  • 32. A Tribute to Thor, Wild Stallion of McCullough Peaks
    May 6 2024

    I met Thor for the first time in 2011 when I saw him napping in the flowers on a summer's day with several families of wild horses, some of the wildest on the range. Immediately I thought that Thor was the most beautiful foal I had ever seen, with his blue eyes and distinctive faded Sabino Pinto markings. I would go on to follow Thor for the remainder of his life.

    This week, I dedicate this episode to Thor and all the wild horses who were recently captured during the McCullough Peaks roundup. Tune in to hear about the impact Thor made on my life, what the BLM's plans for McCullough Peaks were versus what actually happened, and how you can support my fundraiser for the McCullough Peaks horses in honor of Thor.
