Wild Horses in Government Care Need Relief from Heat

Wild horses in government care are currently enduring extreme heat conditions, which pose significant risks to their health and well-being. The American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Campaign) is advocating for immediate relief measures to ensure the safety and comfort of these majestic animals.

As temperatures soar, it is crucial to implement strategies that provide adequate shade, water, and ventilation to protect wild horses from heat stress. These measures are essential to prevent dehydration, heatstroke, and other heat-related illnesses that can be fatal if not addressed promptly.

The American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Preservation) continues to work tirelessly to raise awareness and push forpolicychanges that prioritize the humane treatment of wild horses and burros on public lands. By supporting these efforts, we can help ensure a safer and more sustainable environment for these iconic symbols of the American West.
