U2 Boy Peter Rowen Expresses Concern for America's Wild Horses

Peter Rowen, who as a child was photographed for U2’s legendary “Boy” and “War” albums, is alarmed about the devastation and potential extinction that is facing the wild horses of the United States.

He recently viewed the trailer for filmmaker and horse advocate James Kleinert’s documentary “Disappointment Valley”, which give an in-depth look at the disturbing and sad situation these beautiful creatures are currently enduring. In an official statement given to his promoter, Karen Mayfield, and displayed on the website, Wild Mustang Coalition, Rowen lets his thoughts on this issue be known.

“Wow… I just watched the trailer of James Kleinert’s ‘Disappointment Valley’,” he said, “I never really knew anything about what’s going on with America’s wild horses, and for sure what I think is happening to them is horrific… I’m for the preservation of these animals in the wild and to be left in their natural habitat in the west.”

Rowen isn’t the only famous face speaking out about this issue. Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Viggo Mortensen, and Daryl Hannah have joined the cause of making sure that the horses remain safe in their natural surroundings. The trailer is very bold and upsetting at the same time. It wakes you up and breaks your heart when you see these horses being herded together only to have them endure danger lurking around the corner. View it here and see why people are taking a stand.

For more info on Peter, check out his website www.peterrowen.com, his blog peterrowenphoto.blogspot.com, as well as his Facebook and Twitter pages. To reach his promoter Karen Mayfield, find her on Twitter @KarenMayfield.

Below is a video of U2’s classic “Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses”. In their book “U2 by U2”, Adam says of the “Achtung Baby” song, “There’s something magical about it. It’s a great torch song with melody and emotion.” Video by ARTisRESISTANCEmLp

In the above video baby foals are being gathered. The end shows photos that the horses had plenty of food and water.

If you want the wild horses to remain in the west and want the gathers to stop...Please send in your comments. Thank You.

        WILD HORSES
     by Finbarr Winters
         Cork, Ireland

Each morning that I wake up
I can’t help but feel so grateful
When I look around and see what God
Decreed was our birthright.
The Mississippi river
The Grand Canyon
And the freedom of an eagle
As it spreads it mighty wings and takes to flight.

Like wild horses
As they roam across our ranges
Are a symbol of the freedom
That we all enjoy today.
No barriers to hold them
No boundaries control them
Wild horses remind me
Of the spirit that helped build the USA.

The Trans-American railroad
Will Rogers highway
Majestic Rocky Mountains
The backbone of our land.
Lines of covered wagons
The dustbowl and the desert
The dream, the hope, the prayers,
Mastered by the power of 2 bare hands.

Wherever man
has left his footprint
in the long ascent from
barbarism to civilization
we will find
the hoofprint of the horse
beside it.

In 1971, an unprecedented public outcry moved Congress to unanimously pass the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act, granting federal protection to America's wild horses and burros as “living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West […] that […] contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people.”
