This Utah man took his Black Hawk helicopter for a spin for a very specific purpose: to save 34 wild horses.<\/p>\n

YouTuber HeavyDSparks had received a last-minute call to head out and recover a herd of escaped horses.<\/p>\n

These formerly wild horses had escaped from a rescue ranch and were running across rough desert and mountain terrain.<\/p>\n

With his helicopter at the ready, HeavyDSparks and his team got to work rounding them up.<\/p>\n

Taking a Black Hawk helicopter out to round up wild horses<\/p>\n

HeavyDSparks has form for taking on missions out in the desert \u2013\u00a0remember these abandoned Air Force jets in Nevada<\/a>?<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not forgetting the time he retrieved this plane, which had sunk into the sand.<\/a><\/p>\n

This time around, it was some wild horses that needed attending to.<\/p>\n

Wild horses are a beautiful sight, no doubt, but their presence can cause some problems ecologically.<\/p>\n

When their population grows too large, the land and surrounding wildlife can be negatively affected \u2013 prompting action from humans.<\/p>\n

In this case, the 34 horses in question had escaped from a rescue ranch.<\/p>\n

\"Utah<\/a>HeavyDSparks<\/p>\n

Because they were roaming through land on which they weren\u2019t meant to be, the ranch was facing some penalties if they didn\u2019t get them back.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where HeavyDSparks and his Black Hawk helicopter came into the picture.<\/p>\n

How did the mission go?<\/p>\n

Have you ever heard the phrase \u2018It was like herding cats\u2019?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s used to describe a situation that is chaotic and tricky.<\/p>\n

\"Utah<\/a>HeavyDSparks<\/p>\n

After watching this video, you might be inclined to think \u2018cats\u2019 could be switched out to \u2018wild horses\u2019 and it\u2019d have the same effect.<\/p>\n

The idea was to guide the horses towards a temporary corral, but it didn\u2019t pan out quite like that.<\/p>\n

Four horses were initially guided in, but nobody was on hand to secure them, so they escaped easily.<\/p>\n

Ten horses were later captured without injury, which was a success.<\/p>\n

\"Utah<\/a>HeavyDSparks<\/p>\n

A larger group was found and guided back towards the corral, but fading daylight, an icy river, and poor coordination led to them scattering.<\/p>\n

All in all, only 12 horses were recovered.<\/p>\n

Whilst HeavyDSparks and his team felt like they\u2019d failed, they were assured that their help had made a huge difference.<\/p>\n

And really, that\u2019s a life lesson in of itself \u2013 you can only try your best in life.<\/p>\n
