Celebrating the woman who changed the fate of America’s wild horses
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
More than 70 years ago, a woman in Nevada witnessed something she could not ignore.
Velma “Wild Horse Annie” Johnston was driving along a highway when she noticed blood dripping from a passing livestock truck. When she discovered it came from captured wild horses being hauled away for slaughter, she made a decision that would change history.
Velma wasn’t a politician or a lobbyist — she was an administrative assistant. She believed Americans would care if they knew what was happening to wild horses on our public lands — and she was right.
She organized a grassroots movement that spread across the country. Schoolchildren joined what became known as the “Pencil War,” flooding Congress with handwritten letters demanding protection for wild horses. And, Meredith, their voices worked.
In 1971, Congress passed the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, recognizing wild horses as “living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West” and placing them under federal protection.
It remains one of the most powerful wildlife protection laws ever passed in the United States.
But today, the promise of that law is being steadily weakened.
Across the West, wild horses are being removed from their homes through aggressive helicopter roundups and placed into government holding facilities by the tens of thousands. At the same time, wild horse habitat continues to shrink while commercial livestock grazing on public lands continues largely unchanged. In fact, on many of the same landscapes where wild horses are blamed for land degradation, there are roughly 30 cattle authorized for every single wild horse.
The result is a troubling reality: Wild horses — the very animals Congress once moved to protect — are increasingly treated as obstacles rather than icons.
Wild Horse Annie showed the world that ordinary people can shape the future of these animals. Today, we must do the same.
As part of our Month of Action, will you act now to help hold the line for America’s wild horses? →

Velma Johnston proved that one person speaking up can spark a movement. Together, we can ensure her legacy continues.

Antelope HMA: 344 horses removed — here’s what happened next →
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) “emergency” roundup outside the Antelope Herd Management Area has now concluded. Below are the final outcomes that our team of observers witnessed:
- 344 wild horses were captured: 131 stallions, 147 mares, 66 foals
- Three deaths occurred during the course of these removals — including a yearling who suffered a fatal neck fracture at the trap site.
However, and equally disturbing story has begun now that this roundup has concluded.
In the days following this removal, our Investigations Team documented a dramatic expansion of listings on the BLM’s Sale Authority website — growing from roughly 40 pages to nearly 70, many featuring horses under five years old.
Under federal law, horses can enter the Sale Authority if they are over 10 years old or have been offered unsuccessfully for adoption three times. But when emergency roundups rapidly increase the number of horses entering the system, more animals are pushed through this pipeline faster — reducing transparency and increasing the long-term risk to these federally protected horses.
At the same time, federal officials continue advancing a goal of placing 20,000 horses per year into adoption or sale channels, while rapidly scaling the online corral system to move animals faster.
That raises a serious question: Has the government demonstrated that humane placement capacity exists before accelerating removals? Meredith, precedent tells us the answer is no.
When removals outpace real demand, the risks to these horses grow. And as more animals are funneled into Sale Authority, federal safeguards fall away.
This is not sustainable management. It is a slaughter pipeline.
We will not stay silent as “emergency” roundups feed a system that cannot responsibly sustain the volume being removed.
This is exactly why we launched our Hold the Line campaign — to push back when “emergency” becomes a shortcut and to ensure wild horses are protected by law, not processed by quota. Stand with us, Meredith. Demand transparency, accountability, and real checks before more horses are taken.

This Super Bowl commercial reminded us what’s at stake for wild horses
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
If you watched the Super Bowl this weekend, you likely saw the Clydesdales — powerful and steady, accompanied by another unmistakable American icon, the bald eagle. Two powerful American symbols, together.
What many people don’t realize is that wild horses and bald eagles are the only two animals federally protected by Congress — meant to symbolize our nation’s commitment to preserving its natural heritage.
But for America’s wild horses and burros, that promise of protection is being broken in practice. Today, only about 55,000 wild horses remain free on our public lands — while roughly 62,000 are confined in government holding facilities, removed from the very landscapes they were meant to be protected on.
Across the West, wild horses are driven from their homes, separated from their families, and funneled into a federal holding system that was never designed to warehouse tens of thousands of wild animals. Once removed, their futures become increasingly uncertain — and oversight too often falls short of what true protection should mean.
These animals don’t have a voice in the rooms where decisions are made. They only have us.
That’s why American Wild Horse Conservation exists — to stand between wild horses and harmful management practices, to monitor government actions on the ground, and to fight for policies that actually uphold their legal protections.
Today, we’re asking you to do two simple but powerful things:
1) Share why you’re in this fight.
At the link here, share a photo, a memory, or a few words about why wild horses and burros matter to you. Your voice helps remind the public that these animals are not just symbols — they are living beings who deserve real protection. With your permission, we’ll be sharing some of these responses over the coming days across our channels.
2) Make a gift to protect wild horses and burros.
Your donation powers on-the-ground observers, legal action, and advocacy that holds agencies accountable when wild horses are put in harm’s way.
Symbols only matter if we defend what they stand for. Let’s honor both these cherished icons — not just in the media, but in real life.
With gratitude,

An update from Nevada: What our observers witnessed
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
Last week, we reached out to let you know that the first round up of the year was underway — an emergency wild horse roundup in Nevada — and that American Wild Horse Conservation had placed observers on the ground to independently document the operation.
One of our core commitments is to deploy independent observers to every roundup possible. Because roundup operations move quickly and access is often restricted, our presence on the ground helps ensure there is transparency when decisions are made in real time — and that what happens to wild horses is witnessed, documented, and made part of the public record.
Now that the first roundup of 2026 has concluded, Meredith, we wanted to share a brief update with what our team saw on the ground:
- Over several days, approximately 180 wild horses were captured and removed from the range and seven horses were euthanized.
- Our observers documented horses being driven by helicopter into trap sites in cold winter conditions, showing visible signs of exhaustion and distress.
- During sorting and loading, horses panicked in confined pens, with some attempting to climb over one another. Observers were repeatedly denied access to temporary holding facilities, preventing independent assessment of horses’ condition after removal.
Pictured: Distressed wild horses climbing on top of each other at the trap site
The Bureau of Land Management carried out the roundup of the Owyhee Complex under “emergency authority” — a designation that allowed the agency to move forward quickly, with limited public notice and little opportunity for meaningful public oversight. As we’ve seen repeatedly, when the BLM invokes emergency authority,transparency is often one of the first things to disappear.
Despite these restrictions, and because of the resources supporters like you provide, Meredith, AWHC was prepared to respond on short notice, and place trained observers onsite to document the roundup from start to finish.
The full Owyhee Complex Roundup Report is now available. You can read the final report to see exactly what our observers documented, from daily observations, to animal welfare concerns, and access limitations encountered during the operation.

Introducing Hold the Line: Our Commitment to Accountability
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
Today, American Wild Horse Conservation is launching Hold the Line — a yearly organizational commitment to vigilance, accountability, and action to ensure America’s wild horse protections are upheld as intended.
Wild horses are federally protected icons. That protection must be more than words on paper — it must be honored in practice.
Over the past year, we have listened closely to our community of advocates, sanctuaries, rescues, and supporters. We have heard growing concern about agency conduct that undermines the spirit and letter of wild horse protections. We share that concern and refuse to accept it as “business as usual.”
Hold the Line is our response.
Each year, this initiative focuses on a specific area where heightened oversight is required. Last year, this was the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Adoption Incentive program. In 2026, our focus is the BLM’s Sale Authority — a program that acts as an off-ramp out of federal protection, leaving wild horses vulnerable the moment they are sold.
When safeguards are weak, wild horses pay the price — losing their freedom, their families, and in too many cases, their lives.
This is not a moment. It is a mandate.
This campaign is about holding the line, collectively — ensuring accountability from the agencies entrusted with the care and management of wild horses, and protecting these animals from practices that place them in harm’s way.
More details will follow in the weeks ahead, including how advocates, partners, and the public can stand with us.
For now, know this:
We are watching. We are listening. And we are taking action.

An emergency wild horse roundup is about to begin in Nevada
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
An emergency wild horse roundup is set to begin today in Nevada — and we want you to know that this is exactly why American Wild Horse Conservation exists.
From the very beginning, AWHC was founded to serve as a watchdog — to be the checks and balances when federal agencies move quickly or quietly, and to ensure the treatment of wild horses and burros is witnessed, documented, and held to account.
And our team is on the ground.
Because our team is prepared to respond on short notice, we were able to mobilize resources and place a trained observer at the roundup site to independently document what happens and provide oversight as this operation unfolds.
Here’s what we know so far:
Today, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) begins a multi-day emergency wild horse roundup in and around the Snowstorm Mountain and Little Humboldt Herd Management Areas (HMA) of Nevada. We learned of the operation late Friday, and because of the way it was announced, there was little public notice before it began.
What’s especially significant is that the BLM is proceeding with this roundup under “emergency” authority, claiming the horses are in poor body condition due to a fire that burned in the HMAs.
When agencies rely on emergency authority, transparency can disappear overnight. That makes independent monitoring more critical than ever.
A Fiscal Year 2026 roundup schedule has not been released yet so we don’t know how the West’s wild horses will be impacted, but we do know when we are on the ground at these removals, we are the eyes and the ears of the American public.
As this operation continues, we’ll share updates from the field and keep you informed about what we’re seeing and what it means — not just for the horses in Nevada, but for wild horse policy nationwide.
Moments like this underscore how critical independent observation is. AWHC’s Observation Fund makes it possible for us to deploy trained observers on short notice — ensuring transparency, documentation, and accountability when wild horses are most vulnerable.
As this roundup continues, we will keep you informed every step of the way.
With appreciation,
American Wild Horse Conservation
Congress advances humane protections for wild horses and burros
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
e’re eager to share some very exciting breaking news:
After months of advocacy, both the House and Senate have officially passed the FY26 Interior Appropriations bill, securing critical funding for America’s wild horses and burros for the year ahead.
This progress didn’t happen by chance. It reflects months of work by AWHC’s government relations team on the ground, the trusted relationships we’ve built with wild horse champions in the bipartisan Wild Horse Caucus, and — just as importantly — supporters like you, Meredith, who reached out to your elected officials and demanded better outcomes for our cherished wild herds.
Together, this combination of strategy, relationships, and public pressure made this win possible.
| POWER OUR WORK |
The final bill includes:
- Up to $11 million in funding for immunocontraceptive vaccines, enabling large-scale fertility control implementation
- Expectations from Congress that fertility control programs continue to grow alongside this funding
- Preservation of the slaughter ban, protecting wild horses and burros from commercial exploitation
- No inclusion of permanent sterilization – a rejection of the BLM’s past proposals requesting these types of inhumane experiments
This is real progress. But it is not the end of the fight.
In 2026, federal agencies will decide how these funds are implemented, how policies are interpreted, and whether humane reforms are strengthened — or quietly undermined. That’s why AWHC is preparing to expand our government relations work in the year ahead.
We need to be present — consistently — in Washington and beyond:
- Monitoring the implementation of FY26 funding
- Engaging lawmakers and agency leadership
- Defending hard-won protections to ensure they stay intact
- Advancing proactive reforms that keep wild horses on the range

Horses are stepping into the spotlight this year
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
2026 brings a rare convergence of equine moments that will shine a powerful spotlight on horses — wild, working, therapeutic, and legendary. From cultural milestones to major media, horses will be front and center — and how their stories are told matters.
One of those special moments is 2026’s Year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese zodiac — a powerful symbol of energy, movement, and transformation that only occurs once every 60 years. But it’s not the only reason horses will capture attention in 2026.
| I’M WITH YOU! |
This week, a major new documentary — Horse Power, narrated by Josh Brolin and produced in partnership with American Wild Horse Conservation — premieres to the public in Fort Worth Texas. The film follows horses across the globe: from wild mustangs in Nevada to the deep connection between Mongolian horses and their riders alongside service and therapy horses whose quiet strength changes human lives.
The premiere begins this Thursday — launching early to coincide with the Fort Worth Stock Show, which attracts more than one million visitors annually.
With horses capturing attention across culture, media, and public life this year, the moment couldn’t be more consequential. And at the same time, 2026 will be a defining year for America’s wild horses.
Major roundups are planned. Critical legal and policy decisions are underway. What happens this year could determine the future of entire herds for generations.
As horses capture public attention, we need supporters with us — helping spread awareness, share accurate information, and ensure wild horses are not left out of the story. So we’re asking: Will you stand with us?

TAKE ACTION: The House just passed the FY26 spending bill >>
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
BREAKING: The U.S. House just passed the FY26 spending bill.
Urge your senators to do the same:
Last month, we reached out to you with urgent emails asking you to speak up as Congress finalized the FY26 Interior Appropriations process — and today, we’re excited to be able to share an important step forward made possible by your sustained public advocacy.
After months of public pressure, the U.S. House has voted to advance FY26 Interior Appropriations language that includes critical funding and protections for America’s wild horses and burros.
Your support helped move the needle, Meredith — here’s what the House’s bill includes:
- Clear expectations from Congress that investment in humane, science-based solutions will increase;
- Up to $11 million of the overall Wild Horse and Burro budget specifically designated towards immunocontraceptive (fertility control) vaccines and away from dangerous permanent sterilization procedures;
- And a ban on the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from euthanizing healthy wild horses and burros.
This House vote represents meaningful progress — but this is not the finish line.
The Senate has not yet voted and these protections are not guaranteed unless the Senate hears strong, continued pressure from constituents.
The Senate could vote as soon as Monday on the approved House bill. That makes these final hours critical. Will you tell your Senators to ensure these critical protections for wild horses are included in the final FY26 package?
| TAKE ACTION |
Thank you for taking action, adding your voice, and standing with us during this critical moment in the FY26 process.

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.

2026 is just hours away, Meredith — and freedom can’t wait
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
In just hours, the calendar will turn — and 2026 will begin.
Before that happens, we want to pause and recognize what you helped make possible this year — and why the moment ahead matters so much.
In 2025, we won some historic legal victories. Together, we:
- Shut down the federal Adoption Incentive Program, a corrupt scheme that funneled wild horses and burros to slaughter;
- Won a major federal appeals court ruling in Wyoming, halting the largest attempted eradication of wild horses in U.S. history;
- And won critical Freedom of Information Act lawsuits, forcing the government to turn over thousands of pages of records that brought critical accountability and transparency to their wild horse and burro management program.
These wins weren’t symbolic — they were hard-fought and they saved lives.
But as we head into 2026, the pressure to remove wild horses from public lands is not slowing down — it’s intensifying. More roundups. More legal battles. More moments when someone has to be there.

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?
| DONATE BEFORE MIDNIGHT |
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.

Thank you for standing with wild horses,

Someone from AWHC was watching that day
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
Before the noise came, the land was familiar. I knew where to step. I knew my baby, Dune would follow.
That morning, nothing felt different — until it was. On November 15, at our home in the Buffalo Hills of Nevada, helicopters chased our herd across the land we have always known.
Burros like us were not meant to be driven this way. Our instincts — to stop, to brace, to protect our young — make these chases more dangerous, not less.
As the helicopters came down, I kept Dune close — always just a few steps away. When the ground felt uncertain, I slowed for him. When he hesitated, I waited.
That is how burros survive. We do not scatter easily. We do not run blindly into danger. When we are afraid, we stop. We stand. We look for safety.
But on that day, nowhere was safe.
I stayed with Dune as long as I could. I placed myself between him and what was coming. I thought we might be free and safe when our family was taken away. But then, the helicopter returned — just for us.
Seven men surrounded us. Ropes flew.
I felt the pull.
I felt my baby fall beside me.
We were taken to a place with fences and noise. I don’t know where my family is now. I only know that we are not going back.
Humans have decided there is no place for burros here anymore. Their goal was to remove every single one of us. 33 of us were taken from Buffalo Hills, 4 did not survive.
An observer from American Wild Horse Conservation was watching that day. They saw what happened to us. They documented it — because without witnesses, no one would ever know our story.
Your support makes it possible for AWHC to be there — to stand watch, to tell the truth, and to fight for a future where families like mine are not torn apart by force.

FWD: Protecting horses like Wally
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
Wally’s story is not an isolated one. It’s a warning.
There are so many other horses like Wally facing the same threats. That’s why AWHC exists—to prevent what happened to him from happening to any other wild horse or burro through in-the-wild conservation and meaningful policy change that only happens because supporters like you step up when it matters most.
As we approach the end of the year and prepare for what lies ahead in 2026, your support ensures AWHC can continue our fight to protect wild horses — whether on the range, in holding, or hidden in plain sight online.
