    58. A Journey for Wild Horses and a Reprieve
    Sep 15 2025
    Have you ever wondered where the fight to save wild horses is headed? In this episode, I take you on a journey that began 21 years ago, when I first discovered that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was planning to remove most of the wild horses from Adobe Town, a herd I had grown to love. Through 22 roundups across five states, I've photographed and shared the painful reality of the BLM’s actions.

    The recent 10th Circuit Court victory gave us hope, ruling that the BLM’s plan to eliminate three Wyoming herds was illegal. But the fight is far from over. This week, our group filed a lawsuit that resulted in a victory: the BLM has delayed its scheduled roundup, temporarily protecting nearly 3,000 wild horses. Tune in to hear the actions that need to be taken to protect these wild horses and ensure their long-term survival on our public lands.

    57. The Bitter End: How to Zero Out the Adobe Town Herd
    Aug 25 2025
    What does it really take to zero out a wild horse herd? In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of the Adobe Town roundup, where the BLM captured far more wild horses than they should have, pushing this herd dangerously close to being wiped out. Though their target was met, the process that led to this moment was far from transparent or humane.

    I spent five days observing the roundup, witnessing heartbreaking moments. While the roundup is now over, the real damage is done. The BLM has not confirmed whether they will conduct a post-roundup count, and with horses being sent to facilities where public access is restricted, the fate of these horses remains uncertain. The future of these wild horses hangs in the balance, and we have to keep fighting to make sure they are protected.

    56. A Win for Wild Horses and a Roundup
    Jul 28 2025
    What does it mean to win in court while wild horse roundups continue on the ground? In this episode, I share the emotional highs and lows of a pivotal week in the fight to protect Adobe Town’s wild horses. Just as the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in our favor—finding the BLM acted arbitrarily in its plan to zero out nearly 2 million acres of wild horse habitat—the helicopters were already in the air, continuing their work.

    I take you behind the scenes at the Adobe Town roundup. You’ll hear what I witnessed on the range: stallions trying desperately to stay with their families, foals calling for their mothers, and the heartbreaking reality of horses who will likely never return to the wild. This episode is a reminder that while we’ve made progress in the courtroom, the struggle to protect these wild horses continues.
