Celebrating all the wild horse moms this Mother’s Day!
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
This Mother’s Day, as we celebrate the nurturing, resilient, and protective spirit of mothers everywhere, let’s take a moment to also honor some of the most devoted moms in the wild — the mares of America’s wild horse herds.

These incredible mothers face constant challenges. From surviving harsh environments to protecting their young from predators and even government roundups, wild horse mares embody strength and sacrifice every day.
But they can’t do it alone. Right now, wild mares and their precious foals are at risk. Starting in just two months, federal roundups threaten to tear families apart, placing thousands of horses in government holding pens — many never to run free again.
Thank you for standing with all the wild moms out there.
With gratitude,
American Wild Horse Conservation
