This is very sad indeed. Such a needless tragedy put upon these beautiful horses. I have emailed the Big Horn National Recreation Area to endorse better and more prominent signage, although I doubt it would deter a drunk driver already unaware of his surroundings. Hopefully, the perpetrator is not allowed to get away with a slap on the wrist. Drunk driving should always be punished severely.

I am so saddened by beautiful Admiral and Climbs High death. So unnecessary. I just love horses. This all just makes me cry…What ever punishment that drunk driver gets is not enough.
Whatever I can do I will help…
Would love to see about adopting..

They were such a great family. Little Climbs High and Admiral. I hope the driver was caught and made to do duty helping at a rescue ranch.
Thank you for the lovely pictures.

Admiral and Climbs High are in a better place now. They’re with Sitka, Shaman, Raven, Storm, Dusty, Cloud’s grandmother Isabella, Gemini, the 2004 foals, and the horses that didnt make it through the winter. They’re in the meadows of heaven

A Most heart warming reflection of the last days of 2 beloved of God’s creation. May the Wyoming Wild Horses always greet NEW LIFE with such VIM & Vigor. As in this reflection they genuinely demonstrate what it is to love new life, rise up, survive the wintery blast and launch onward full of grace and beauty.
It all seems to be a glorious Parable of how all might address LIFE, Live it., and move on through it. and receive its finality with an awareness that we did not live in vane.
