Included in Declaration presented to court "The foal with the two hind socks was very lethargic the day we were there and even fell from weakness. It was so weak in fact when it fell, Mr. Palmer reached down and picked it up by its tail. A wild horse would not let a human get that close to it unless it didn't have the strength to flee. The foal with the white patch on it had to be euthanized. It had a swollen front right when we got it. We gave it several weeks of treatment hoping to save it but after having it x-rayed, it had already developed into ring bone."

Wild Horse Education carries litigation against the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge.

In our effort to educate the public to the plight of the Sheldon Mustangs, literally America’s War Horse, we created a stand alone website. Click the link to view: http://SheldonHorses.wordpress.com

The litigation we have brought forward is intended to stop the historic practice of hiding actions at the Refuge as they remove all of the remaining remnants of our historic heritage, the American War Horse.

The litigation is also intended to stop the practice of sending these magnificent beings into the hands of contractors that remain unaccountable to the whereabouts of the horses placed in their care where repeatedly these mustangs have been at risk of abuse and slaughter.

The case is of active status.
