A detailed breakdown of why *right now* matters

The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:

Right now, America’s wild horses and burros are facing unprecedented threats. They continue to be chased, trapped, and removed from the public lands across the American West that these innocent animals have called home for centuries.

Helicopters are driving families across miles of rugged terrain.
Foals are being pushed to exhaustion.
Burros are standing their ground in the face of danger — and paying the price for it.

And because of supporters like you, American Wild Horse Conservation is there to witness every. single. roundup. that takes place at the hands of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and its contractors.

As we continue to fight back in 2026, will you be there with us?

Here’s why we need you today:

In 2025, AWHC documented 100% of Bureau of Land Management wild horse and burro roundups — every helicopter, every trap.

Our observers are often the only independent witnesses on the range. Without them, these operations would happen out of public view, without accountability, and without evidence to challenge cruelty in court or in Congress.

Here’s why now matters:

Presence is irreplaceable.

You cannot expose abuse without seeing it.
You cannot challenge unlawful actions without documentation.
And you cannot protect wild horses from behind a desk.

As we head into 2026, the pressure to remove wild horses from public lands is intensifying. More roundups are planned. More families are at risk. More moments will demand that someone is there.

Here’s why you matter:

Your support keeps AWHC on the ground.

It supports the observer who documented Mesa and Dune.
It supports the footage used in federal court.
And it ensures that no roundup happens without witnesses.

With just hours left in the year, your 2X-Matched donation helps power our work and keep eyes on the range when it matters most. Will you join us with a donation before midnight?

Thank you for standing with wild horses,

AWHC Team
