing, harboring, luring, seizing and failure to report injury are also unlawful, according to the story.

Horse Surrenders Climbing

A story published yesterday by Fox News of Colorado Springs, CO says that a rescue in Ellicott has reached its capacity and now has a waitlist with eleven more.

An email sent this morning asking if any of the horses are coming in with freeze marks has not been answered.

A BLM public affairs officer reported earlier this month that adoptions had declined this year for similar reasons.

Fish Creek Roundup Next Chapter In ‘Wild Horse Wars?’

The incident was set to begin this weekend.

The gather area, based on a map from the 2015 Final EA, includes the Fish Creek Ranch allotment, which is grazed by Borba Land and Cattle LLC, among others, according to a report from the Rangeland Administration System.  Borba receives 52% of the active AUMs on the allotment.

The HMA is shown in pink and the gather area, which extends well beyond the HMA, has a light green border.  The allotments, four of which intersect the HMA, have dark green borders: Lucky C, Arambel, Ruby Hill and Fish Creek Ranch.

The original piece in The Washington Post begins with a story about Kevin Borba, “a cattle rancher in Nevada.”  He appears in the following video by Protect the Harvest, which ties him to the area.

“The horses ain’t ever going to leave,” he says.

Over 500 were removed last year, with another 135 slated for removal this year, so PTH will need to update the video.  Less wailing and gnashing of teeth, please.

Ivermectin Cures Covid?

Many in the horse world know it as a dewormer.  But if you search for Ivermectin Covid-19, you’ll find reports on its use in treating the virus.

The local feed store had it in paste form on December 24.  But it also had several other types of dewormers.  There were no special warning signs in that area—Ivermectin not fit for human consumption—and there were no indications that it was being taken off the market or going out of stock.

My guys get Panacur on an as-needed basis.  It’s expensive but works well.

‘D’ Is for Demonic

If we have three co-equal branches of government, why is there so much interest in the presidency?

The political party trying to force its way into the White House hates Christmas as much as it hates the Constitution.

What exactly did they do yesterday?  Spend some time in front of their holiday trees, listening to holiday music, wishing each other happy holidays?

Most of its members already subscribe to the movement discussed in this video, they just haven’t come out of the closet yet.

The PZP Zealots Want Many One-Horse Ponies

Some want no-horse ponies, mares that have become sterile through extended use of contraceptives.

Do they agree with the idea of managing HMAs primarily for livestock and HAs almost exclusively for livestock?  Sure looks like it.

How do they differ from the public-lands ranchers?  The ranchers want AMLs achieved as quickly as possible, while the ‘advocates’ want herd sizes reduced gradually.

Unfortunately, darted mares consume resources assigned to ‘other mandated uses of public lands,’ and that’s at the center of the debate.

What Is a Scandal?

When the words or deeds of one person cause others to lose the faith or act in ways that offend God, you have a scandal.

Here are a few facts about the material world, in case you didn’t get the memo:

  • It’s God’s creation
  • You don’t get to make the rules
  • All men will be held to the same standard

Keep these things in mind when you look at a nativity scene and see the Word made flesh, lying in a manger.

There are tens of thousands of churches but only one standard.  Which one has the fullness of the truth?
