Get to Know Me

I'm a handsome black gelding with a distinctive star, strip, and snip on my face, along with white markings on all four of my legs. I was born around January 2019 in Nevada's Moriah herd area, where I spent my early years living wild and free.

On October 18, 2023, when I was approximately four years old, my life changed when I was rounded up and removed from the land I called home.

The BLM identified me as #2829, but I'm so much more than a number. I'm a wild horse with a story, a past filled with freedom, and a name still waiting to be chosen.

Now, at approximately seven years old, and after nearly three years away from the range, I have the opportunity to experience freedom again at Rewilding America Now, where thousands of acres await and I'll have room to roam alongside other wild horses.

And perhaps I'll even see familiar faces! Three other horses on this Freedom Ride came from my same herd area and were rounded up just one day before me. Could we have known one another in the wild? We don't know for certain, but the possibility of being reunited makes this journey especially meaningful.

Although I cannot return to the life I once knew, thanks to the kindness of people who care, I have the chance for a wonderful new life filled with freedom — and perhaps some familiar companions from my past.

Could you be the one to give me a name of my own?

More of My Journey

A Possible Reunion from the Moriah Herd Area

Four horses on this Freedom Ride share an interesting connection:

  • #2742: Black mare, captured October 17, 2023.

  • #2743 — Zeena: Bay mare, captured October 17, 2023.

  • #2813 — Zaydan: Brown gelding, captured October 17, 2023.

  • #2829: Black gelding, captured October 18, 2023.

All four came from Nevada's Moriah herd area and were rounded up within just two days.

While their exact relationships are unknown, they may have shared the same range or even known one another before their removal. Their journey to Rewilding America Now offers the possibility of being together again.

Additional photographs of my journey will be shared here.
