Consider the following acts of extreme stupidity:

President's Budget Calls for Substantial Increase in Wild Horse Program

President Obama’s FY 2011 BLM budget proposal requests $75.7 million for the wild horse and burro program, a nearly $12 million increase over the FY 2010 level of $63.9 million. The budget proposal makes a separate, but related, land-acquisition funding request of $42.5 million for the purchase of land for one wild horse preserve. More...

Secretary Salazar's Initiative

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has proposed a national solution to restore the health of America’s wild horse herds and the rangelands that support them by creating a cost-efficient, sustainable management program that includes the possible creation of wild horse preserves on the productive grasslands of the Midwest and East.

This past week I had the opportunity of traveling to Salmon, Idaho as a guest trainer for a 4-H horse camp. After four long days in the sun, I count myself blessed to have more than forty new friends, most under the age of fourteen. Oh, what an awesome group of young people.

Ahhh, but in the DallyPost world, things are a bit different. The... read more
