Wild horse fertility control WORKS
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
For six years, our determined team has been rewriting what’s possible for wild horse management. Now, the data is in — and the results speak for themselves:
| In the last six years, we’ve made real progress, without trauma to wild horses.
82% population growth reductions 1,600+ fertility control treatments delivered in one year $0 cost to taxpayers |
| GET THE FACTS |
Spanning 300,000 acres and tracking over 3,400 individually identified horses, this is now the largest humane wild horse management program in the world. But the reality is, the Virginia Range wild horses are losing their habitat every day to rapid development encroaching on their wild lands.
So with the support of more than 90 landowners, 40+ trained volunteers, and a growing network of partners, our fertility control program is keeping them wild while being internationally recognized as a model for what’s possible — most recently in the peer-reviewed journal Vaccines.

These results are more than encouraging — they are a blueprint. Humane, large-scale wild horse management is not only achievable, it’s already happening. It offers a clear path forward — effective, compassionate, and backed by science.
This kind of impact is only possible because of supporters like you. Your commitment makes humane, science-backed solutions a reality. Together, we’ll build on this proven success and protect even more wild horses.
Onward,
