Descended from the horses of the American West, the wild horses living on the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, one of the most dangerous places on Earth, were a national treasure and a living legend. Strong and fierce, their ancestors were the mounts of the famous lawmen, hardy cowboys, and notorious outlaws who had once ruled the Wild West. Over the years, these horses had inspired many myths, and were said to be guarded by an implacable band of enormous, ghostly stallions that kept them from harm. But in 1994, after decades of suffering through droughts, food shortages, and all the dangers that go with living on a military-weapons testing site, scores of horses suddenly died. And almost two thousand were in such dire straits that they were unlikely to survive. In a race to prevent more tragic deaths, a team of dedicated veterinarians, cowboys, soldiers, and other professionals worked to relocate the surviving horses and their foals to safety. Then came the challenge of rehabilitating them, and eventually placing them in loving homes with people who could meet the needs of the highly spirited wild animals. This is the dramatic story of these noble horses' celebrated history, their defiant survival, and their incredible rescue. 272 pages. Ebook.
