I own a horse and he brings me so much happiness.. I want to help out in any way.. I do not have much money as I am a single female..and teacher… I might be moving back to the the mainland San Diego.. and really want to do whatever it takes… to keep the mustang running free!!!! let me know
Aloha and God bless

Hi Sue,
You can teach your students about American wild horses. Here is some good info: http://protectmustangs.org/?page_id=562 . We don’t know if they became extinct as some Native American stories speak about them before the Conquistadors returned horses to their birthplace.
Letters from children to Congress and the President are empowering.
Stay in touch.
i am looking for a way to help out. my husband is going to buy a piece of dirt big enough to put lots of horses on to try and protect them but i would not know where to start. we are going to shasta and tehema and butte counties to look for land this june. is there a stream of information i can get an overall picture of the situation? I know it is bad.
Dear Anne Novak and ProtectMustangs, Thank you for your efforts to help our Wild Horses. If you can, please forward this message to BLM whenever you can, I would sure appreciate it. Thank you:
“Dear Sirs, With a lifelong interest in horse handling safety for people and natural behavior-oriented horsemanship in all interactions with horses, I am also a wild horse adopter and interested party to wild horses and burros on public land. I very respectfully submit the following comments:
Those skilled in gentling Wild Horses imprinted with negative experiences caused by BLM’s current “gather” methods using aircraft including HELICOPTERs (that are not consistent) with traditional less stressful horsemanship-based methods; are aware that the rough handling untamed animals (whose strongest natural survival instinct is flight) endure not only increases unnecessary incidences of permanent neck, jaw, shoulder and leg injuries, but also makes the gentling process much more difficult and lengthy.
The detrimentally negative “imprinting” caused by BLM’s current methods using aircraft including HELICOPTERs jeopardizes the safety and success that general public (adopters) have with wild animals that have been treated in this manner. Methods routinely used by BLM and BLM contractors show a pattern of injuries to wild horses. These methods are not recommended for domestic or wild horses and burros. There are other traditional methods recommended by animal behavior expert consultants that have been sucessfully used for less stressful gathers of various herds over the years that can and should be used instead (that the BLM is well aware of). The BLM should be held accountable to consistently implement these methods while gathering and handling wild horses and burros. Therefore, PLEASE…immediately STOP THE HELICOPTER ROUNDUPS. Please stop separating foals from mares’ milk, care and protection. Please treat these animals with decency and respect, using gentler less stressful gather methods. Remember they are being adopted out to the public and the gentling process can and should start with *any* who handle them, beginning with those individuals involved in gathers and initially handling wild horses and burros.”
Thank you,
Kim Sheppard
Please email Anne via Anne@ProtectMustangs.org Thank you for reaching out to us.
Dear Kim,
Thank you. We forwarded your letter. Did you post it on the story about the helicopter hearing? And post it in the comments on the story against the foaling season roundup? as well as here: http://protectmustangs.org/?p=1574
I signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama titled “Non-Partisan Federal Investigation into the Bureau of Land Management and the Department of the Interior”.
