Western Milling of Goshen, CA has settled a lawsuit related to the deaths of 21 horses and injury of 28 others at Black Fence Farms of Clovis, CA in 2015.  The contaminant was an antibiotic that kills parasites and promotes weight gain in cattle and poultry but is toxic to horses.

Refer to this story in The Fresno Bee dated 10/29/18.  The company was also fined $726,000 by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

Halter-trained burros will be offered for adoption on October 28, during the final day of the Donkey Welfare Symposium at the University of California at Davis, according to a BLM news release posted today.  The announcement did not indicate how many of animals would be available.

Regarding the remarks in this post (reprinted below), I hereby offer Exhibit A, an article about wild horse training that appeared yesterday in SLO Horse News.  You don’t need to read it, you only need to see the photo at the top of the page.

If you’re an experienced horseman, adopting a mustang is an opportunity to break with your past.

Learn no-metal horsemanship.  Understand the importance of communication, trust and relationships.  Be patient.  Avoid pain and confusion.  Consider that you may not need bits, spurs and tie-downs to control a horse.  They don’t know anything about that equipment, they only know what you teach them.
