Join us and let's work together to reform the government's cruel, expensive, and ineffective #wildhorse and burro program. #KeepWildHorsesWild
- American wild horses are a symbol of the freedom that defines our country. Why is the government wasting your tax dollars on cruel roundups when more affordable and safer alternatives exist? Join our movement for real solutions: secure.everyaction.com/xuo4LBbdtU-VNu…
00:00 - Yesterday at the Triple B roundup in Nevada a brave stallion escaped the wings of the trap, jumping the jute fencing. He took to the range, running hard and fast -- never looking back. Photo by Nenah Demunster
- The BLM has approved a plan to reduce the wild horse population in Nevada’s Lahontan HMA—from 518 horses down to just 7-10. That’s not a typo. The HMA is 9,687 acres surrounded by over 304,000 acres, yet the BLM claims it can only sustain a single-digit wild horse population. ‼️
- On Monday, AWHC Utah Conservation Operations Manager, Tandin Chapman was on site to document the release of 50 mares and 12 stallions back onto the Cedar Mountain Herd Management Area (HMA).
00:00 - Yesterday, contractors tried 6X to push a herd of approx 17 Onaqui mustangs into the trap site, but each time the horses, lead by a defiant stallion, evaded capture. No horses were captured. ❤️ wildhor.se/OnaquiRoundup

- 🎉 HUGE WIN FOR WILD HORSES! 🎊 The House Appropriations Subcommittee has advanced a bill that continues the ban on slaughtering federally protected wild horses and burros! But it's not over yet—ask your representative to weigh in on wild horse protection: bit.ly/4nObxBy
- These pictures were taken recently at Salt Wells Creek—home to Wyoming's rare wild Curlies, whose population faced possible eradication if the BLM's plans had prevailed. The BLM could still threaten these iconic horses, and we need to be ready to defend them.
- In the cool, calm of dusk, bachelor stallions Komodo, Cohen, and Earl make their way from water. These mustangs are alert, in tune, and always aware of their surroundings. In this remote segment of Utah, our fertility control program is helping to keep them wild and free ☀️
00:00 - On Day 3 of The Adobe Town WY roundup, a stallion broke free from the trap and was relentlessly pursued by a helicopter. Against the odds, he escaped—yet instead of fleeing for safety, he returned to the trap’s edge, risking recapture as he called out for his family. 💔
00:00 - The two things that are most important to a wild horse are family and freedom.
- When we reached these mustangs from a kill lot in Alabama, they were in rough shape -- neglected, traumatized and very thin. Today, they're back home in the West.
00:00 - 🌟 BREAKING: Colorado just made history! 🌟 Governor Jared Polis has proclaimed March as Horse Protection Month—making Colorado the first state to officially recognize the importance of keeping wild horses wild & free! TAKE ACTION: bit.ly/42MRzPG
