Our annual Stay Wild event took place in sunny Los Angeles this year, bringing together wild horse lovers for a truly unforgettable celebration. The event featured music, inspirational speeches, and beautiful art, all in honor of our shared love for wild horses and the community that stands united in their protection.

AWHC Attends the Homes for Horses Conference

Last month, AWHC team members Amelia Perrin and Fernando Guerra spoke at the Homes for Horses Coalition Conference in Washington, D.C. They also met with members of Congress to discuss humane conservation solutions for wild horses. A highlight was meeting with Rep. Juan Ciscomani, who showed up wearing his Stay Wild hat! A strong advocate, he has pushed for reforms to the BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program. Click here to watch AWHC’s presentations!

Speak Up Against the Use of Helicopters

Tomorrow, the United States Forest Service will host a virtual public hearing on the use of helicopters in wild horse roundups in the Modoc and Inyo National Forests. This is a crucial opportunity to speak up against the harmful practice of helicopter roundups. Take action and make your voice heard here!

Thank you for reading and taking action, Meredith.
