"No More Night Mares, A Dream of Freedom"

Wild Horses Honored in Children's Book "No More Night Mares, A Dream of Freedom"

Wild Heart Ranch, Inc.s’ book release, "No More Night Mares, A Dream of Freedom” honors wild horses in a tale of myth and magic. The book comes at a critical point in wild horse history, following changes to the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. The back of the book lists several well known wild horse preservation groups for horse lovers to research and support.

The company hopes to help build further awareness for the plight of wild horses through the "No More Night Mares" line of plush toys and books, as well as through its interactive, website, http://www.wildheartranch.com/. The amendment to the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act allows for the sale of wild horses to foreign markets, if the horse is over the age of 10, or if younger, then after they have unsuccessfully been offered for adoption three times. Wild horse advocates are currently lobbying to get the bill reversed.

We can chase them from the lands, but we can't reach them in the stars. So, if you awaken to a storm with lightning and thunder on a dark night, it may just be the Night Mares, streaking across the sky...."
