Descended from the greatest horses of the American West, the wild
horses living on the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico were
national treasures and living legends. But in 1994, after years of
suffering through periodic droughts, food shortages, and all the
dangers accompanying life on a military weapons-testing site,
scores of horses suddenly died. And almost two thousand more were
in such dire straits that they were unlikely to survive.
Large-animal veterinarian Don Hoglund was called in to organize and
lead a team of dedicated cowboys, soldiers, and other professionals
in removing the surviving horses and their offspring to safety.
"Nobody's Horses" tells the dramatic story of these noble animals'
celebrated history, their defiant survival, and their incredible
rescue. Amid the constant danger from unspent munitions on the
ground and missile testing in the air, cowboys, Native Americans,
and ranchers--all of whom cared deeply about the fate of the
horses--clashed in a battle of wills. And, of course, there were
the horses themselves--wild, extraordinarily powerful animals, not
easily managed or moved, who would become known to their rescuers
as fascinating, individual characters. Filled with history and
heroism, adventure and rivalry, and, ultimately, the alliances
between horses and people, "Nobody's Horses" will stir the emotions
and imagination of horse lovers, humanitarians, and anyone who
loves an uplifting tale of second chances.
