Time is running out.

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

We are almost out of time.

With just hours left until our big end-of-year fundraising deadline, I’m urgently emailing you one last time to ask you to help us hit our critical $200,000 fundraising goal. Can you rush a donation right away? >>

The American Wild Horse Campaign is the nation’s leading wild horse and burro conservation organization, and our commitment to these animals is unwavering. With the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) recent announcement of its intent to remove over 20,000 wild horses and burros in 2024, the need for our work has never been greater.

Our end-of-year deadline is our last chance to lay the financial foundation for our 2024 agenda.

CHIP IN

As I reflect on the year, one haunting image stands out: a Palomino stallion leaping from a six foot trap at the BLM’s Antelope Complex roundup. The gut wrenching photo captured his courage, yet it’s marred by the sight of his left rear leg dangling, horribly broken in the escape. This stallion, showing incredible fortitude, ran off on three legs, and managed to elude wranglers for 36 minutes before being roped and euthanized by gunshot.

The tragic incident — documented by an AWHC photographer — was covered by newspapers and television stations across the country. It serves as a resounding reminder of everything we are trying to protect and everything we need to change.

The truth is you are the key ingredient for this change. With your support, we can continue this important conservation work, Meredith.

As we enter 2024, we are gaining ground with growing opposition to the current system. We won’t rest until the cruel practices that stole the freedom and life of that palomino stallion are eradicated for good.

That’s why I’m humbly asking you to join me in supporting our cause. Please, can you make a donation of any amount today to help us continue our critical work in 2024? We must reach our $200,000 fundraising goal before midnight tonight, so please chip in whatever you can afford.

Thank you for continuing to stand with us in the fight for freedom for our majestic wild horses and burros.

FWD: Did you see the email about the rescue fund?

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

Hey,

Did you see our email about the Rescue Fund this morning? We need your help to power programs like this to help mustangs and burros like Meli and Catori. With just hours to go until we close the books on 2023, we’re rushing to hit our end-of-year fundraising goal.

There’s one thing that makes our Rescue Fund successful: you. You are the reason we’re able to power this program. We’ve done a lot with this fund this year, and we have an action packed agenda for next year.

With the clock ticking, I’m personally asking you: Will you chip in to the American Wild Horse Campaign and help us fuel important programs like our Rescue Fund? We need your help to raise $200,000 before the end of the year, and your donation could be the one that helps us hit our goal.

DONATE

Thank you,

Meredith,

Our Rescue Fund powers a variety of critically important work, from providing lifesaving medical care to foals on the Virginia Range, to outbidding kill buyers at slaughter auctions to protect victims of the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) failed Adoption Incentive Program (AIP). Today, we’d like to share the heartwarming stories of two mares we helped rescue earlier this year thanks to the support of folks like you.

But first, we’re going to ask that you chip in to our End-of-Year goal so we can refuel our Rescue Fund ahead of 2024. As of right now, it’s nearly depleted – and with over 20,000 wild horses and burros set to be rounded up next year, it’s vital we bolster this fund to ensure we’re ready to spring into action.

That’s why today, a portion of the funds we raise towards our end-of-year goal will go directly towards refueling our Rescue Fund. These animals need our support, and with our critical deadline just a day away, we need all hands on deck. Can you make a contribution to the American Wild Horse Campaign ASAP?

Meet Meli and Catori:

Earlier this year, we received word of two mares in a notorious Oklahoma kill pen who were days away from being shipped across the border to slaughter. We knew we couldn’t turn our backs on these innocent mustangs, so we leapt into action and contacted RJF Equine, who rushed to the kill pen and picked them up for quarantine.

Unsurprisingly, these two mares were victims of the Bureau of Land Management’s Adoption Incentive Program (AIP), which pays adopters $1,000 to adopt BLM horses and burros. As AWHC’s investigation revealed, far too many individuals are sending their adopted mustangs to slaughter once they receive their federal payout, and Meli and Catori were no exception.

The poor mares were traumatized and they needed time to decompress and heal before moving to their new home. But after taking some time to recover, they arrived safely at For the Love of Aria, a beautiful equine sanctuary in Colorado!

Photo by WilsonAxpe

From paying the “bail” at the slaughter auctions to funding the mares’ transport, medical expenses, and more — every action our rescue team took to save these two beautiful beings was made possible by the folks who helped build up our Rescue Fund.

SUPPORT THE RESCUE FUND

We’ve spent every dollar you’ve helped us raise for the rescue fund and now we need your help to sustain our efforts in the new year. Now that the BLM has increased the number of wild horses and burros set to be rounded up in 2024 to over 20,000, there are so many more of these innocent animals who may be funneled into the slaughter pipeline through the BLM’s Adoption Incentive Program.

Chilly Pepper – ONE LAST EMERGENCY SAVE for 2023! Jasmine needs our help now!

The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:

Happy New Year

WE NEED TO SAVE ONE MORE LIFE FOR 2023!

I received a 911 call for this beautiful mare about an hour ago. She was at the Eugene auction, and this was her description:

7yr old grey mare – BITER, KICKER, STRIKER

THAT DESCRIPTION IS BASICALLY A DEATH SENTENCE, especially when so many healthy, ridable horses are being dumped daily.

So Jasmine, (that is the name she told me) either has some serious issues, which may be caused by people, or maybe someone dumped her and just wanted her to go to slaughter.

WE HAD TO SAVE HER! Her bail was cheap, I believe it was $160? However, that is the “free part”.

We need funds to pay the hauler, for quarantine, the vet for paperwork, any needed tests, and to pay for her evaluation and to be assessed, before we make any decisions.

IF, there was something horrible wrong and the vet and trainer feels like she is unsafe, we will go from there. There is no situation where being humanely euthanized is not better than shipping to Mexico for slaughter.

At this point however,*we are NOT THINKING euthanasia. Usually that kind of behavior is from being mistreated and poorly handled. I can have my hauler pick her up, but we need funds for her board and care until she is assessed and I can bring her home._

However, I had to go on Faith once again, or she would have shipped to slaughter. There was no time to wait and see if we could raise the funds.

So many times horses just respond to the way they are treated.

Let’s close 2023 with another victory, and another life saved!! Please help me help this beautiful YOUNG (7 year old, mare.)

MORE good news, the babies Duke & Tara have been delivered to their new home!

Broken leg update – Heading to Seattle to see the joint specialist on Tuesday. Prayers appreciated for good news and hoping and praying I won’t need surgery.

THANK YOU for helping save so many lives. Our Chilly Pepper Family is amazing, and I love and appreciate ALL OF YOU!

Blessings for a beautiful holiday season and remember your glass can always be “half full”.

Can you give $30 to fuel our humane fertility control program?

Kyle Davidson Wild Horse and Burro 2023 American Wild Horse Campaign, AWHC, Horses, wild burros, wild horses 0

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

My name is Tracy Wilson, and I am AWHC’s Nevada State Director. As part of my job, I oversee one of the most important conservation initiatives that we implement, our PZP fertility control vaccine program on the Virginia Range in Nevada. This world-leading program proves there is an alternative to inhumane helicopter roundups, which keeps wild horses in the wild where they belong.

It costs just $30 for a vaccine to dart a single mare with PZP fertility control. Can you donate $30 to cover the cost of one fertility control vaccine for a mare?

DONATE $30

Far too many wild horses and burros are in danger because the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is continuing an unsustainable, inhumane path, conducting mass roundups and removals, all while overlooking the consequences of this unsuccessful cycle.

On the Virginia Range, our groundbreaking PZP program has seen a 66% reduction in foal births in 2023 compared to 2020. This program ensures that the Virginia Range horses, whose habitat is shrinking due to rapid development in the area, stay wild and free.

This hard-hitting data has helped us demonstrate to the BLM, Congress, and the public that there is a humane way to manage our wild herds. It’s scientifically sound and keeps these innocent animals in the wild, where they belong. No helicopter roundups, and no holding pens.

There’s a better way to keep mustangs wild, but the BLM needs to implement it. You can make a true impact on the lives of these wild horses with just a $30 donation to pay for a PZP vaccine for a mare. >>

We’re incredibly proud of this program, and its resounding effects for wild horse conservation. That’s why today we’re asking: Can you chip in $30 to help us fund the PZP program that has kept so many wild horses wild?

DONATE $30

With the BLM planning even more mass roundups in Fiscal Year 2024, we’re proposing alternative solutions that are proven to work. We know that this is an important cause, and we couldn’t do it without your help.

We set a goal to raise $200,000 for our end-of-year fundraising because that’s what it’s going to take to keep us on track and fighting to protect America’s wild herds in 2024. With innovative initiatives like the PZP fertility control program, you can make a difference with just a $30 donation. Please, can you chip in $30 today?

Standing up for our wild herds in the courtroom

Kyle Davidson Wild Horse and Burro 2023 American Wild Horse Campaign, Horses, wild burros, wild horses 0

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

Hi!

Here at the American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC), we’re fighting to keep wild horses and burros wild through every avenue possible — including in federal court.

Today, I wanted to take a moment to tell you a little about the legal work our team is doing to protect our precious wild herds. Unfortunately, wild horses and burros cannot defend themselves in our legal system. That’s why we are dedicated to being their voice in the courts of law.

Right now, we’re battling the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in court over its plan to remove every single horse from two Herd management areas (HMAs) in the Wyoming Checkerboard. In total, 43% of habitat for wild horses in Wyoming will be eliminated if this plan goes through. Our lawsuit is the culmination of a more than decade-long legal battle between AWHC and powerful ranching interests that seek to clear the public lands of wild horses to maximize commercial livestock grazing.

If this plan moves forward, it will set a dangerous precedent for the future of wild horses and burros by allowing private landowners to dictate whether or not these cherished animals get to live on the public lands. That’s why we can’t afford to lose, and why the work of our legal team is so important.

FUEL OUR LEGAL WORK >>

Another critical way we leverage our legal power is through our investigations program, which uses the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to request government records.

FOIA is a federal law that empowers private citizens and groups to request access to public information that government offices may not publicly disclose on their own. This powerful tool has helped AWHC expose abuse, fraud, and waste within federal programs affecting wild horses and burros and is a vital piece of our work to promote accountability, humane treatment, and conservation of these animals.

SUPPORT OUR INVESTIGATIONS WORK >>

But the federal government does not always willingly provide records in response to our requests. That’s when we turn to the courts to force the release of critical information. Currently, AWHC has 19 open FOIA lawsuits to compel both the BLM and the United States Forest Service to turn over records that could help uncover the mismanagement and mistreatment of wild horses and burros.

Can you chip in and help us continue to take the federal government to court when it refuses to turn over critical documents that bring to light the reality our wild horses and burros face?

One of the best examples of how FOIA has helped us is our work investigating the BLM’s Adoption Incentive Program (AIP), which pays adopters $1,000 to take home wild horses or burros.

When we first heard that the AIP was sending adopted horses and burros into the slaughter pipeline, our investigative and legal teams leapt into action and filed dozens of FOIA requests to obtain the concrete evidence needed to expose the program. This work led to a front-page New York Times exposé, and heightened Congressional concern.

It also supported our ongoing lawsuit against the illegal implementation of the AIP. Can you make a donation towards our $200,000 end-of-year goal to fuel our legal efforts, Meredith? We need your support to keep up the pressure on the BLM and Department of the Interior as this case continues.

Can you help us cover the cost of an emergency roadside kit?

Kyle Davidson Wild Horse and Burro 2023 American Wild Horse Campaign, AWHC, Horses, wild burros, wild horses 0

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

My name is Steve. I am a fertility control darter for Nevada’s Virginia Range program, and a roundup observer for the American Wild Horse Campaign. As AWHC told you this morning, thousands of Nevada’s wild horses will be chased by government helicopters and rounded up in the coming days.

I often trek out to the far corners of the West to bear witness to the intense scenes unfolding as the sound of the helicopter cuts through normally serene desert landscapes. Hundreds to thousands of wild horses are relentlessly driven from freedom to confinement in a heartbreaking display of cruelty.

My boots-on-the-ground role as a roundup observer is rooted in the core of our mission and is fueled by AWHC’s Observation Fund, which is powered by supporters like you. By having me and our team of field representatives on the ground observing the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) cruel helicopter roundups, we can ensure any inhumane treatment does not go undocumented and unaddressed

Your support of AWHC’s Observation Fund helps send observers, like me, into the field to hold the BLM accountable and build a case for substantial reform in Congress. Here’s an example of how your support has an impact on our work to document roundups.

➡ $75 covers the cost of an emergency roadside kit. We carry these in case we run into an emergency – which has happened before in these remote areas without cell phone service.
➡ $100 covers daily fuel costs to drive to these highly remote public lands where the BLM conducts its roundups.
➡ $200 covers two nights in a motel for us as sometimes we stay days to weeks in the field as the roundups continue.
➡ $1,000 covers the cost of vehicle repairs and off-road tire replacements that are necessary to reach the remote BLM observation points.

Oftentimes, we AWHC representatives are the ONLY members of the public on site to document these federal operations and hold the BLM accountable. We are your eyes and ears, and the photographs and videos we capture are the public’s window into the reality faced by our wild horses and burros in these remote regions of the West.

The AWHC team and our roundup observers are working in overdrive to hold the BLM accountable. We documented nearly every roundup last fiscal year and we need to hit our $200,000 end-of-year fundraising goal before Sunday at midnight to continue this work in 2024. With helicopters descending into roundups in rural Nevada right now, the wild horses need your help more than ever. Can you chip in to help AWHC continue sending observers like me out in the field ?

Granger is Going to Have the Hap-Hap-Happiest Christmas!

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2023 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, Horses, rehabilitation, rescue 0

The following is from All About Equine Rescue:

As we count down to 2024, join us every day this month as we share stories from the barn that show how your support has helped horses this year and every year.

He may not be a Griswold, but Granger is going to enjoy a fun old-fashioned family Christmas in his new home this year!

GRANGER

Granger was living with a small herd of horses in a large, dry pasture. He is a senior (born ~1992) horse with very worn out teeth, and he was left to survive on dry weeds. He became emaciated, and fortunately, in the summer of 2022, law enforcement stepped in before it was too late.

Once at AAE, Granger began a refeeding program consisting of soaked alfalfa pellets. After he was done with quarantine, he got the works: hoof and dental care, vaccines, deworming, and a microchip, and some diagnostics, too. Based on his very aged teeth, our vet estimated he was likely about 30 years old. (Age is difficult to determine after about 18-20, but his teeth were that aged.) Despite the condition in which he came, he rebounded nicely, with no apparent long-term health concerns, though diagnostics did show he has Cushings. Granger was started on daily medications for Cushings, as well as another daily med to support his joints.

Granger is sweet and respectful. He was protective and defensive around food when he first came to AAE, but he learned to leave those behaviors behind. We were told he was used as a trail horse in his prior life. Due to his age and arthritis, his riding days are behind him, too.

We are so thrilled ol’ Granger found a wonderful family this fall! He is being loved on and doted on as a companion, both for his humans and a senior mare.

We have another very generous donor offering to match donations, dollar for dollar, up to $3000! Help us get to our goal, and turn $3,000 into $6,000!

As we wind down the year, our goal is to raise at least $35,000 this holiday season to jump start our funding for the new year and make sure 2024 is merry & bright for horses-in-need.

Like you, we have felt the pressure of the changing economy. Hay, fuel, supplies, and other care costs have increased substantially. The effects are compounded for nonprofits across the country, as many of us have seen a decrease in overall donations. Rising costs and fewer donations are stretching us thin, impacting our ability to serve the number of horses we typically serve. We’ll scale back as we need. We need your support more than ever.

On average, it costs about $8 per horse each day for feed and health care for the horses at AAE. Expenses add up quickly when caring for 50+/- horses and other animals, including costs for basic care, diagnostics, treatments, medications, surgery, and emergency care, when needed.

We know your lives have been impacted, too, we’re all in this together. If you’re able, please consider making a year end donation to support this life-saving work and make it possible to help more horses-in-need.

Expenses can add up quickly, but your donations can, too! If every one of our followers made a $5 donation, we could surpass our goal by thousands.

You can help make similar stories to share next year by donating today. Any amount is very much appreciated, and it makes a big difference for the horses.

A Barnyard Christmas

The following is from All About Equine Rescue:

As we count down to 2024, join us every day this month as we share stories from the barn that show how your support has helped horses this year and every year.

AAE is home to more than horses! Though we focus on equine, we also take in other animals-in-need (mostly farm animals).

AAE’s SPEEDY and the FARM ANIMALS

Speedy is an African Sulcata Tortoise. He came to AAE when we were in El Dorado Hills, and he quickly became a favorite! He’s an entertainer, well, he’s entertaining; you can watch him for hours, and the day will go really slow. He loves to mosey around, soak in a shower of water, bask in the sun, and eat his greens. He was about the size of a cantaloupe when he arrived, and now he’s about the size of a big turkey, growing like a weed. He’s been an interesting critter around the barn.

Buttercup is a ~10 year old Jersey cow that came to AAE when she was no longer used for milk. She’s friendly, and she’s adorable. Buttercup and the other cows live in the big pasture with the mustangs. They come down from the pasture for breakfast and dinner. The rest of the day you’ll often find them resting under a tree, together.

Mia is a senior (~18) Black Angus cow. She and Soña (below) came to AAE in Pilot Hill with their herd to eat down the weeds and star-thistle before we moved the horses there. She’s friendly and enjoys a lil’ human company now and then.

Soña is also a senior (~17) Black Angus cow. She and Mia were 4-H projects when they were younger, then they were senior members of their beef herd. When all the weeds and star-thistle were gone, and it was time to bring the horses, these two lucky moos got to stay to live out their days, together.

Oscar and his buddy, Oliver, came to AAE in 2021 with a group of horses from a distressed sanctuary on the eve of eviction. The two senior boar piggies had no place to go. Thinking it was temporary and would be easy to find a farm sanctuary for them was the farthest thing from reality! Sadly, Oliver got very sick earlier this year, and Oscar lost his friend. Oscar was a grumpy ol’ guy when he got here, but he’s grown to enjoy his human friends. He loves to be (carefully) hand fed, and he loves belly scratches. He’s spoiled!

Rebel, Kicker, and Scoobie are ~3 year old Nubian wethers (we were told). They were living in an area not zoned for goats, and they came to live with AAE when they were evicted from their home by code enforcement. They share the “Farm Area” with Oscar. They are lil’ characters, typical goats, with tons of personality, AKA, tons of fun!

We have another very generous donor offering to match donations, dollar for dollar, up to $3000! Help us get to our goal, and turn $3,000 into $6,000!

As we wind down the year, our goal is to raise at least $35,000 this holiday season to jump start our funding for the new year and make sure 2024 is merry & bright for horses-in-need.

Can you help us unlock a 2X matching gift to help us continue our critical work saving wild horses and burros in 2024? We need to raise $50,000 before Friday at midnight to unlock this match.

Over the last few days, we’ve reflected on some incredible victories we’ve secured this year for our wild herds. But at the heart of all of these success stories is one key ingredient: you.

Folks like you are the driving force behind our work to fight for our wild herds. When we raise awareness about what’s happening to wild horses and burros and mobilize the many thousands of people who want these incredible animals protected, we are able to move mountains.

For example, our campaign to raise awareness about the pointless and cruel nature of the McCullough Peaks wild horse removal generated over 200,000 emails to key officials and touched more than 2 million members of the public. This public outcry put pressure on the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and contributed to the agency’s decision to reduce the number of horses it plans to remove.

In North Dakota, our billboard and ad campaign to save the historic wild horse population who inhabit the popular Theodore Roosevelt National Park generated intense public opposition to a federal plan to eliminate the horses. This public outcry fueled opposition from the state’s political leadership and has created intense pressure to preserve these historic horses.

And across the country, AWHC’s advertising and media campaigns raised public awareness of the cruelty of helicopter roundups. From our billboards in New York City’s Times Square to the compelling images and videos that our field observers have collected, our efforts have brought national attention to the issue of wild horse conservation.

We know that when people hear about what’s happening to wild horses and burros, they are outraged. It’s our job to continue building public awareness and the grassroots army necessary to rise up and advocate for the protection of America’s mustangs and burros – but this work wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of folks like you.

Your contributions enable us to continue shining a light on what’s happening to our wild herds, and we’re incredibly grateful to count you as one of our supporters. As we gear up to continue this important work in 2024, will you chip in to our end-of-year goal to fuel our awareness efforts next year? We still have one day left to raise $50,000 so we can unlock a massive 2X matching offer from one of our generous donors, and we need the help of everyone reading this to reach it! >>

Thank you,

Team AWHC

As we count down to 2024, join us every day this month as we share stories from the barn that show how your support has helped horses this year and every year.

Georgia is a beautiful and smart girl, it’s no wonder she’s always on our mind!

GEORGIA

Georgia, an 18-year-old Morgan x Mustang mare, came to AAE in May 2020 after her family lost their home in a fire and subsequently struggled with more challenges after the onset of COVID-19. We were told she was a teenagers riding horse.

While at AAE, we expored her knowledge under saddle, and she did well with the basics, but didn’t have extensive experience.

Georgia was a very sweet, uncomplcated mare. She enjoyed people, she enjoyed interaction. She was pretty easy-peasy, and it didn’t take long until she was adopted. Unfortunately, she returned to AAE about three years later, in June 2023, after developing some behaviors that her adopter was unable to manage.

The first few days back were stressful for Georgia, but she quickly settled back in to life at AAE. A previous AAE adopter was visiting the Pilot Hill property and saw Georgia in quarantine. They made an instant connection and the rest is history! She was here, then she wasn’t!

Georgia lives with her new equine pal, Roxie (AAE alum), and together they have been hitting the trails with their human friends. The pair also is helping little humans to learn about riding!

As we wind down the year, our goal is to raise at least $35,000 this holiday season to jump start our funding for the new year and make sure 2024 is merry & bright for horses-in-need.

Expenses can add up quickly, but your donations can, too! If every one of our followers made a $5 donation, we could surpass our goal by thousands.

You can help make similar stories to share next year by donating today. Any amount is very much appreciated, and it makes a big difference for the horses.

What we’ve achieved for wild horse conservation this year

Kyle Davidson Wild Horse and Burro 2023 American Wild Horse Campaign, AWHC, BLM, equines, Horses, wild burros, wild horses 0

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

HELP UNLOCK OUR 2X MATCH →

In addition to our legislative advocacy work, our growing field programs are a critical part of our mission to advance wild horse and burro conservation.

Today, we’re going to tell you about the great strides we’ve taken this year in this area – but first, please take a moment to chip in towards our end-of-year goal! We need to raise $50,000 by this Friday to unlock a generous 2X match offer from our gracious donors, and we’re over halfway there! >>

In 2023, we achieved several great victories for our on-range programs. First, we celebrated four years of our flagship PZP fertility control program on Nevada’s Virginia Range. This program has been a remarkable success, achieving the goal of vaccinating 80% of the mare population in less than four years, and reducing the foaling rate by 66% by the end of peak foaling season 2023 as compared to 2022.

Through the successful implementation of PZP vaccine programs, we’re taking a significant step toward reshaping the future of wild horse conservation and proving that there is a better, more humane, and less costly way to manage wild horse populations. That’s why we’ve expanded our support of conservation efforts and of the implementation of fertility control programs to other wild horse herds. Can you please make a contribution to AWHC to help power these fertility control programs?

SUPPORT OUR FERTILITY CONTROL PROGRAMS →

Earlier this year, we secured a federal grant from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support the humane fertility control program that we are implementing on wild horses in Utah’s Cedar Mountain Herd Management Area (HMA)! This collaborative effort involves the Utah BLM, the HMA ranching permittee, and AWHC working together to humanely manage the Cedar Mountain wild horses, conserve their habitat, and eliminate helicopter roundups.

Additionally, we are providing logistical, financial, and darting support for the fertility control program in Nevada’s Pine Nut Mountains. With our assistance, the program has darted over 40% of the mare population with at least one PZP vaccination. This success in darting these wild horses, who are not habituated to human presence, is further proving the feasibility of this approach to keeping wild horses wild and in balance with their environment.

2023 was clearly a big year for our fertility control programs, but perhaps our most exciting achievement this year was the launch of our Land Conservancy Project – an innovative new initiative that will preserve and enhance key habitats for America’s wild herds.

As part of this effort, AWHC acquired 3,300+ acres of prime habitat in Nevada’s beautiful Carson Valley to serve as a pilot program for the project! Through this pilot, we’re working to set the conservation standard for wild horse and burro protection by preserving and restoring habitat and developing collaborative partnerships with federal and local governments to further land and wildlife conservation goals.

We’re so proud of what we’ve accomplished together this year – but none of this would be possible without your support. We’re planning to go even further in 2024, and we need you with us to continue this momentum. Can you make a contribution to support these critical programs in 2024? If you chip in before Friday, you can help us unlock a 2X matching offer for our end-of-year fundraising and double the impact of your donation!

A look back on our 2023 legislative wins

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:

CHIP IN →

Throughout 2023, we’ve secured some pretty incredible wins, furthering the wild horse and burro conservation cause. So with 2024 less than two weeks away, we’re going to take the next few days to look back on all the success we achieved together this year.

But first, we’d like to ask you to make a contribution towards our end-of-year goal. In case you missed it, all donations through December 31st will be matched up to $125,000, but only IF we raise the initial $50,000 we need before midnight this Friday! You can chip in here >>

HELP US UNLOCK
THE MATCH →

Today, we’re going to focus on the impact we’ve been able to make together both in Washington D.C. and in state legislatures across the country to protect our wild herds.

In Colorado, we achieved a major breakthrough with the passage of SB 23-275, The Wild Horse Project. This legislation established a dedicated working group in the state, tasked with enhancing on-range and off-range solutions for wild horse conservation. Additionally, the legislation allocated $1.5 million in state funding to support these efforts.

On Capitol Hill, we worked with our partners in Congress to introduce several critical bills that would advance humane reforms to the federal management of our nation’s wild herds, including:

The Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act of 2023 (H.R. 3656), which would finally ban costly and inhumane helicopter roundups of wild horses and burros;
• The Supporting America’s Forgotten Equines Act (H.R. 3475), which would ban equine slaughter for human consumption in the U.S. and the export of horses for slaughter abroad;
• And the Ejiao Act (H.R. 6021), which would ban the U.S. import of products containing Ejiao, a gelatin made from donkey hides.

And finally, AWHC secured the support of 77 Members of Congress to include protective language for wild horses and burros in the House and Senate Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations bills. The House passed its bill, which includes protection from slaughter and dedicated funding for fertility control. Further, it also directs the BLM to explore alternatives to helicopter roundups — marking the first time in history that Congress has addressed this issue! The Senate has not yet passed its final version of the funding bill.

AWHC’s legislative advocacy work is critical to securing a safe future for our wild herds, so they can live freely as they deserve. When we create partnerships with allies on the Hill and in state governments throughout the West, we create progress. This year’s wins for wild horses and burros are an example of just that.

If you’re still with us in the fight to protect America’s wild horses and burros, will you donate whatever you can afford towards our end-of-year goal to help us continue this important work in 2024? If we raise $50,000 before midnight on Friday, we’ll unlock a generous 2X match from one of our major donors, meaning you can double our legislative impact next year!

Honoring These Angels

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2023 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, Horses, rehabilitation 0

The following is from All About Equine Rescue:

As we count down to 2024, join us every day this month as we share stories from the barn that show how your support has helped horses this year and every year.

2023 was a difficult year at AAE, especially the month of May; too many of our friends earned their wings. Any time we experience loss of our four-legged friends, it’s difficult, as it is for most. But when we lose four truly beloved animals in such a short time, it’s an immense challenge to our hearts. Fortunately, we’re surrounded by an army of love, and we all get through it, together.

Today we’re remembering our sweet souls who crossed the Rainbow Bridge this year. We are forever grateful for the special memories they’ve given us.

ANGELS

Our sweet Velcro was with us when it all began, and she got to make the move to Pilot Hill to bless the new barn. She adapted incredibly well, and really seemd to enjoy her new digs. In March, her lil’ body traveled as far as it could before reaching the end of it’s journey. Velcro was 21. Velcro loved everyone, and everyone loved her. She was soft, cuddly, and oh, so sweet. She earned her name because of her clingy nature, and it fit her so well, it stuck. She loved to be held on your shoulder, and she’d sit there and purr all day, if you’d let her. Rest easy sweet girl, you were the best kitty ever!

Oh Loretta, Loretta! Loretta was a very elderly donk that came to us from an abandonment situation. Her owner left her with caretakers that were unfamiliar with donkey care and needs. She was in very poor condition when she arrived. Loretta left us as we slept one night in March, after a vet visit the day before. Loretta’s red mane, long ears, and sweet nature won the hearts of everyone that met her. We loved you, ol’ girl!

Gabby, our Warrior, lost her battle with recurrent hoof infections in May when the infection penetrated her joint capsule. Gabby came to us after long term neglect. Her body was spent, but her spirit was very alive. She overcame multiple issues, only to be defeated by a hoof abscess. Abscesses came and went, but the last one was different. Though we fought right along with her, and did everything we could, nothing we could have done would have given her a pain free life once the infection penetrated her joint. If ever a horse has left hoofprints on our hearts, Gabby’s are some of the deepest. We miss you, sweet girl. You will be remembered forever!

Oliver o’ Oliver (photo at intake)! Oliver crossed over in May after an acute illness that was never determined. Oliver was a senior pig (no clue how old). He came to us from a distressed sanctuary that was being evicted. He and his buddy had nowhere to go. This cantankerous ol’ guy weaved his way into many of our horse-lover’s hearts (but not a few), making some new pig-lovers. He was here to let everyone know not all pigs are mean, not all pigs are smelly, not all pigs like to live in wallows, and so much more. This lil’ guy is missed every day!

Lil’ Mr. Dusty was one of the cutest lil’ minis, ever! He left us in May after a severe bout of colitis. He came to AAE several years ago to be part of our youth and outreach teams. Unfortunately, because of Covid, then our move, the mini team got lots of love and R&R. Dusty was a favorite with new volunteers and our long-timers, as well. The Farm just isn’t the same without you, Dusty. We miss you!

Mi Amigo, Mi Amor, many would say. Amigo crossed the Rainbow Bridge in May, as well, after a very difficult colic. He was 34. Amigo came to AAE emaciated and in dire condition from an extreme neglect situation. Though some doubted he would survive, he perservered and blessed AAE and all of our volunteers with his gentle and friendly spirit. He was patient, he was kind, and he just loved to be with people, whether in a stall, the arena, or out in pasture. He taught most of our new volunteers how to be safe around horses and what a well mannered horse was. He was so loved! Thank you for five fabulous years, Amigo, you’re missed more than you’ll ever know.

Elvis, we hardly got to know you! Elvis passed in June while at the hospital the second morning after castration surgery; he was a crypt orchid (only one descended testicle). Results of his necropsy were inconclusive, but cause of death was a suspected air embolism. Elvis was a magically stunning 17 year old Gypsy Vanner stallion that came to AAE after his elderly owner passed. He had these beautiful blue eyes that you could feel staring into your soul. He was simply a big, beautiful guy, inside and out. We had so much more we wanted to learn about him, and so much more love to give him, but his mom must have needed him more and called him home. We’ll remember you forever, blue eyes! ‘Til we meet again, may God bless you. Adios, Elvis.

Sadly, Joey wasn’t with us long, either. He’d only been with us a couple weeks, when he had a four-day battle with an impaction colic he wasn’t able to work through. He was an older mini stallion (~27) and part of a group of five minis that came to us after a death in his family. We collectively called them Friends. Joey was definitely the coolest, sweetest, lil’ stud muffin, and he definitely had that “What you doin'” look when interacting. This lil’ dude is missed by his fellow friends, and he’s missed by all of our volunteers that were enamored as they were getting to know him. Run free, Joey!

Miss Maisy was one of our most easy-going and drama free mares in the big herd. We lost her to a strangulating lipoma. Maisy came to us when facing euthanasia due to a recurrent respiratory infection. She battled through it, and she was a model patient for the myriad of drugs she was on (injections and oral meds) multiple times a day for weeks. You wouldn’t know she was a mare if you didn’t already. She was in the pasture, quiet in stall, quiet in a paddock, and quiet in the herd. She was simply lovely, lovely mare, and she was loved by so many volunteers. There’s definitely an empty spot in our hearts without you here, Maisy. Miss you so much!

As we wind down the year, our goal is to raise at least $35,000 this holiday season to jump start our funding for the new year and make sure 2024 is merry & bright for horses-in-need.

Expenses can add up quickly, but your donations can, too! If every one of our followers made a $5 donation, we could surpass our goal by thousands.

Lainey Brings Peace for the Holidays

Kyle Davidson Equine Rescue 2023 AAE, all about equine animal rescue, Equine Rescue, Horses, rehabilitation 0

The following is from All About Equine Rescue:

As we count down to 2024, join us every day this month as we share stories from the barn that show how your support has helped horses this year and every year.

This time of year, donkeys are symbols of peace, humility, and gentleness. Today our sweet Lainey is bringing you the spirit of the holiday season.

LAINEY

Lainey came to AAE with her very elderly donk friend in October 2022. Their owner was going through a divorce, so she left the long-eared ladies with friends, who, unfortunately, didn’t know much about donkeys or proper care. Their owner also wasn’t supporting the costs of their care. Though they tried, the friends knew they weren’t able to look after the two girls the right way, and they were in need of better care.

When Lainey arrived, she was obese, her hooves were in poor condition, and her belly bulging. She hadn’t had any recent hoof care or other basic maintenance.

Once quarantine was complete, Lainey got her health and beauty day and received much needed hoof and dental care, vaccines, deworming, and microchips, as well as other diagnostics, too. She was negative for Cushing’s. It was discovered that Lainey’s bulging belly is from abdominal hernias that developed after being spayed.

Lainey is incredibly sweet and kind. She loves spending time with humans, especially when they treat her to a grooming session. She loves to nuzzle and would kiss you with her heavenly soft lips.

We hoped Lainey and her ol’ friend would be adopted together; sadly, the ol’ gal passed during the night, and Lainey moved in with the mini horses for companionship.

Lainey was adopted in July, and she’s happy to have a handsome, senior donk as her best friend and pasturemate.

As we wind down the year, our goal is to raise at least $35,000 this holiday season to jump start our funding for the new year and make sure 2024 is merry & bright for horses-in-need.

Expenses can add up quickly, but your donations can, too! If every one of our followers made a $5 donation, we could surpass our goal by thousands.

Chilly Pepper – QUICK UPDATE: IT’S BROKEN – Need to hire full time help. All 4 of the Fabulous 4 Babies are getting adopted!

Happy Holidays!

Our beautiful Zoey has been adopted and is settling into her new home.

The others have been adopted or have adoptions pending. THANK YOU FOR SAVING THEM!

Quick Update on my injury.

The Tibia head is broken/fractured. It showed up on the CT Scan. The scary part is that it is a “high pressure” point, as wild horse folks would say. It is where my prosthetic is held.

I am waiting on an appointment with a specialist to see what the plan will be. For now, it is meds, elevate, NO WEIGHT, crutches and a wheel chair.

I spent 14 hours at the ER at Harborview Medical Center, in Seattle WA the other evening. The waiting room is a bit scary, but once inside they have the most amazing doctors. Thankfully, Harvborview is one of the best facilities in the country. Folks fly in from all over the world to be treated there.

Although on the inside, I might need to scream, cry, wail or whine, I know that if we can joke around and laugh, it will be better in the long run. Sadly this has been “my life”, but I trust fully in the Lord and I know He has me. I don’t always understand the plan, for sure, but it is His plan, so I will trust in him no matter how bad it gets. And yes, even while we were joking about the hard hat, inside I was screaming in pain.

I had to feed this morning, and thankfully the hay had been staged, but it would simply be stupid and irresponsible to think I could continue doing the physical stuff right now.

So I am hoping and praying we get enough donations to hire someone for the next 3 or 4 months. THANK YOU to everyone who has donated. I so appreciate you!!

This isn’t much different than all the other times I have been in the hospital or broken, life goes on, we keep rescuing, but I need a little more help than normal.

THANK YOU for helping save so many lives. Our Chilly Pepper Family is amazing, and I love and appreciate ALL OF YOU!

Blessings for a beautiful holiday season and remember your glass can always be “half full”.

Do you remember the sweet and strong-willed Oakley?

OAKLEY

Oakley is a 2017 Morgan. Oakley, her sister Andi, and 24 herdmates all needed to be rehomed after their owner passed away. Remaining family was unable to provide financially or physically for the horses. Oakley and Andi came to AAE in October 2022 after the others had been rehomed.

The sisters were in good condition, so once at AAE, they only needed the basics: dental, farrier, vaccines, deworming, and a microchip.

Andi was adopted quickly, and Oakley moved into our small horse/pony pasture. Despite her bossy side, she quickly became friends with the herd. She also loves attention from humans and would follow us so she didn’t miss out on anything. She loved to get into everyone’s business!

It didn’t take long with her beauty and charm! Three cheers because Oakley was adopted in January of this year. Her human is a trainer, and she was eager to begin developing a strong bond with Oakley and move forward with her under saddle.

As we wind down the year, our goal is to raise at least $35,000 this holiday season to jump start our funding for the new year and make sure 2024 is merry & bright for horses-in-need.
