The Saylor Creek Herd Management Area (HMA) in Idaho is a vital habitat for wild horses, covering approximately 150 square miles of diverse terrain, including desert canyons and remote rangelands. This area is home to a unique herd of wild horses, which have faced significant challenges due to management practices by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Recent proposals to sterilize the herd have sparked legal battles, as advocates argue that such actions threaten the horses' natural behaviors and social structures. The American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC) actively works to protect these horses, emphasizing humane management strategies that preserve their freedom and ecological role on public lands.
