For the possible interest of those who consider themselves to be experienced horse owners and handlers, some of this information is quite specific, in regard to such things as horse turnout, health and hoof care.  It is meant to be presented in a good spirited belief that ALL OF US, no matter how experienced, still are just learning about the continually evolving and complex natural world and world of horses.  And, this information is presented in the belief that lessons learned from horses often can be invaluable for the continued welfare and very survival of the people of all nations of the world, as well.  So, much of the material on this website also is an attempt to relate to those people whose only apparent connection to horses may be little more than an appreciation of the beauty, spirit of freedom and overall goodness that they have come to represent. 

A true and thoughful basic understanding of horses requires some knowledge and consideration of their still existing connections to both the remaining natural wilderness on the planet and their adaptation to the opposing forces of an increasingly unnatural, manmade civilized world.   Deadly pollution of our planet mainly is the result of civilization's inept and wanton destruction of unmanaged wild areas and their once ecologically balanced natural systems for producing pure air and water, which systems have relied on a delicate balance of wildlife that has included wild horses.

Whenever you hear some government representative or employee claim to be involved in MANAGING for the health of wildlife or a wilderness area, you are hearing a perpetuation of one of GOVERNMENT'S BIG LIES.  Only by government's corporately inspired and falsified redefinitions for its related, inept and destructive activies are the terms, MANAGED WILDERNESS and MANAGED WILDLIFE, anything more than deliberately deceptive oxymorons.  True wilderness areas and wildlife are SELF-managed by nature, basically free from any significant, large scale type of human intrusion which, invariably, has and will upset the essential and life sustaining natural balance of ecology.

The statements in the above three paragraphs actually have hit upon issues in ALL FOUR of the main topics that appear on this website's "Site Sections Selector Wheel, above.  Attempting to organize, into a meaningful perspective, a sometimes seemingly endless amount of oft times diverse information that deals with these essentially connected topics, has resulted in this site's use of this modification of the traditional American Indian medicine.  Hopefully, you will find it to be an easily understood, graphic representation, that is helpful in "connecting the dots" of natural ecology.

The following may provide a further insight into how the contents of this website relate to and coincide with the wheel's representation of the aforementioned concept of natural interconnections.

Starting at the top of this wheel and moving clockwise around the circle, Natural Evolution results in a  platform for natural ecology. which is dependent upon the preservation of a harmonious balance of nature, of which Wild Horses have played an essential, mutually supportive role that routinely is overlooked by civilization's scientists and other humans.  Were this to have been given respectful consideration in the development of mankind's Civilization and Politics there would have been more thoughful development of civilized standards for breeding and other aspects of Living with Horses who are kept in captivity as domesticated animals.  In such a hypothetical example, there would have been more of a mutually supportive endless cycling of both natural and man-made developments on this wheel, with harmony between these parts of the natural and civilized worlds.

Instead, there has been a natural tendency for each of these four points on the wheel to become the adversarial opposite of the point that is located on the opposite site of the wheel from it.  And, given the continued careless and unthoughtful development and intrusions against nature by most modern civilizations, what has become a very unnatural evolution now heads, with ever increasing speed, to the brink of virtual extinction of wild horses, humans and other species of life on earth.
