Our newest Candidates

Originally captured in the Tule Lake area of Northern California in August 2006, these two strong and proud animals spent eleven months in a holding pen in Susanville, CA.  Several months after a call went out from AWHA requesting two new candidates for our Mounted Unit, these horses were evaluated and chosen by expert trainers, based on their appropriate size, temperament, and mentality.

The successful placement of wild horses into public service programs depends on choosing the appropriate candidates, and providing the proper evaluation, gentling, training and maintenance, along with other support services including transportation and health care.  All of the necessary equipment and expertise to implement this process must be funded through donations, grants, and memberships.

AWHA’s Scholarships for Horses will help ensure that this program will continue.  Our wild horses, whether on the range or in public service, are living treasurers that we must not lose. Please help us keep the program growing through your financial support.
