Where to View Wild Horses
This map, put together by the AWHC team, shows all the wild horse and burro Herd Management Areas (HMAs) managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the Western United States. The AWHC team plans to update the map quarterly with links to the work we are doing to help our wild horses in these areas.
Children's Activity Book
To ensure ongoing protection for wild horses, AWHC created the Write for Wild Horses project. This allows even our youngest supporters to help. The packet includes activities to voice support for wild horses and burros. Send your letters, artwork, and notes to us, and we’ll compile and hand-deliver them to Congress through our D.C. staff.
