Salt River Mustangs

I watch you before you ever see me. I feel the weight of your curiosity drifting across the river long before your footsteps touch its edge. You wonder why we seek you, why our eyes follow your movements, but I wonder something else entirely. Why now? I have not changed. I am the same spirit I have been for hundreds of years, carved from wind and sun and open country. Once, I ran without question. Once, no one counted me. Once, no one decided how many of my kind were allowed to exist. Today, man’s intentions circle me like a tightening rope, disguised in words that sound kind but feel heavy. People arrive from far and near, pressing into the little space I have left, peering into a life they cannot truly understand. I hear the whispers that say we are too many. I feel the quiet push that wishes us to become few. A game of control dressed as compassion. A squeeze imposed by those who have never tasted real freedom, never felt what it means to choose your own horizon. Fences rise where our hooves once traced ancient paths. Lines are drawn across the very ground that remembers us. Still, not all humans come with hard hands. Some arrive with open hearts. Some bring water when the land is cracked and tired. Some leave nourishment so the weak may stand another day. I see them. I know the difference. Yet even with their kindness, our lineage trembles beneath careful counting and controlled births. The lions claim their share, as they always have, taking both young and old in nature’s honest way. It is the other losses that trouble my soul. All we have ever wanted is simple. Space to roam. Room to run. The right to exist as we always have. I carry scars from this hard life, etched into my hide and into my memory. I am more than a moment in someone’s scrolling thumb. More than a passing image. I am a living story of this land. I am still here. I am still breathing. I am still hoping. Please, bring me peace.
