National Wild Horse & Burro Conference

Join us for an unforgettable weekend dedicated to advocacy, education, and action!

We’re excited to announce this year’s Save America’s Wild Horses Conference, where passionate advocates, experts, and enthusiasts will come together to learn, connect, and explore ways to protect America’s iconic wild horses.

Conference and Adventure Schedule 

Thursday, April 30 — Welcome Reception & Social Night
Kick things off in style at the stunning Mangelsen Images of Nature Gallery, where we’ll gather for a relaxed welcome reception surrounded by breathtaking wildlife photography.
Afterward, we’ll head to The Cabin for dinner, laughter, and a whole lot of fun—complete with line dancing and lessons led by the incredible Katie McCarron. No experience required, just bring your energy!

​

Friday, May 1 — Out in the Wild (Optional Community Meetup)
For those who want to join, we’ll spend the day visiting the inspiring Wild Horses. Many attendees will already be heading out together, and we’ll help coordinate carpooling (caravan-style) to keep things organized and eco-friendly.
Lunch will be generously provided by the Conference. This is an optional, informal outing for connection, reflection, and time on the land.

​

Saturday, May 2 — Conference Day: The Wild at the Core
A powerful day of learning with leading experts diving into everything wild—from the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, to the future of our public lands, and how we move forward to protect what must remain wild.

 

Sunday, May 3 — Conference Day: What Comes After
Hear from leaders on the ground about what happens after removals: rescues, sanctuaries, innovative programs, and real pathways to getting horses into homes. We’ll also explore meaningful ways you can make a difference.

 

Monday, May 4 — Out in the Wild Again (Optional Adventure)
We’ll close out the weekend with another bucket-list HMA visit for those who wish to join. Many of us are eager to go, and we’ll help coordinate carpooling once again.
Lunch will be generously provided by the Conference as we end the week grounded in connection, community, and the land.

 Speakers - More Coming Soon!
