Today is National Day of the Horse. 

In 2004, Congress designated Dec. 13th as National Day of the Horse to honor the contributions horses have made to our country’s history, economy and national character. Horses were instrumental in farming, mail delivery, transportation and in wars both domestic and abroad. In addition, horses are amazing companions and are being used in therapy to help humans overcome both physical and mental health issues. 

Horses should be celebrated and honored.

Each and every day WHE demonstrates our gratitude to the horse through our relentless advocacy against abuse and for the protection and preservation of our wild ones. 

At Wild Horse Education we recognize and respect our wild ones as integral to the system of public lands.

Each and every beating heart carried in the chest of wild horses and burros contains a legacy of enrichment to both the human and natural world. 

Our wild ones walked out of their natural habitats to help build the world of humans. 

It is past time that we walk back to the natural world with the horse to help repair the damages done to the natural world... and stopping the abuse of these treasured beings is long overdue. 

Our team has been really busy this year. In every case we have brought to conclusion in 2024, desperately needed legal precedents were won. As cases move forward you may lose a motion, but each case brought resounding wins when concluded.

We are fighting to stop roundup plans, trying to stop livestock permittees from forcing removals, fighting abuse, fighting against off-limits holding facilities and our First Amendment Rights. 

This week we filed new litigation.

Absurdly, land use courts claim that wild horse advocates do not have standing to address habitat loss and damages caused by mining.

Land use courts will not allow wild horse advocates to address habitat damage where our interest even extends to relationships with individuals and the harms are very real. In addition, habitat damage and loss is even more detrimental to wild horses because, unlike other wild things, they cannot leave the artificial boundary lines of the designated territory. 

We have jumped this matter into Federal Civil Court. 

WHE is launching additional litigation shortly and will update you on those cases and cases working through the system soon.

All of our work is only possible because of you. Your support has allowed us to take a strong stand and not back down. With your continued support we can expand our work to protect our wild ones and preserve our herds and their habitat for future generations to enjoy. 

End of year funding is critical to keep our team in the field reporting to you and all of the other work we do like investigations and litigation. With your support, WHE won't back down.

Thank you!
