Today we heard from our attorneys that the BLM has abandoned the wild mare spay experiment in Oregon. This was very welcome news – last week on Friday a Federal judge ruled in favor of our Preliminary Injunction, halting the cruel and dangerous overiectomy via colpotomy experiments until our case could be heard in court, which gave temporary relief and safety for these Warm Springs mares, but now the BLM has withdrawn completely from this plan.
This withdrawal is a victory to wild horse advocates and plaintiffs in the case: the American Wild Horse Campaign (AWHC), Animal Welfare Institute (AWI); The Cloud Foundation and its executive director Ginger Kathrens, who is also a member of the National BLM Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board; and photographer Carol Walker, Director of Field Documentation for Wild Horse Freedom Federation.
A huge thank you to our wonderful law firm who has been representing us: Meyer Glitzenstein & Eubanks LLP.

Thank you, always trying to keep up with what BLM is doing to those precious creatures of God!????????????
BLM to restore Warm Springs HMA to pre-gather conditions? Return 200 horses that were supposed to go back after the ‘experiments?’
So glad this has been stopped. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to do it in the first place since other options are available. Were there any other businesses or organizations wanting to use these mares for experimental purposes? If so, would like to know who they are.
…thank you to all who are advocates for the wild horses…these beautiful equines need our love and protection…continue to hold the Feds accountable to use good judgment in caring for these national treasures…❤️
This is a big win for the wild horses of Oregon. Unfortunately, there are still gatherings going on and we need to stay vigilant and fight to end these as well. We want these wild spirits to not only survive, but thrive. It’s a good thing that the Dems have the majority in the House!
Thank you all concerned and special thank you to the Judge who saw in the horses favor. Prayers answered, God Bless

Thank God, they have stopped this inhumane program. Foals were being born in the fall. Not when
They were supposed to be in the spring. I have watched the Cloud Foundation Herd since he was born as a tiny Palomino foal. It was a miracle that he lived for 20 or so years. When I saw him for the last time, so thin, so frail looking, I was heartbroken. I cried until I couldn’t cry any more. I still cry when I see him, limping and hurt. I know that it is the way of nature, and the way it is supposed to be. It hurts my heart to know that he died alone with no one or nobody to be with him to comfort him as he made his final journey.
