The true meaning of Sanctuary, a place where animals are brought to live and be protected for the rest of their lives.
Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary (BHWH) has provided the amazing gift of a lifetime home for 17 Fort Polk Horses that were needlessly evicted by Fort Polk Officials from their homelands in Louisiana’s Kisatchie National Forest, May 2018 Roundup #5
It was a dream come true! Not only was Mrs Susan Watt and the Sanctuary’s Founder, Mr. Dayton O. Hyde, willing to take in all 17 horses, there was a far deeper connection that I could have never imagined. A serendipitous bond that resonates with the soul of all of those who cherish Louisiana’s unique herds of wild horses. A herd rich with history, culture, and biological significance.
The story of Sugarfoot, “The Little Bay Mare from Camp Polk”, by Dayton O. Hyde
“She wasn’t just any horse; she was a gaited walking horse of Spanish descent from the Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana.”
