Six decades ago there were 200 or more wild horses on Great Abaco Island, Bahamas. These horses were the time-capsuled descendants of the horses that Christopher Columbus brought with him to the New World, at the end of the 15th Century. They lived independently and undisturbed until man disrupted the balance. All but three were slaughtered in the early 1960s. They came back to 35 animals by the m

id 1990s. But a hurricane pushed the horses out of their now destroyed forest habitat, where they had thrived for so long, into a lush and toxic citrus plantation that was hurricane-damaged and littered with chemicals, destroyed buildings, too-rich pastures, and poisonous plants. It was the beginning of the end for the horses. Despite the best efforts of Milanne Rehor, the woman who has dedicated 23 years to rescuing the animals from their destructive circumstances, the herd has been reduced to one mare. The Wild Horses of Abaco Preservation Society, and Arkwild, Inc., need your help to turn this situation around. The world has stayed at arm’s length for long enough; it’s time to step up, to recognize what has been lost, and to save what is still here: the last mare and her future offspring. Wild Horses of Abaco's primary objective is the prevention of the extinction of the Abaco Wild Horses, now to be known as the Abaco Spanish Colonials. DNA proven to be direct descendants of the horses brought to the New World by the Spanish Conquistadores.

Horse – The Soul Companion of the Earth
You are not a beast.
You are wind, made flesh — the ancient heartbeat of the Earth.
When the Creator exhaled the first breath of life,
You galloped across the meadows of light,
And the sky bowed as your hooves kissed the newborn land.
You came with no reins,
Carrying a strength that does not roar —
But stands firm like mountains,
And flows gentle like mist.
The fire in your eyes is not rage —
It is memory,
The sacred flame born from the stars before names were spoken.
Each step you take is a sacred word,
A spell of life whispered into soil and soul alike.
You do not serve —
You walk beside.
No one owns you,
For you are freedom incarnate,
The song of wild forests,
The breath of untamed plains.
You do not carry people forward —
You carry their spirits home.
When the warrior is lost in the smoke of the world,
It is you — with a heart of thunder and hooves of wind —
Who leads them back
To where fear cannot follow,
To where truth rises like morning mist on sacred ground.
The People did not ride you —
They listened to you.
In your whinny lives the fire of ancestors,
In your stride flows the blood of the Earth, singing.
You are the Guardian of Freedom,
The Bearer of Balance,
The Spirit of Destiny.
You have never been merely "a horse" —
You are the Twilight Deity in motion,
The Companion of every sacred journey.

Happy New Year everyone!
Finally have replacement phone, still trying to get it going. Had to order SIM card seperately! Hope to be back on line in a few more days. More than usual cloudy days keeping solar panels inefficient so using laptop only briefly. BUT, it's not snowing😄

We are so grateful and thankful and we hope that goodness flows out to all our friends near and far. Happy Thanksgiving ...

I just realized that people still are discovering the Abaco Island Horses! I’m sorry I haven’t been posting and welcoming. I’m still recovering from Hurricane Dorian, the Covid pandemic ( haven’t had it) and general culture shock.
So as I take each step into whatever will be the future the Abaco horses, I’ll try to post some updates. In the meantime, browse through the archives on the website, check out the videos on YouTube. Thanks for joining the still developing adventure.
