A wild horse and her foal that had been stranded on a Lake Powell beach for weeks as water levels increased were rescued and taken to an animal sanctuary last week, National Park Service officials announced.
The mother and baby horse were not in danger of being inundated by the lake’s rising waters, which are about 43 feet higher than they were in June 2022, according to aof the lake’s levels. Instead, they were trapped in an area with little food and had “no way to escape on their own,” officials said in a news release.
The National Park Service typically does not interfere with wildlife, but the horses posed a safety concern due to the popularity of the beach for camping and boating, the news release stated. A team attempts to guide a stranded wild horse and her foal into a horse trailer on a National Park Service boat at Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
