Horse Protection - Horse Directories

The International Society for the Protection of Mustangs and Burros (ISPMB) is the oldest wild horse and burro organization in the United States and has been innovative in the field of wild horse and burro protection. Under the leadership of our first president, Velma Johnston, affectionately known as Wild Horse Annie, ISPMB and Annie were responsible for the passage of federal legislation in 1971 that gave protection to wild horses and burros on public lands from death and harassment.

Wild Horse Observers Association (WHOA) was formed by Placitas, New Mexico community members to protect and preserve the remaining wild horses and their habitats in the areas of Placitas, New Mexico, the state of New Mexico, and all the United States. WHOA supports the preservation of wild horse family units (bands) and herds where they naturally roam.

The Hidden Valley Wild Horse Protection Fund is an all volunteer Nevada non-profit organization. It was organized in 2008 with the mission to protect and preserve the Wild Horses that settle during the winter months in the foothills surrounding Hidden Valley.

What started out as a helping hand to just a few horses in need grew to a Way Station for PMU horses coming from Canada through United Pegasus Foundation.  From there we began taking on rescues one at a time, and developing them to get them into new homes..  With  more horses in need coming in , helping out other rescues by taking on and homing horses from feedlot sale yards and auction yards, we were busy. We also started getting calls from racetrack trainers looking to find good homes for their retiring racehorses.  As we started taking those horses on, things started to develop and we became an IRS determined 501(c)3 non-profit animal welfare charity.

The non- profit Cloud Foundation is dedicated to preventing the extinction of Cloud’s herd through education, media events and programming, and public involvement.

Corolla Wild Horses Fund strives to protect, conserve, and responsibly manage the herd of wild Colonial Spanish Mustangs roaming freely on the northernmost Currituck Outer Banks, and to promote the continued preservation of this land as a permanent sanctuary for horses designated as the State Horse and defined as a cultural treasure by the state of North Carolina.
