Ramona's Heritage Herd Has Second Foal Arrive April 15 [Blog]

Ramona's original horses have another new arrival! Born on the morning of April 15th this foal was sired by Juan, the Mare, Sombre, gave birth to the gorgeous grulla filly. The stripes on her legs are well pronounced! Mother and foal joined the herd quickly and ran through the fields where they are temporarily staing in the morning sun.

More foals are expected over the coming weeks and excitement is building for those arrivals!

This Heritage herd are icons of our unique local cultural evolution from Spanish occupation, Native American Ranching, and Pioneering western settlement. The last herd of Southern California wild horses were removed in 2003 by a management plan oversight....Rising above the Canyon, the Beauty Mountain ranges are subject to a Herd Area revision to provide the herd with permanent home. 

Only four stallions remain from of this herd and are being "fostered" in captivity by Coyote Canyon Caballos D'Anza (CCCDA) near Warner Springs. Our vision is to return them to their natural, free-roaming ranges and restore their genetic viability for future generations
