We’re ready for 2026 — thanks to you
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
As we step into 2026, one thing is clear:
We are ready — because of generous donors like you. Thank you. You helped us reach our $100,000 year-end goal, and with the match, that support is already at work — preparing us for the challenges ahead.
This isn’t the finish line — it’s the moment the gates fly open. Because the threats facing wild horses didn’t end at midnight, they accelerated.
This year, we are expecting:
- Escalating pressure to remove horses from public lands;
- Major legal battles that could define the future of entire herds;
- More roundups in more remote areas, where transparency is hardest;
- And policy decisions that will shape the West for generations.
But we enter this year with real momentum behind us: A herd of supporters who refuse to look away, because we know freedom can’t wait.
Here is what your generosity has made possible for 2026:
- We’ll be on the range — documenting every helicopter roundup.
- We’ll be in the courts — stopping unlawful actions in their tracks.
- We’ll be in D.C. — pushing for science-based wild horse protections.
- And we’ll be on the front lines — when horses and burros need us most.
We’ll stay connected with you every step of the way — because progress comes from a herd that moves together, using its collective horse power to protect freedom.
Our commitment to you is simple: We will show up. We will fight back. And we will defend wild freedom — relentlessly.
Thank you for beginning this defining year with us. Because freedom can’t wait. And now… neither will we.
With deep gratitude,
Patricia Miller
