Hello and Happy Wednesday to everyone!

THANK YOU! To everyone who took the time to make a donation to us yesterday on Giving Tuesday!  We are keeping this campaign open through the remainder of this week!  You can find ways that you can donate listed on our website: https://chwha.org/support-chwha/

Chasing Horses Wild Horse Advocates believes that saving these wild horses will come down to a combination of three different ways to actively advocate:

1 – The State of North Dakota creating legislation to save these wild horses

2 – Federal Protection for the wild horses of Theodore Roosevelt National Park

3 – Legal action. 

Chasing Horses Wild Horse Advocates is continuing to work on all three of these as we continue our Fight for the Spirit of the Badlands!

Our advocacy also includes raising awareness about the current plight of these amazing wild horses.  This includes our billboard on I-94, brochures, stickers, postcards and other handouts, as well as advertising on social media and in print ads and YouTube videos.

We are continuing to talk to our ND State legislators on ways that we can be proactive.  Our legislators do not come back into session until 2025, BUT there are things we can and are doing now to be proactive with the state of North Dakota help our beloved wild horses.  We are also communicating with Governor Burgum’s office and the ND State Historic Preservation Office. 

We are continuing to work with Senator Hoeven’s office.  Senator Hoeven is one of our biggest allies in our fight to save these horses!

We are working with the law firm of Eubanks and Associates and will continue to receive guidance from them on what legal recourse we may have as the Park moves forward in this NEPA process.  We have also had a couple of different organizations let us know that they would be willing to sign on with us if this goes to litigation! 

We are grateful for all of the help and support from everyone listed above and each and every one of you.

While we wait for the Park to come back and let us know what they decided their next steps are in this process, CHWHA will be fighting hard to let people know that this fight is far from over and keeping these amazing wild horses in everyone’s mind!  You can help by continuing to share our social media posts and blogs. 

We will continue to engage with the media and keep them informed of any news regarding the wild horses of TRNP.  We have had several new members of the media contact us this week – so watch for more on that coming soon! 

We will also continue our “Horse Talks”!  These have become increasingly popular with everyone! You can view our past Horse Talks on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeyTpwa2Y1yUsTaJ4TU-eNw

Please email us (info@chwha.org) or send us a PM if there is someone you would like us to reach out to for a future Horse Talk or if YOU would be interested in talking with us!

As always, if you have thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to PM us or email us at info@chwha.org.  We do have a voting board but as we always say, ultimately Chasing Horses Wild Horse Advocates belongs to all of you. 

Thank you again for your continued support!  We appreciate each one of you!
