Our Mission
To protect and preserve America's wild horses as a "living national treasure"
in a publicly accessible and ecologically balanced environment with other wildlife for future generations.
|
|
Our Goals
- Increase public awareness of the genetic, biological, and social value of America's wild horses through pack trips on the sanctuary, publications, mass media and public outreach programs.
- Continue to develop a working, replicable model for the proper and responsible management of wild horses in their natural habitat.
- Demonstrate that wild horses can co-exist on the open range in ecological balance with many diverse species of wildlife including black bear, bobcat, mountain lion, wild turkeys, badger and gray fox.
- Collaborate with research projects in order to document the intricate and unique social structure, biology, reversible fertility control, and native intelligence of the wild horse.
Our Programs
The Wild Horse Sanctuary is a non-profit, tax exempt, public foundation and 5,000 acre preserve dedicated to the protection and preservation of America's wild horses. It is currently supported by contributions from individuals and organizations with a wide range of backgrounds who share a common concern for wildlife, the environment and our American heritage.
The Wild Horse Sanctuary conducts pack trips; develops public education programs; sponsors "resistance free" horse training seminars; participates in research projects on ecologically sound wild horse management; consults on related programs in order to help build other wildlife preserves; and cooperates with responsible ecology, animal protection, and educational organizations to further the protection of all species of wildlife, including America's wild horses, and the preservation of our natural environment.
