BLM Runs SoCal Wild Horses to Extinction

In a letter to BLM Ramona DeLorme, Kathleen Hayden of Coyote Canyon Caballos d'Anza writes:

Dear Ramona,

Please distribute the following communiqué and attached letter from Mike Pool to the Wild Horse Advisory Committee.

Dear Members of the Free Roaming Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Committee,

We, Coyote Canyon Caballos d'Anza Inc. have provided volumes of documentation to enable BLM to redefine and designate the native ranges of the Coyote Canyon Herd Area that was under-inventoried in 1971. It was defective then as it is now. By operation of law, management plans may be revised to correct this deficiency and make restitution.

We would remind the Committee of the previously provided and numerous preservation avenues within the National Historic Preservation Act Sec 106 and distinct population segments of the Endangered Species Act that support critical habitat designation.

The Coyote Canyon Wild Horse Herd is extinct now in the wild. We have possession of, and BLM retains title to, the 4 remaining stallions. Only through our efforts have this herd been saved for restoration.

It is necessary and imperative to re establish a Coyote Canyon herd to the Native American historic ranges of Beauty Mt (currently BLM)

We rely on BLM's offer of cooperation, assistance and partnership to manage this herd.

We have been informed that BLM instructed the Committee not to make a recommendation and believe that the Committee exists for this purpose.

Your positive action and response would be most appreciated.

Thank you,

Kathleen Hayden

Southern California Wild Horse Advocacy Group Needs Your Help

All,
Please forward to interested parties and get back to me ASAP.

Who will serve on a committee for the Coyote Canyon Heritage Herd Area (permanent sanctuary) and make a call and visit to local congressional/ Board of Supervisor visit?
Need chair persons and committees.

Passage of ROAM by the House was a huge step in the right direction and was supported by Congressmen Billbray and Issa. Hunter must be convinced now to take steps to establish the Beauty Mt permanent herd area for our Heritage herd, a distinct population segment for which habitat is mandated. Those are the operable key legal words under the Endangered Species Act that gives our elected officials the foundation to proceed.
Intermediate, and immediate options to be considered

Need Volunteers for a committee to meet with
1. the Orange County Scout Managers of Lost Valley. Either pasture lease or project partnership Lost Valley has Coyote Canyon wild horse documented free roaming history and good pasture but not fenced.

2. Mataguay Scout Reservation , either pasture lease or project partnership
The 600 acres at Mataguay is also close enough for easy management. mostly fenced( project manager David.Hodges@scouting.org)

3. Vista Irrigation District for Barrel Springs pasture includes intersection at Hyw S2 and S22. Lease should be minimal, fence repairs needed, can get grant.
Previously VID managed the Barrel Springs pasture for cattle. Since the last burn the pasture is in real good shape and close enough to manage with supplemental hay in the winter. I attended a VID Board Meeting several months ago and the board mentioned this as a possibility. Need committee for follow up. Contact David.Hodges@scouting.org, Board Chair Paul Dorey.

4. San Diego Board of Supervisors ...request Board to make Declaration of Coyote Canyon Heritage Herd. Would probably help to have a committee member rep for each district. Petitions have been submitted for this purpose.


5. Congressionals Hunter, Issa, and Bilbray to proceed with Beauty Mt. I am assured by BLM last week that this is doable.

Please distribute to all contacts to see who is willing to take a committee chair for CCCDA and organize a committee for each of the objectives as outlined.

Congress Votes to Pass the ROAM H.R. 1018 - Some Would Disagree

As a conservative I disagree with the Republican rationale depicted in this article. The passage of this bill provides more viable options for managing the 1971 Wild Horse and Burro Act which will better utilize public and historic grazing lands that can accommodate viable herds. Managing them locally by non profits/agency partnerships could further save as well as stimulate the local tourist economy. Maintaining our Heritage Herds has not /will not cost the American Public even a fraction of the cost of habitat and copious litigation for endangered species.
The huge expense has been in removal, feed lots, and adoption. This cost could be drastically reduced.
Please contact your local Board of Supervisors and state legislators to encourage cooperation at all levels.

How Did Your Congressman Vote on H.R. 1018 - Restore Our American Mustangs!

I'd like to hear Congressman Duncan's response to this!!

re H R 1018 RECORDED VOTE 17-Jul-2009 1:15 PM
QUESTION: On Passage
BILL TITLE: Restore Our American Mustangs Act
Michael,
Is it true that my own Congressman Duncan D. Hunter voted against this bill to restore the intent of the Wild Horse and Burro Act after California Heritage Herds have been made extinct in the wild? .... in light of the Desert Protection Act that has been manipulated for purposes that do not benefit the American public and through use plans by which our heritage herds were removed?
Is Congressman Hunter willing to sit down and talk with his San Diego constituents regarding this matter that is crucial to restoration of the remnants of our only Heritage Herd, the Coyote Canyon Caballos d' Anza??
Sincerely

Kathleen Hayden

First Mustang Baby Gets Adopted and New Name

Here are the first baby pictures of our first foal, Uno...



Our first foal, a filly, born to the Sulphur Springs Mustang mares was originally dubbed "Uno" having the honor of being first born into this newly banded heritage herd. She has been adopted by Devon Camilleri of Bonsall, CA and her new name is Phoenix.

A phoenix is a mythical bird with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of myrrh twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (sun city in Greek).

Thank you Devon Camilleri for stepping up and adopting this gorgeous little filly!
