Wild Mustang/Burro Campaigns

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: In the untamed beauty of Nevada’s Fish Springs Range lives a love story like no other. Blue and Lady are the king and queen of this wild desert landscape. Blue embodies the spirit of a true wild stallion — fiercely protective and resilient, shaped by grit and molded by the harsh desert sun. Lady, a stunning and wise mare, has raised generations of wild horses, her innate intuition keeping her family safe and free. Photos of Blue and Lady at Fish Springs Range by John T. Humphrey For years, these two remarkable wild horses have stood by each other’s side. When Blue naps, Lady stands watch. When visitors spot Lady, they know that Blue is never far away. Their unwavering love has withstood fierce challenges from rival stallions, bitter winters, and the ever-changing demands of life in the wild. This Valentine’s Day, will you join us in honoring a love as wild and enduring as that of Blue and Lady by supporting the American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC)?

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: At the American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC), we are constantly inspired by the dedication and passion of our supporters. Today, we want to share the incredible story of Kristie Churchly and her teenage daughter, Layla, whose advocacy for America’s wild horses has sparked meaningful change. Their journey began with a family trip to Sand Wash Basin Herd Management Area (HMA) in northwest Colorado, where they were captivated by the beauty and strong family bonds of the wild mustangs living there. Seeing the iconic stallion Picasso sealed their passion for wild horse conservation. That passion continued to grow over the years, culminating in a remarkable moment in Layla’s high school biology class. After a lesson on wild horse management that left out critical details about the challenges these animals face and the humane conservation solutions available, Layla saw an opportunity. Photo by Tandin Chapman Determined to make a difference, she conducted research, met with her teacher, and helped expand the curriculum to present a more comprehensive and accurate portrayal of wild horse issues. Her courage and enthusiasm inspired her classmates and demonstrated the power of one thoughtful voice to spark positive change. Layla’s advocacy didn’t stop there — she even gentled a yearling mustang named Story through the Meeker Mustang Makeover, and her family ultimately adopted him. At AWHC, we’re proud to work alongside passionate advocates like Kristie and Layla, who show that every action, big or small, can make a difference for America’s wild horses. There are so many ways you can join this important mission: Volunteer: Whether it’s participating in events or advocating for humane management practices, your involvement directly impacts the future of wild horses. Donate: The most powerful way to make a lasting difference is by donating. Your gift supports AWHC's vital work to protect wild horses and ensure they remain wild and free. DONATE Together, we can build a future where wild horses continue to roam freely as a living symbol of freedom and resilience. Thank you for standing with us. Warmly, Team AWHC ...

A Troubling Start to the 2025 Observation Season Last week, the United States Forest Service (USFS) suddenly restarted the Devil’s Garden wild horse roundup. The restart came with little-to-no notice and troubling restrictions: the USFS limited public observation to just two days and capped attendance at four individuals. AWHC is on alert to ensure this does not signal a change in the public’s already diminished right to view and document wild horse roundups. Read more about this shift and how AWHC took action.
