wild horses Wyoming Salt Wells Creek Herd Management Area wild horse territory BLM roundup wild horse conservation
Have you wondered what it's like to be in the field, on the land, spending time with wild horses? I spend countless hours in Wyoming's wild horse territory, watching, photographing, and connecting with these magnificent creatures. My recent trip to Salt Wells Creek Herd Management Area reminded me of the profound impact these wild horses have on those who take the time to observe them in their natural habitat.

 

We have done everything we can to save these herds in Wyoming from being zeroed out, and now we wait. We have no control over what the judges will decide or whether the BLM moves forward with a roundup. We do not know what is going to happen this year, but I am thankful for having witnessed such a stirring and beautiful sight.

Project 2025 wild horses Debbie Coffey humane disposal Department of the Interior wild horse programs mass killings whistleblowers public awareness
Is the fate of America’s wild horses at risk? Project 2025’s proposal to "dispose humanely" of nearly 68,000 wild horses and burros in holding facilities has alarming implications. This isn’t wildlife management—it’s extinction.

 

In this powerful episode, I talk with wild horse advocate and FOIA expert Debbie Coffey about the troubling consequences of Project 2025 for wild horses. The situation has grown more dire with recent changes at the Department of the Interior. This could lead to drastic cuts for wild horse programs and set the stage for mass killings. Now, more than ever, we need whistleblowers and public awareness to prevent a horrifying and inhumane slaughter.

wild horses Wyoming checkerboard lands Bureau of Land Management public comment periods Adobe Town Salt Wells Creek Great Divide Basin overcrowded holding facilities legal challenges
Are our wild horses in Wyoming's checkerboard lands about to disappear forever? The Bureau of Land Management plans to remove thousands of wild horses from Adobe Town, Salt Wells Creek, and Great Divide Basin starting July 2025, effectively zeroing out entire herds despite ongoing legal challenges.

 

In this episode, I break down the two public comment periods currently open for these herds and provide specific guidance on how to submit effective comments. I explain why your individual comments matter, what points to emphasize, and how to make your voice heard before the April 28th and April 30th deadlines. With holding facilities already overcrowded and the future of these horses uncertain, your participation is crucial to prevent what could become a death sentence for nearly 5,000 wild horses.

50. A Win for Wild Horses: Shutting Down the Adoption Incentive Program

wild horses Adoption Incentive Program Bureau of Land Management legal victory wild horse protection
How would you feel if your tax dollars were being used to send wild horses to slaughter? In a landmark legal victory, wild horse advocates recently shut down a government program that was doing exactly that. The Bureau of Land Management's Adoption Incentive Program (AIP) was paying people $1,000 per horse to adopt untamed wild horses, with devastating consequences.

 

I'm joined today by Suzanne Roy and Amelia Perrin of American Wild Horse Conservation, who led the investigation and legal challenge that brought down this harmful program. This victory not only saves countless horses from a terrible fate but also establishes an important precedent for wild horse protection going forward.
