Clare Staples with a mustang that now lives at her Skydog Ranch and Sanctuary in Bend, Ore. Clare Staples was an entertainment producer in Los Angeles when she learned about a decades-long dispute involving the plight of wild mustangs.With help from her husband, Christopher Polk Read, Staples started a nonprofit in 2016 and began taking in mustangs that were rounded up by the Bureau of Land Management, posting stories about them on.
“We have a good record of these horses in the wild, so she will go to an auction with a family in mind,” Wilson said. “The federal government isn’t presenting you with a family at auction. You’re just getting tag numbers.”“If you’re looking for a horse with a tiny white patch over its left eye, Clare will do everything she can to find that horse using photographic documentation,” he said.
“Wild donkeys have been a big part of our sanctuary from the beginning,” Staples said. “They’re beautiful, calm and very curious animals.”
