Wild Horse Sanctuary

Wild Horse Sanctuary The Sanctuary is located near Shingletown, California on 5,000 acres of lush lava rock-strewn mountain meadow and forest land. Lassen is to the east.

The Wild Horse Sanctuary is a non-profit, tax exempt, public foundation and 5,000 acre preserve dedicated to the protection and preservation of America's wild horses. Rather than allow 80 wild horses living on public land to be destroyed, the founders of the Wild Horse Sanctuary made a major life decision right then and there to rescue these unwanted horses and create a safe home for them. And jus

t as quickly, they launched a media campaign to bring attention to the plight of these and hundreds of other wild horses across the west that eventually led to a national moratorium on killing un-adoptable wild horses. Black Butte is to the west and towering Mt. The current location features better accessibility for the public, a milder winter climate with more natural cover, and other benefits for the horses.

Let's shine the spotlight on Jasper the roan from Washington, Houdini our resident b***o with a few battle scars because he's the top b***o in charge, and Dianne's dog Newt who loves to get in on the action.

Meet our board of directors. They are a diligent group of women who spent the weekend together to develop strategies for 2025 and beyond. Following seven hours of collaboration around the table, they took a break to appreciate the horses. Although they typically hold monthly meetings via Zoom, it was a pleasure to meet in person and socialize together.
