When it comes to the protecting the legacy of America’s Western frontier, wild horses are too often forgotten. Many herds face lives of abuse, neglect and slaughter as a result. But there was some good news recently thanks in part to Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue of Lancaster, Calif., which recently negotiated a successful deal with the U.S. government to save 169 wild horses that were scheduled to be sold at auction. Wild Horse Rescue board member Stephanie Hoefener joined the Petcasters to explain.

Emily follows up on the AnimalOff product that Steve referenced on No. 257.5 that they sell on late night TV and Steve questions the claims in a new Purina commercial. Also, Emily ponders what sort of seatbelts to have for our big drive across at the end of August.
