Marriott, Cool Green World's president, has been working
closely with the International Society for the Protection
of Mustangs and Burros to help facilitate the rescue of
wild horse herds that would otherwise have gone to slaughter.
Happy to report that both of the relocated wild mustang
herds (from White Sands, NM, and from Gila Bend, AZ) are
faring very well. They are completely settled into their
new 5,000 acre range on Pine Ridge in South Dakota, where
they will remain forever wild and free.
Wonderful news -- a private foundation, introduced to the
wild mustang project by actress Stefanie Powers, visited
the site and is providing initial seed funding for the creation
of the Sun-Ka-Wa-Kan Heritage Center where visitors will
come to learn about wild horses, view the free-roaming herds,
interact with other rescued mustangs, and experience the
area's Native American Lakota Culture, including the close
connection with wild horses.
