Origins: The Broken Arrow Ranch

The Gabriel Horses trace their lineage to the Broken Arrow Ranch in Nevada, where they were once part of a large herd of wild mustangs. In the late 1960s, the ranch was sold, and the horses faced an uncertain future. The new owners intended to capture and sell the horses for slaughter, a common practice in the horse industry at the time.

The Escape: A Break for Freedom

As the roundup began, a group of horses, led by a mare named Belle, managed to elude capture. They broke through the corral and galloped into the vast expanse of the Nevada desert. This small band of escapees would later become known as the Gabriel Horses.

The Journey: Across the American West

The Gabriel Horses embarked on an extraordinary journey across the American West. They traveled hundreds of miles, evading capture and navigating treacherous terrain. They crossed mountains, deserts, and rivers, encountering both challenges and opportunities along the way.

Arrival in the Pryor Mountains

After several years of wandering, the Gabriel Horses finally found refuge in the Pryor Mountains of Montana. This rugged and remote landscape provided them with a sanctuary where they could live in relative safety.

The story of the Gabriel Horses captured the attention of conservationists and wildlife advocates. They recognized the importance of protecting the horses and ensuring their continued freedom. Organizations like the Cloud Foundation, the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign, and the Montana Horse Sanctuary worked tirelessly to monitor the horses, advocate for their protection, and educate the public about their plight.
