25 to 50 are shipped to Canada and Mexico daily from just one kill shelter we follow. 365 days a year. They are treated like shit too.

Not always, the wild ponies at Assateague are treated like celebrities and folks pay a lot of money to name them. Excess ponies are auctioned off and top pony can go for close to half a million. Average is around $17k.

I've never made it to the pony swim 😕, but I've visited the island more than a few times and I've watched them from Chincoteague a few times!

Mustangs are highly sought after for working cattle. The healthy, young and strong wild horses aren't used for food, they're trained and sold to work ranches.
