Foal-Free Friday, Year of the RUP Edition

Some folks say 2026 is the Year of the Horse, the perfect time to raise awareness about helicopter roundups.

They don’t see it as an opportunity to stop the removals and restore basic concepts such as principal use and management at the minimum feasible level.

Instead, they see it as an opportunity to expand the use of RUPs, to replace motorized removal with mass sterilization.

They don’t want you to know that public lands in the western U.S. can sustain many more wild horses than the government admits.

They are servants of the ranchers and don’t deserve a penny of your support.
