It’s almost National Horse Protection Day!
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: March 1st is almost here, and with it comes a powerful opportunity to take a stand for America’s wild horses. On National Horse Protection Day, we’re rallying advocates like you to send a loud and clear message: helicopter roundups must end. Download the graphic below and share it to your social media networks to spread the word! Be sure to tag @freewildhorses on Facebook, X and Instagram! Right now, more wild horses are warehoused in government holding pens than roaming free on public lands. Families are torn apart, foals are pushed to the brink of death, and taxpayers are footing a $150 million bill for this cruelty — despite the existence of humane, cost-effective alternatives. We can change this, but we need you with us. Will you be part of our National Day of Action on March 1? TAKE ACTION There are three main ways you can help: Sign the petition to demand an end to brutal helicopter roundups. Use #HaltTheHelicopters and #NationalHorseProtectionDay on social media to raise awareness. Contact your members of Congress to support humane management of America’s wild herds. So what do you say? Will you join us for our National Day of Action next Saturday and amplify our collective voice as we demand protections for our wild herds? TAKE ACTION Finally, don’t forget to forward this email to your friends and family to encourage THEM to take action for our iconic wild herds. Thank you!

❗️Urgent Courtroom Update – Wyoming Checkerboard
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: Greetings, The fight to protect America’s wild horses is at a critical moment. On March 18, our legal team, led by Eubanks and Associates, will present oral arguments before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals at the United States Courthouse in Denver. This case is vital — not just for the Wyoming wild horses we’re fighting for, but for every other herd across the West. Standing up for wild herds in the courtroom is one of the foremost ways we can fight for their wellbeing and hold the federal government accountable. Will you chip in to support our legal fund? FUEL OUR LEGAL FUND This fight is part of a decades-long battle we’ve fought to protect over 2 million acres in the southwestern area of the state known as the “Wyoming Checkerboard” from the demands of organizations like the Rock Springs Grazing Association (RSGA), which wants to eradicate the wild horses that live there. Clearly, we’re up against very powerful interests who view wild horses as competitors to their private livestock on our public lands. A huge legal principle continues to be at stake: Will private interests be allowed to dictate the use of public lands and decide whether our federally protected wild horses and burros can live on them? FUEL OUR LEGAL FUND But our legal advocacy doesn't end there. We also filed a lawsuit against the implementation of the Adoption Incentive Program, which continues to funnel hundreds of wild horses and burros into the slaughter pipeline every year. We are waiting for a decision from the judge on this case. We will continue to hold the BLM accountable through legal actions and strategic litigation. Litigation is one of our most powerful tools to protect wild horses, but it’s also one of the most costly. Your support makes these legal battles possible. Will you stand with us? FUEL OUR LEGAL FUND Thank you for following along in our fight to protect wild horses and burros across the American West. Our success depends on the support of advocates like you. Forward with hope and gratitude, Team AWHC ...

The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign: As a donor to our mission, you probably have heard about our Land Conservancy Project, the bold initiative we pioneered in 2023. This program was established to preserve key habitats so our iconic wild herds can live wild and free in ecological balance in America’s western landscapes. The funding devoted to this project supports land acquisition, habitat restoration, and humane treatment of the wildlife that lives there. This transformative, successful project would not be possible without the generous support from advocates like you. Thank you. The long-term success of this initiative depends on your financial support. That’s why we’d like you to consider becoming a monthly donor. By giving consistently, you provide American Wild Horse Conservation with steady resources that allow us to protect more of our land, restore more habitats for our wild herds, and safeguard wild horses and burros for generations to come. A monthly gift — no matter the amount — creates a lasting impact and sustains this vital work every single day. Will you join us in this commitment to America’s wild horses? MAKE MY GIFT MONTHLY The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) own range data indicates that private livestock overgrazing, along with fire and drought, has depleted habitats for all wildlife, including federally protected species like wild horses and burros. This preventable habitat deterioration is one reason we took a huge step forward by acquiring 3,300 acres of prime habitat within Nevada’s picturesque Carson Valley. The land supports a diverse array of wildlife including the federally protected Fish Springs wild horse herd. We aim to use this innovative project to help set a new conservation standard for wild horse and burro protection. Our dedicated land manager, along with a team of passionate experts, works on the ground, actively tracking wild horse movements, studying the intricacies of the land, and undertaking vital habitat restoration projects. With your support, we can continue to expand this vital work — securing land, restoring fragile ecosystems, and ensuring wild horses and burros remain free where they belong. Your monthly gift provides the stability needed to protect our iconic wild ones from ongoing threats and to build a future where they can thrive.
