Two bonded wild mustangs from Utah’s Onaqui Mountain herd were tragically separated and sent to separate holding facilities in a roundup. Luckily, their story wasn’t over; a woman and her husband made it their mission to reunite the formerly inseparable pair and offer them a safe haven for the rest of their days.
Wild horse photographer and deputy director of the American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC), Melissa Tritinger, owned a pony of wild mustang pedigree as a child, sparking her love for the breed. Years later, she spotted pinto stallion Stargazer for the first time on her first expedition to the Onaqui Mountains photographing wild horses.
