Your Senators need to hear from you before April 13
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
The U.S. Senate has until April 13 to sign onto a letter supporting humane wild horse reforms in the FY27 Interior Appropriations bill. Your representative needs to hear from you today.
| TAKE ACTION |
We have a new opportunity — and a tight deadline — to push for real change for America’s wild horses and burros.
Right now, a Senate appropriations letter is circulating that calls for more humane, responsible management of wild herds on public lands. Senators only have until April 13 to sign on.
| TAKE ACTION |
For too long, federal management has relied on a costly and outdated approach: removing wild horses from the range and placing them into long-term holding. Today, tens of thousands of animals are confined in government facilities — a system that continues to grow more expensive and harder to sustain every year.
At the same time, proven, humane tools like fertility control — which can manage populations without removing horses from their habitat — remain dramatically underused.
This is exactly the kind of imbalance this Senate letter aims to address. By encouraging investment in humane, science-based solutions, it represents a meaningful step toward breaking the cycle of roundups and long-term confinement.
But it only works if enough Senators sign on before the deadline. And, that’s where you come in.
When advocates like you spoke out during the House effort, lawmakers paid attention — we were able to garner a record-breaking 91 signatures from members of Congress! Now, we need that same energy focused on the Senate.

This is one of those moments where a simple action — just a few clicks — can help shape the future of how wild horses are treated on our public lands.
Thank you for standing with America’s wild horses and burros,
