We, at Red Birds Trust, are at a loss for adequate words to describe of the loss of our magnificent south Onaqui stallion Glory.

For the past few days we have quietly listened to bits of horrifying information as they filter in from various sources and we have patiently waited to share anything publicly until law enforcement has been allowed to do their job. A thorough investigation of an active crime scene with some complex contributing factors lead us to strongly believe in not rushing to spread information until pertinent facts were made available by the investigating agency (Bureau of Land Management).

A $35,000 reward has been offered by various contributing agencies and organizations including Red Birds Trust who immediately offered to contribute $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person/s responsible for this heinous crime.

Glory, a five and a half year old palomino, was a favorite of many who visit the wild horses in Utah’s west desert and find it a place of peace and solace. Anyone who had the fortune to watch him in the wild can attest to the fact that his beauty was only matched by his incredibly sweet nature. Born in early summer of 2019, Glory was friends to many even as a young c**t.

He has spent the past 4 years as best friends with a beautiful grey known as Adonis, and traveled with two black stallions known as Firestorm and Stillwater since they were all released from the 2021 roundup. The four bachelors were inseparable and Firestorm, as the eldest of the four, was always looking out for his four young friends. Recently Glory began to take on more of the role of protector himself, especially over younger Stillwater.

On Friday, November 8th midday Glory was seen by multiple visitors to the area alone in a field. He had obvious swelling and edema to his right side along with a small wound of unknown origin. On Sunday, October 10th he had made his way back to the road he frequently traveled along and it was there he was found to have taken his last painful breaths.

Upon further on scene investigation by federal law enforcement it was confirmed that our sweet Glory had been shot to death.

The callous and reckless individual/s responsible for this crime need to be found and held accountable for their actions. It is our hope that with the reward offered and the public’s help this will come to fruition sooner than later. No animal deserves this fate, but especially not this one. Glory was one of a kind and his big presence will be forever missed.

A tipline has been established to gather information as to the person/s responsible. Callers may remain anonymous. (800) 722-3998. Emails can be sent to [email protected]

Please help us to help Glory and the others, by sharing this information far and wide in the hopes that these criminals are brought to justice.

They don't get much wilder than Elvis.

He lives a life of freedom, his wild spirit echoing through the high plains of the North Lander Complex in Wyoming. The moment I first saw Elvis, I was struck by his beauty and energy. Elvis and his herd are a critical link in a chain of wildlife and nature at home in a vast landscape. Wild horses, pronghorn antelope, mule deer, coyotes, badgers and birds. All living in harmony. To see nature in her purest form on public lands is a gift for all of us.

Unfortunately, private and very wealthy ranchers are destroying this dreamscape by using public lands for their own profit. Outnumbering wild horses 50 to 1, privately owned cattle are now everywhere. The greed is startling. Big agribusiness is behind the wild horse roundups, ensuring that the Bureau of Land Management clears the way for more livestock on public lands.

Elvis of the North Lander Complex, along with the other wild horses of this important wild horse area are in the crosshairs of the BLM (Bureau of Land Management). Using your tax dollars, on July 1st the BLM plans to fire up their helicopters and round up over 2,700 wild horses from Conant Creek, Dishpan Butte, Muskrat Basin and Rock Creek. Wild horse deaths are a certainty.

An act of Congress can stop the roundups and order the BLM to abide by more humane, sensible wild horse management.

And it all starts with YOU! Elected representatives won't get involved unless they hear from their constituents. It doesn't matter where you live, from coast to coast- you have a stake in this; public lands belong to you. Right now, your taxpayer dollars are funding animal cruelty to line the pockets of the rich.

It will only take a minute to contact your elected representatives. A link to a pre-written letter AND contact info for your reps is at the top of comments below.

Elvis, and the wild horses of Wyoming thank you. With your help, helicopters will remain grounded, and peace, beauty, and freedom will flourish as it should on public lands.
