Onaqui Catalogue Foundation

A community-based non-profit using citizen science in the Onaqui HMA to improve understanding of the wild horse.

Welcome to Trail Cam Tuesdays! Camera ID: Old Man Location: Onaqui North Herd Area July 2025 The Onaqui Catalogue uses carefully placed cameras to catch horses day or night, allowing us to see which horses are staying together even when we can’t access them.

Fresh out of the oven! Mare OQ650bM (Saroja) is a first-time mom. It’s the foal’s job to stay close during those crucial first few weeks, both to bond properly and to avoid getting caught in conflicts like the one in the video. Keep 300 feet away from new foals to ensure their safety and survival.

Did you know mare-theft by stallions (abduction) is uncommon? In mixed gender bands, males and females travel together. Males display through fights, play with foals, and court the mare. In this case, a white mare and her pinto foal are being trailed by 6 bachelors. Who do you think she’ll choose?

Two incidents this week endangered people and horses: someone approached an injured wild horse and apples were left on the range. Please keep 100 feet from horses per code 43. CFR 4770.1. and 300 feet from new foals. Do not harass, pet, touch, or feed horses. Drive on established roads.
