Wonderful Article on North American Wild Horses and a big thank you to both Michelle Gough and William Simpson 11 for what they do and the very hard conditions they endure. First theres nothing so beautiful, and second this article is right on about the conservation of these herds and what they do for the environment and landscape. I only wish the government would have realized this long ago, and been so quick to put their hands in the extinction of such a natural process of the ecosystem.
Thank you for your comment and support. We do all that we do for our community, the environment and the wildlife, especially the wild horses. We don’t make a dime off what we do… we are ‘paying it forward’ for the generations to come. Regards, William
I second the comment left by Shawn Williams. I appreciate the research that the Wild Horse Fire Brigade brings to the table. I find the BLM’s management and treatment of our wild horses and burros egregious. Recognizing the value of these wild creatures may be key to their future survival. Always happy to see Wild Horse Fire Brigade get press coverage to help spread their message.

Great article. I didn’t know there was a study in our back yard! How refreshing!
