Court rulings play a crucial role in the protection of America's wild horses, influencing policies and management practices by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service. The American Wild Horse Conservation (AWHC) has achieved significant legal victories that affirm the rights of wild horses to roam freely on public lands. These rulings have overturned attempts to reduce wild horse territories, halted inhumane sterilization practices, and prevented mass roundups driven by private interests. By challenging unjust policies in court, AWHC ensures that the welfare of wild horses is prioritized, advocating for humane management practices that respect their natural behaviors and habitats.
