Exposing the Hypocrisy, Lies and Incompetence of the Wild Horse Advocates
The problem goes all the way back to Eve.
Nowhere is it more evident than in the wild horse world.
Refer to this opinion piece in Compact for a survey of the situation.
It is still controversial, even in conservative circles, to say that there are too many women in a given field or that women in large numbers can transform institutions beyond recognition in ways that make them cease to function well.
The Great Feminization
The southern herd had no fresh water for nearly two weeks according to a story by Shore Daily News.
High tides from Hurricane Erin and lack of rain are thought to be responsible for the contamination.
The northern herd was not affected.
The ponies are unique as stated in the article, not because of adaption to island life, but because of the highly abnormal sex ratio and unprecedented birth rate.
In August, after the pony swim but before the hurricane, the herd consisted of 23 males and 126 females.
The population limit is 150.
The saltwater cowboys have turned the wildlife refuge into a puppy mill for wild horses, raking in over $1 million from this year’s auction.
The BLM must pay $4.78 per head per day for the contract extension, according to a report by The Colorado Sun, up from $4.45.
That works out to about $143 per AUM.
The agency receives $1.35 from ranchers for every AUM on public lands liberated by removal of wild horses therefrom, an irrational and unsustainable practice.
The advocates would solve the problem by poisoning the mares with ovary-killing pesticides, leaving everything for the ranchers.
The article said that alfalfa hay is higher in nutrients and more expensive than grass hay or alfalfa-grass mix, which is contrary to experience.
In this area alfalfa usually costs a few dollars less per bale than grass or mix, which explains why it’s a mainstay of diets in off-range corrals.
Some horses cannot adapt to the feed, which is not found in their lawful homes.

Despite testimony from veterinarians who said the facility is inhumane, a three-judge panel is likely to uphold a 2024 decision approving construction of the off-range corrals, according to a report by Courthouse News.
Plaintiffs were unable to demonstrate that the occurrence of sickness, injury or death was higher in Winnemucca than other such facilities.
An attorney for the government argued that plaintiffs’ claims pertained to stresses caused by the method of capture but the decision to build and operate the corrals did not depend on how the horses would get there.

They’re obsessed with pesticides.
They’re managing the herds to extinction.
They’re selling mass sterilization as wild horse conservation.
They want the horses to suffer and the ranchers to prosper.
Their followers ratify the destruction.
Is it because they’re female or because they’re liberals?
The allotment master report gives authorization #2700562 for the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses.
The authorization use report indicates 267 cattle on a 5.5-month grazing season.
How many horses would the resource support?
The livestock type and grazing season would change but not the AUMs.
AUMs for horses = AUMs for livestock
The grazing season would be 12 months.
Let x = number of horses.
12x = 5.5(267)
Solve for x.
x = 122
The permit would be written for 122 wild horses.
On the western side of the Virginia Range with Art.
Researchers at the University of Wyoming found that the animals can maintain good body condition across a variety of landscapes and different seasons according to an October 16 news release.
The study confirms previous research showing high dietary overlap of free-roaming horses and cattle.
Let’s put that finding into practice.
The Stewart Creek HMA lies within the Stewart Creek Allotment. Their borders coincide, more or less, except for the northeast corner.
The 175 horses allowed by plan receive 2,100 AUMs per year.
The permittees receive 8,267 AUMs per year, equivalent to 689 wild horses due to the interchangeability of forage.
Therefore, the land should be able to support 175 + 689 = 864 wild horses.
The herd is held to 20% of carrying capacity because the HMA is managed primarily for livestock.
Advocates with the Wyoming Wild Horse Improvement Partnership enforce the plan by beating the horse numbers down with ovary-killing pesticides.

The advocates convert free-roaming self-reliant herds into curated horse exhibits with their darting and feeding programs.
Signs of their presence:
They talk about wild horses and put photos of such on socialist media, but when they get through the herds are anything but.

Three interesting characteristics of the in-depth article by WyoFile:
However, he did give considerable airtime to Christi Chapman, co-founder of the Wyoming Wild Horse Improvement Partnership, who, according to an undated brochure posted by the state legislature, was raised in a ranching lifestyle, received a formal education in soils and livestock production and has worked in the agriculture industry for over 20 years.
Volunteers with WYWHIP are certified in the remote delivery of PZP and are active in the Stewart Creek HMA, earning the nonprofit a spot on the list of charlatans.
He was taken off the beach and treated for colic but last week his condition went south so they put him down according to a report by The Outer Banks Voice.
They said he lived the kind of life they want for every foal born on the beach but did not mention the declining number of foals born on the beach or anywhere else, thanks to their use of PZP, so the long-term prospects for the herd remain uncertain.
Your faithful public servants claim that public lands in the western U.S. can only support one wild horse per thousand acres (25,600 animals on 25.6 million acres according to the last page in the 2025 population dataset).
A simple way to apply this rule is to round the acreage to the nearest thousand and drop the last three digits.
For example, Thirty Mile Spring, an allotment in eastern Nevada, covers 178,716 public acres.
If it was an HMA, the AML would be 179.
The permittee receives 8,405 active AUMs (per year), equivalent to 700 wild horses.
Thus, the horse population would be held to approximately 25% of carrying capacity, with 75% devoted to livestock, which means 700 – 179 = 521 wild horses would be consigned to off-range holding because of permitted grazing.
The advocates like the arrangement and want it enforced with ovary-killing pesticides, not low-flying helicopters.

Last week they held their fall fundraiser in a gay enclave.
Yesterday they celebrated Indigenous Peoples Day, not Columbus Day.
This is how they win the protections of the Democrat Party, including censorship of their critics and legislation that supports their anti-horse / pro-ranching agenda.

Helicopters are the fastest and most efficient way of shifting resources from wild horses and burros to privately owned cattle and sheep.
An advantage of mass sterilization, favored by the advocates, is that the herds don’t bounce back.
Would you vote for a candidate who talks like that?
Then why do you give money to the advocates?
If we don’t poison the mares with ovary-killing pesticides, the herds might grow.
The Wild Horse and Burro Protection Act would phase out the use of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft for rounding up free-roaming horses and burros, a practice that leads to population growth according to the advocates.
The alternative would likely be long-term use of immunocontraceptives, sometimes referred to as mass sterilization, a service they provide.
The bill would not link Appropriate Management Level, an undefined concept in the statute, to principal use.
It would not repeal the Burns Amendment.
The statement reveals their attitude toward wild horses and burros.
They hate foals. They view these animals as pests and think reproduction is a defect, not an essential characteristic, of nature.
The bill will go nowhere in Congress but it’s a great way to keep their base fired up and the donations rolling in.

Not bad for a herd of 150.
Meanwhile, at the Salt River, a herd of 280 has only produced one or two foals in 2025 because the advocates are sterilizing the mares with PZP.
