With 50,000 wild horses incarcerated in BLM pens, the adoption of 19 was only a drop in the bucket. But to those 19, it would make all the difference. Instead of a life of captivity, they could return to freedom on open range in New Mexico. "Brand Name" is the third in the trilogy of true-life horse 'tails' by Anne J. Thomas. Unlike her two previous books, "Sky-Dog!" and "Cimarron!", "Brand Name" focusses entirely on Anne's experiences with the BLM, recounting the unique stories of each of her adoptions, painting a full and encompassing picture of what is happening to the last of America's wild horses on public lands. This is a heartfelt narrative of the highs and lows of running a wild horse sanctuary along the Santa Fe Trail in New Mexico. The harsh realities of drought and financial concerns are off-set with adventure, the fruition of dreams and the joy of returning horses to freedom. Using historical quotes that hark back to a time when millions of wild horses roamed the west - this book is an entertaining, informative and poignant homage to mustangs and what was once wild in America. Because "Brand Name" was first published in 2014, look out for a 2018 update!
