Salt River Horses Update

The following is an update from the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign.

Yesterday, wild horse advocates, led by the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group, packed a hearing room at the Arizona House of Representatives Committee on Federalism and States’ Rights meeting. Despite strong public opposition, the Committee approved HB2340, a bill that would allow for the state takeover of the Salt River wild horses, who reside on federal land in the Tonto National Forest. This is a deceptive bill that appears to help the horses, but would actually allow for their removal, relocation and slaughter.
