Jack,

Halloween is here. Out in the wild, the night is alive with mystery under the light of the moon.

As we celebrate the spookiest day of the year, we remember our wild horses and burros — their silhouettes drifting across the range. They are some of America’s oldest legends.

They roam through the desert hills like shadows — a reminder that, like any true ghost story, they are a piece of our shared heritage: mysterious, powerful, and deserving of their freedom.

It’s no wonder they’ve earned a reputation as some of the most spirited creatures out there!

So, on this Halloween night, let us honor the wild, untamed, and enduring spirits of America’s wild herds. Here’s to the magic, mystery, and majesty they bring to our lives in the daytime and by the light of the moon.

Happy Halloween from all of us at American Wild Horse Conservation!

Forever wild,

Team AWHC
