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.
With deep gratitude,
Patricia Miller

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.

Wally wasn’t found on the open range — he was found on Facebook
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
This is how Wally was found.
Not out on the open range. Not with his family band. But in photos posted to Facebook Marketplace — listed for sale like an object, not a living, breathing being:
Earlier this year, our rescue partners at Wild Heart Restart Ranch came across Wally’s listing while monitoring online sales. The photos showed a horse quietly waiting — vulnerable, unprotected, and one step away from disappearing into a system where horses are bought, flipped, and too often funneled toward slaughter.
Meredith, this should never happen — yet bad actors have exploited wild horses for years. That’s why AWHC responds wherever harm occurs by uncovering abuse through investigation, taking legal action to hold perpetrators accountable, and supporting rescue partners when we can to make a lifesaving difference.
In Wally’s case, your support made it possible for us to give a grant to Wild Heart Restart Ranch to:
- Fund Wally’s purchase, removing him from immediate risk,
- Cover his veterinary care,
- And pay for his September board so that he could recover safely with our trusted partners.
Because of you, Wally is no longer a listing on Facebook. He’s a mustang with a future.
Your support allows us to respond when horses need help, dig deep when exploitation must be exposed, and take decisive legal action to protect wild horses from those who profit off their suffering.

Remembering one of our biggest wins for wild horses — because you refused to look away >>
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
Often, the most important victories don’t happen all at once. They happen slowly — through years of documentation, investigation and persistence, made possible by supporters like you who refused to look away.
This year, that work led to a breakthrough when American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC) shut down a federal program that was sending wild horses and burros to slaughter.
After years of investigation and a four-year legal battle fueled by our Legal Fund, a federal judge ruled that implementation of the government’s Adoption Incentive Program (AIP) was unlawful — and ordered it shut down entirely. This decision ended a scheme that was defrauding taxpayers and funneling thousands of wild horses into the slaughter pipeline.
| PROTECT MORE LIVES — GIVE NOW! |
This victory didn’t happen overnight, but it did start with 20 horses who I will never forget.
In 2020, we identified 20 wild horses at the Cleburne Livestock Auction in Texas. Their adopters had received ownership just over a month earlier — right after collecting $1,000 in government incentive payments through the AIP. Now, these horses faced slaughter.
I was horrified. I was outraged. And I vowed to not give up until this program was shut down.
Ever since then, our team has followed the money, followed the horses, and Meredith, what we uncovered was devastating.
A program meant to help wild horses find homes was instead incentivizing their sale to kill buyers. Adopters pocketed government payments — then flipped horses at slaughter auctions just days later. Our investigation identified more than 2,000 wild horses and burros at risk, drew national attention, exposed the scheme through a front page New York Times exposé, and prompted Congressional outrage. Then, we took the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to court.
Because supporters like you refused to look away, this dangerous loophole is now closed. This victory proves that sustained advocacy and legal action work.
But, Meredith, freedom can’t wait — and neither can reform.
Shutting down the Adoption Incentive Program was a critical step, but it’s not the finish line. Now we’re conducting an investigation into the BLM’s Sale Authority Program and its link to the slaughter pipeline. The fight for stronger safeguards continues — and as we head into 2026, the stakes have never been higher.
| PROTECT MORE LIVES — GIVE NOW! |
Because when we fight together, we win.

The pressure is rising for wild horses and burros
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
| DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT — DONATE NOW! |
We wanted to follow up quickly as our year-end campaign gets underway.
The reality is this: what happens next for America’s wild horses is being decided right now. And as we head into 2026, the pressure to remove horses from public lands isn’t slowing down — it’s accelerating.
That’s why we’ve set an urgent goal to raise $100,000 by December 31, with every gift matched to help power the fight ahead.
Your support makes it possible for AWHC to:
- Prove there’s a humane way to manage wild herds
- Hold the government accountable
- Defend wild horses through Congress, science, advocacy, and the courts

YEAR-END GOAL: $100,000 by December 31 to face what’s coming in 2026
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
If you’ve ever stood on America’s public lands, you know the feeling — the stillness, the open horizon, the knowing that some places still remain truly wild.
There is nothing like seeing a wild horse living free. But freedom is becoming harder to find.
Today, around 55,000 wild horses still roam our public lands. Meanwhile, 62,000 more have been torn from their families and confined in government holding after helicopter roundups. Families have been separated. Bands are broken. The rhythms of the wild are interrupted — sometimes forever.
This is why we fight.
Because of supporters like you, AWHC has proven that a different future is possible — one rooted in science, accountability, and humane solutions that keep wild horses where they belong, wild and free. Together, we’ve shown that protecting wild horses doesn’t mean choosing between compassion and practicality.
But the threats have not disappeared. Helicopters still fly. Pressure to remove horses from the land remains relentless. And in 2026, this pressure will only intensify.
As AWHC approaches our 10th year, we are entering a defining chapter — one that will shape the future of wild horses far beyond any single administration or budget cycle. We are building something designed to endure:
- Land protected forever;
- Science that cannot be ignored;
- And a movement too powerful to silence.

Holiday thank-you to our wild horse advocates ❤️
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
As the year comes to a close, I wanted to reach out to wish you and your family a happy holiday and thank you for lending your voice, your time, and your passion to American Wild Horse Conservation this year. Your advocacy and action helped power this movement throughout 2025, and we are deeply grateful for all the ways you showed up for wild horses.
2025 was a full and meaningful year for our movement. Together, we showed up for America’s wild horses in powerful ways — defending vulnerable herds, documenting the reality our wild herds face during roundups, advancing humane, science-based solutions, and continuing to build a growing grassroots army advocating for a better future for these iconic animals.
This year, your actions mattered. You volunteered, signed petitions, contacted lawmakers, shared our messages, and stood with us in moments of urgency. You helped amplify the call for better protections for wild horses and burros. Your commitment reminded us of something essential: change is driven by people — and when it comes to protecting wild horses, freedom can’t wait.
As you spend time with loved ones this holiday season, I hope you’ll take a moment to reflect on the role you played in protecting America’s wild horses and burros, and feel proud of the impact you helped create.
On behalf of the Board, staff, and everyone at American Wild Horse Conservation, thank you for standing with us this year. We are deeply grateful for you, and we look ahead to the new year with hope, determination, and appreciation for this extraordinary community.
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a peaceful New Year.

Your gift went straight to the front lines:
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
This year, when wild horses needed protection, your support didn’t just help — it delivered.
Because donors like you stepped up, American Wild Horse Conservation was able to take concrete, on-the-ground action that protected wild horses when it mattered most.
Here’s exactly what your generosity made possible:
$20 gifts supplied safety vests for AWHC field observers — allowing our teams to safely document 100% of federal wild horse roundups this year. Every helicopter chase, every trap, every injury was witnessed and recorded.
$200 gifts covered professional camera lens rentals, ensuring we captured clear, indisputable footage from inside government operations — footage that exposed cruelty, informed litigation, and reached millions of Americans.
$500 gifts funded extended field deployments, covering fuel, vehicles, and lodging so our teams could remain on-site for weeks at a time in some of the most remote regions of the West.
Targeted conservation gifts funded humane fertility control, reducing foal births by up to 77% in areas where horses are losing their habitat. These proven programs are protecting horses on the range without violence or removals.
Small and large gifts alike powered legal action and investigations that shut down the slaughter-linked Adoption Incentive Program, halted a massive eradication effort in Wyoming, and defended the federal slaughter ban.
This is what impact looks like. Not just promises — real protection, paid for by generous donors like you.
The threats facing wild horses are growing — but so is the impact of a community willing to act. And this year, you proved what’s possible when we refuse to look away.
From all of us at AWHC — and from the wild horses and burros whose lives you helped protect — thank you for making this work possible.
With gratitude,
American Wild Horse Conservation
P.S. If you’re considering a year-end gift, please know this: We take your trust seriously. Every dollar you give is used where it matters most — turning directly into action on the ground, from safety gear and field documentation to litigation and humane conservation that keeps wild horses free. Your support determines how much protection we can deliver in the year ahead.
The fight is not over
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
Congress left Washington without passing the FY26 spending bill.
Public pressure between now and when they return in January will be essential to prevent rollbacks and secure critical protections for wild horses in the final budget.
The fight is not over. If you’re with us, please send a message to your elected officials demanding protections for America’s wild herds in the FY26 spending bill.

URGENT: Congress will recess for the year tomorrow
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
time is running out before Congress recesses until the new year.
This weekend, lawmakers will leave Washington, and decisions made before Friday — a vote on the FY26 spending bill could even happen as soon as today — will shape the future of America’s wild horses and burros in 2026 and beyond.
That’s why, Meredith, we wanted to share two critical actions you can take to protect wild horses and ensure their freedom doesn’t slip further out of reach.
Will you join us in calling on your members of Congress to make sure wild horses are protected in 2026?
- Tell Congress to protect wild horses in the FY26 budget
The Senate is finalizing the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bill, which will determine how wild horses and burros are treated for the next year. We’re urging Senators to include three essential protections in the final bill:
- Maintain the federal slaughter ban for wild horses and burros;
- Fund humane fertility control at $11 million, matching the House’s commitment;
- And prevent mass transfers of horses, including transfers to foreign governments without oversight.
These protections have saved thousands of wild horses — but they are not guaranteed unless lawmakers hear from constituents right now.
| TAKE ACTION |
- Tell Congress to support AWHC’s Horse Protection Platform for 2026
As we look ahead to 2026, wild horses face escalating threats — from large-scale helicopter roundups to overcrowded holding facilities and renewed pressure on humane safeguards. That’s why AWHC, alongside leading animal welfare organizations, has outlined a comprehensive Horse Protection Platform that calls on Congress to:
- Join and strengthen the bipartisan Wild Horse Caucus
- Cosponsor legislation to phase out cruel helicopter roundups
- Support the SAFE Act to permanently ban horse slaughter and export for slaughter
- Support humane, science-based management solutions
This platform represents the roadmap for meaningful reform — but it will only move forward if Congress hears from people like you, Meredith.
| TAKE ACTION |
With Congress preparing to adjourn, this is our final opportunity in 2025 to influence decisions that will affect wild horses for years to come.
These actions take just minutes — but their impact will last far longer. Will you take action today to protect wild horses in 2026?
Thank you for standing with us — and for speaking up when it matters most.
With gratitude,
American Wild Horse Conservation
Wild Horse Annie and 54 Years of the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
Today, 54 years ago, Congress passed the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act — the landmark legislation that first ensured federal protection for America’s wild herds.
This law changed everything. It recognized what millions of Americans already believed: Our wild horses deserve freedom.
But this Act didn’t come out of nowhere, Meredith. It exists because one woman refused to stay silent.
Velma “Wild Horse Annie” Johnston witnessed the brutal capture and slaughter of Nevada’s wild horses in the 1950s. She pushed back tirelessly — organizing a nationwide grassroots movement, mobilizing schoolchildren across the country, and generating more letters to Congress than almost any issue of that era. Her work galvanized the country and ultimately led to the unanimous passage of the Wild Horse & Burro Act of 1971.
But 54 years later, the promise she fought for is under threat.
Special interests have weakened core protections. Helicopter roundups continue to remove thousands of horses each year. More than 62,000 wild horses and burros are now trapped in holding facilities — more than remain even in the wild. Critical herds face shrinking habitats, fragmented ranges, and increased political pressure.
This is why AWHC exists — to defend the legacy Annie built and uphold the spirit of the Act she made possible. And we need your help to continue that fight.
We’re protecting America’s wild horses by:
- Challenging harmful policies in court
- Documenting every roundup
- Advancing humane, science-backed fertility control
- Fighting in Congress to strengthen protections
- Working with Tribal and local partners to build lasting solutions
But to continue this work into 2026, we must make progress toward our End-of-Year goal of $100,000. Wild Horse Annie didn’t just defend wild horses — she built a nationwide grassroots movement that proved change happens when everyday people raise their voices together.
Today, AWHC is carrying that legacy forward by building grassroots power, holding agencies accountable, and fighting to strengthen the Wild Horse & Burro Act so its promise endures for generations to come.
