Sid
Meet Sid
Buckskin Gelding, 14 H, DOB: 2022
Sid, a 14-hand buckskin colt, was born in early 2022 in the Cedar Mountain Herd Management Area (HMA) in Utah.
Update October 2024: Sid has recently entered the training program at Montgomery Creek Ranch, where he is showing his playful, silly, and sensitive nature. He loves interacting with his handlers and is already halter trained. Despite his difficult start, Sid’s spirited personality and resilience continue to shine through, and he is on his way to becoming a cherished companion.
Sid spent his early months running with a small band of wild mustangs before being captured during a BLM helicopter roundup in September 2022. Sadly, his mother did not survive the journey, and Sid sustained a severe head injury, resulting in nerve damage and a permanent disfigurement of his mouth. Despite this setback, Sid remained resilient and healthy. In May 2023, Sid was made available through the BLM’s Adoption Incentive Program (AIP), but he was left behind, unwanted. Thankfully, a photographer named Tandin who had documented Sid in the wild, alerted us to him. To learn more about how you can help keep wild horses wild, visit the American Wild Horse Conservation.
