Five wild horses roaming around the master-planned community of Rancho Sahuarita, Arizona, near Tucson have caused a controversy over whether or not they should be captured, or left free to wander.
News 4 Tucson is reporting that it has learned some equestrian lovers, anxious about the horses' safety, are making an effort to find homes for the animals.
The Arizona Department of Agriculture set up a corral to capture the five wild horses, two weeks ago, but they are still running loose. A DPS officer had to shoot one of the horses after it was caught wandering in and out of traffic along I-19.
Rancho Sahuarita resident Julie Wypych who is very concerned about the horses contacted a Marana horse rescue called "Hoofprints of the Heart".
Together, they are now working to raise money to buy the horses, once they are caught and put up for auction. She is planning to go door to door to pass out fliers to get the word out about the fundraiser.
Hoofprints of the Heart has offered livestock assistance to help capture the horses. The goal is to capture the horses and give them a safe home. If you would like to help, you can contact Boubribau at (520) 780-6900 or email him at hoofprintsoftheheart@gmail.com.
