Jack,

Wyoming’s Checkerboard is home to something truly extraordinary: wild curly-haired mustangs , a rare and mysterious lineage of horses with thick, curly coats, manes, and tails. Roaming in the Salt Wells Creek and White Mountain Herd Managment Areas (HMAs), their origins remain a scientific curiosity and a wild legacy they still carry.

But this living piece of history is now at risk of disappearing forever.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plans to slash the population of the iconic Adobe Town herd, and even worse, completely eradicate the Great Divide Basin and Salt Wells Creek HMAs. If this plan moves forward, every last horse in those HMAs faces removal and lifetime confinement.

Worse still, this initiative isn’t about what’s best for the land — it’s about livestock .

The BLM’s population limits are based on allocating 91% of available forage in these areas to private cattle and sheep, leaving almost no room for wild horses to coexist.

We are now in a critical moment. The future of these herds — and the survival of the curly mustangs' unique genetic legacy — hinges on AWHC's ongoing legal battle for their freedom and public outcry.
