Time is running out.
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
We are almost out of time.
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.

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