@On It  Thanks for the update.   It's wonderful to see those horses safe.  How terrifying for humans, pets, and wildlife. 

Still sending prayers that things will get better.

A herd of deer has returned to a burned out area. They do have survival instincts that must have served them well.

This is a food truck from Alto. He must have evacuated with it to Capitan, NM, home of Smokey Bear. He is parked at the Shell gas station.

Much is being reported about Ruidoso. Our next door neighbors are the Mescalero Apache. They have lost a great deal as well.

@On It  I'm going to ask a dumb question. Do these horses just walk around town by themselves? Are they wild? I'm in the Midwest and the only time I see a horse is on a trail or a farm.

@SaveTheTurtles That is not a dumb question. The horses are in herds. A dominant stallion is in charge of each herd. He controls their movements and makes the decisions about their movements. They are wild in the sense no one owns them. No one provides them food or shelter. They roam freely through the mountains and the village. 

 

 

This is the stallion for the herd that comes by our house.

So glad to hear the good news and see the animals returning. Also, so very uplifting to hear how people are doing what they can to help their neighbors and the animals alike! We will continue to pray for all who have been affected by these devastating and destructive fires. ❤️🙏
