Tank the Alpine Gelding

  Tank the Alpine Gelding's Story: Tank got his name for being such a BIG muscular stallion out in the wild! Though Tank is not originally a member of Chargers Band, he now sees himself as primary protector of Breeze and her baby girl. The three are always together! When Tank was gelded, it took multiple darts to actually get him to lay down and sleep. It usually only takes one, but this big boy is a fighter! Since coming home to Nirvana, Tank has proven what a family man he is, acquiring many mares including Breeze and her filly Sunshine. We pulled Tank from an obscure online auction where it was our group of rescues vs. one known kill buyer who was bidding on every single horse back in November of 2022! We only planned on bringing home 3-5 Alpine Wild Horses, but when more members of several family bands kept showing up in the auctions we could not sit by and watch them ship to slaughter in Mexico. We brought 22 Alpine Wild Horses home to Nirvana at the end of 2022 and 20 more Alpine
