This year’s roundup season is among the largest wild horse and burro removal efforts in recent U.S. history, continuing a pattern of large-scale removals that has occurred in recent years. And behind every number is a family, a herd, and a life that could be changed forever. Wild horses and burros know their bands. They know their mothers, their foals, their companions, and the landscapes where they were born. They raise their young, protect one another, and move together across the open range.
