Dear Jack,

As the year comes to a close, I wanted to reach out to wish you and your family a happy holiday and thank you for lending your voice, your time, and your passion to American Wild Horse Conservation this year. Your advocacy and action helped power this movement throughout 2025, and we are deeply grateful for all the ways you showed up for wild horses.

2025 was a full and meaningful year for our movement. Together, we showed up for America’s wild horses in powerful ways — defending vulnerable herds, documenting the reality our wild herds face during roundups, advancing humane, science-based solutions, and continuing to build a growing grassroots army advocating for a better future for these iconic animals.

This year, your actions mattered. You volunteered, signed petitions, contacted lawmakers, shared our messages, and stood with us in moments of urgency. You helped amplify the call for better protections for wild horses and burros. Your commitment reminded us of something essential: change is driven by people — and when it comes to protecting wild horses, freedom can’t wait.

As you spend time with loved ones this holiday season, I hope you’ll take a moment to reflect on the role you played in protecting America’s wild horses and burros, and feel proud of the impact you helped create.

On behalf of the Board, staff, and everyone at American Wild Horse Conservation, thank you for standing with us this year. We are deeply grateful for you, and we look ahead to the new year with hope, determination, and appreciation for this extraordinary community.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a peaceful New Year.

Warm wishes,

Patricia + the AWHC Team
