The Heber Wild Horses Facebook page was opened on June 29, 2014. I opened that page because I noticed nobody else had opened a page for that herd of approximately 400 wild horses consisting of many individual bands of varying sizes living in what has been named the Heber Wild Horse Territory in the Apache-Sigreaves National Forests in Arizona. I felt those horses needed their own page to be recognized just as the Salt River Wild Horses in Arizona have.
I have been taking pictures of some of the horses for ten years. I figured other people must have a lot of photos of them too that maybe they would enjoy sharing. I also thought that perhaps in the future, if the US Forest Service ever decided to remove the horses from the forest, as they tried in the past, that the Facebook page would be a good place to rally the troops against a potential roundup, so to speak. Little did I know that the "future" was already here and the US Forest Service and the Arizona Game and Fish were already making plans to open up the horse gathering project from the past.
