Save Our Wild Horses is here to offer helpful tips and educational information to help you with wild horse advocacy.  We do not take or accept donations.  We do occasionally do a fundraiser to specifically fund the DC Conference in April or to help a rescue or sanctuary with a specific need.  Any funds raised from the sales of our t-shirts, bumper stickers, etc are all in turn donated to organizations who work tirelessly to protect our wild horses, burros, wildlife, and public lands.
​
The issues facing our wild horses today are sadly numerous: from being rounded up by helicopters and separated from family band members forever, to living in long-term holding pens for the rest of their lives, being adopted through a faulty Bureau of Land Management program and dumped at auction pens after a year, to being bought by kill buyers and shipped to slaughter houses in Canada and Mexico.  Our government and the Bureau of Land Management can do better than this, they can protect our wild horses better than this.  It's up to us to remind them to do so before it's too late. ​

There are just four wild horse herd management areas that do not have grazing allotments for livestock within them.  Here is a interactive map put together by Western Watersheds Project showing all the grazing allotments across the West where you can zoom in and see who the grazing permits belong to: ​

This painting speaks volumes. Based on a photograph of a family band of Sulpher HMA wild horses being chased by a helicopter.  'It is dedicated to all our beloved wild horses who have lost their lives simply for the crime of existing.'

Click HERE to take action now by contacting essential legislators

The only way to ultimately protect our wild horses (mustangs) and burros is if Congress requires the Bureau of Land Management to follow the existing law to protect wild horses & burros, enacts new legislation to further protect herd areas, and either replaces the Bureau of Land Management as the herd caretakers or requires the BLM to use funding for on-range management planning before roundups and PZP use.  Contact your Representative (member of the House) and both Senators today.  Be factual and use the messages below in your letter, email, fax, or phone call:

The Messages:
Protect our wild horses by requiring the Bureau of Land Management to:
  • To stop the cruel and abusive helicopter roundups
  • To protect our public lands and wildlife by removing livestock, especially within wild horse and burro herd areas
  • To protect our domestic & wild horses from being shipped to slaughter in the US or over our borders by sponsoring the SAFE Act HR 3355 (House) and S 2732 (Senate)

We can make a difference 
​but to do that we all need to unite and make our voices heard!

Is there anything else I can do?

YES!!  Please ask as many people as you can to join the Save Our Wild Horses Campaign!  The more postcards, letters, emails, faxes and phone calls we can do will always help.  We need to let our congressional members, the people who were voted in to office by us, know that the matter of our wild horses is extremely important to the majority of Americans.  If we can get thousands of letters or postcards mailed in, then we will be taken more seriously.  If we can get newspapers and news channels to write articles and air news segments, then more people will get involved and we can make real change!  Find newspaper contacts here: https://jenniferrobin.gallery/news-media-contact/ Are you a teacher or do you know one?  Get classrooms and students involved here!  And please visit wildhorseeducation.org or publichorses.com to learn so much more valuable information regarding our wild horses & burros and public lands.  Another new organization whose founder has years of experience with legal filings against the BLM is Oregon Wild Horse Organization
