"It has been a great week at Skydog and it's hard to put into words how grateful we are for this particular visit. These are perilous times for wild horses in America with the Government suggesting removing restrictions for the sale of mustangs and euthanizing thousands of horses in holding. More than ever we need people to step up and help raise awareness about how truly magical, powerful and valuable mustangs are.
Gerard Butler came to Skydog Oregon
Seeing him interact with these souls with love, respect, kindness and such gentle energy was really a privilege. This is not someone who comes and pets a horse and stands for a photograph. He is on the ground with foals, massaging older horses, wanting to hear their stories, kissing furry friendly noses when they come close and getting every horse here to fall in love with him. Whenever he left a herd, horses would follow hopefully behind looking for one more touch and hug. They can sense when somebody truly cares and his love and compassion for animals shines bright and they feel it and respond to it.
Gerry spent time with the foals and they really could not get enough of him - especially the fillies for some reason 😁
If you would like to help with the care of any of our rescued horses please go to
www.skydogranch.org and your donation will go directly to feed these horses AND to rescue more."
Gerard with Mariah whose mother was rescued from a kill pen in Texas - she was born in February
Wilder, Mariah and Swift all wanted a kiss
Little Swift couldn't get close enough to her new friend
Wilder and Swift with their mamas in the background
All of these horses were rescued from horrible situations and close to death
These little girls all wanted some attention whilst their patriarch Bear stood and watched with interest
Swift, Wilder and Taylor were fascinated with their new friend and his hat !
Down and dirty on the ground with a herd of baby horses is no small feat
Little Mariah having a moment
Swift was completely wild when we picked her up from the BLM to promote adoptions of wild horses in holding
She usually keeps her distance but was friendly and completely in heaven being loved on by Gerry
