- Book Synopsis
- Skydog Ranch and Sanctuary, founded by Clare Staples, covers over 9,000 acres in Malibu, California, and Bend, Oregon, where wild horse advocates work tirelessly to save captured Mustangs and return them to freedom. To date, Skydog has rescued over 300 wild horses and 50 donkeys and mules, with a special focus on finding and reuniting bonded families who may have once roamed the American West together but were separated during the roundup process. Gorgeously illustrated with hundreds of dramatic photographs, The Wild Boys of Skydog features more than fifty horses who once, as stallions, roamed western public lands. They lived freely, loving and protecting their bonded partners and family bands until roundup separated them from their herds and forced them into captivity, and often abuse and neglect. Staples recounts their tales of lost liberty and the dramatic extent to which some Mustangs will go to flee captivity or rejoin their family bands. The Skydog team identifies, locates, and secures captured wild horses - often saving them from notorious kill pens - ensuring their lifelong freedom at the sanctuary and, when possible, in the company of their original wild herdmates. Incredibly moving and inspiring, The Wild Boys of Skydog illuminates the plight of wild herds, showcasing their beauty and resilience and honoring the iconic inhabitants of the American West. A percentage of all sales goes toward supporting Skydog Ranch and Sanctuary.
