William will be the Voice for the Wild Horses & B***os & The USA Wild Lands.
Saving American wild horses is not a partisan political endeavor; it must be a bipartisan effort. Wild horses don't care who the president is or isn't. The only thing that matters is who is in charge of the BLM's Wild Horse and B***o Program.
To reclaim our greatness, we must champion the well-being of American wild horses. These majestic beings carry our history, hopes, and dreams. They have plowed our fields, fought bravely in our wars, and have been symbols of freedom and resilience. Let us honor their legacy and ensure their future, as they are an integral part of our journey forward.
William E. Simpson II has the skills and experience to humanely manage, advocate for, and protect American wild horses and burros.
Key Reasons William is the right choice to run the BLM Wild Horse and B***o Program:
1. William is a trained scientist with working science knowledge.
2. William has corporate business experience as a CEO and knows how to navigate the corporate world and work with a wide range of stakeholders on all sides of the issues 3. William has developed and proven a Nature-based, Humane, and cost-effective solution for wild horses so they can be managed in a natural manner consistent with their needs
4. William has a proven track record of doing what he says and action. He walks the talk.
5. William has saved an entire herd of cultural heritage horses (200 horses), which are now protected.
6. Numerous elected officials recognize William as an expert in wild horse management.

7. William has the only Plan that scales up and can save tens of thousands of horses quickly and naturally.
8. William's Plan provides the evolutionary-level sustainable genetic conservation that the IUCN recommends, which preserves the genetic vigor of wild horses.
9. William is supported by numerous elected officials, people in the insurance industry, and media outlets. William's Plan, known as the 'Natural Wildfire Abatement and Forest Protection Plan,' aka 'Wild Horse Fire Brigade,' has been proven to work and tested by catastrophic wildfires.
10: William's vision is validated by the fact that his all-volunteer nonprofit board has two PhDs participating who did their dissertations on wild horses and considered William an expert in wild horse ecology-ethology.
11. William executed his vision to create a university-level course in wild horse ecology-ethology when his nonprofit (Wild Horse Fire Brigade) signed a 5-year contract with CALSTATE in 2023. The classes teach university students who have learned the truth about wild horses and the environmental benefits horses provide to wilderness ecosystems.
12. William possesses no historical context, ulterior motives, or financial interests pertaining to the cattle or sheep industry.

Blue Wing wild horses take a stand!
In a moment of defiance, a band of mustangs stands their ground as a roaring helicopter looms overhead. Led by their courageous stallion, each band member unites against their pursuer with powerful determination.
~ AWHC
Some good comments from the post:
How can anyone witness this and not be shaken to their core?
A family united against overwhelming odds, free, defending one another and their home, fierce beauty, magnificent.
And,
We should stand as tall and proud as these horses.

Today is my birthday, and it is bittersweet. I am so saddened by the abuse and mismanagement of the wild horses that it doesn't feel right to celebrate. What would warm my heart is for everyone to take action to help these beautiful sentient beings. I have been on this journey to restore protection to Wild Horses since 2005, and they need our VOICE NOW, worse than ever!
But there is hope. It comes in the form of your singular voice. There is no stopping the power of millions of singular voices.
For The Horses,
Sonya Richins Founder/CEO of Wild Heart Sanctuary

Please call the US Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121. Ask your elected officials to ensure that wild horses and burros are given their rightful federal protections and to stop the cruel helicopter roundups before it’s too late.

It’s ‘grassroots’ versus ‘suits.’ Be part of the change. Wild horses need our voices now more than EVER. Here is the link from WHE to sign a petition, which only takes a few seconds:

On Mother's Day, we honor Wind Walker, the lead mare of the Wild Heart Herd, for her bravery in protecting her foal during her horrific roundup in 2008. The FIRST photo shows the Mares and Foals from the Sinbad Herd arriving at the BLM Holding Pens. The lead mare, Wind Walker, tries to guide the group, but she looks terrified and confused. In the background, her foal, Baby Noble Moon (crescent moon of forehead), is trying to keep up with their mother, looking extremely scared. The SECOND photo is of Wind Walker and Noble Moon at the BLM holding pens after Sonya adopted them. As you can see, Noble's face was cut, and Wind Walker had an injured jaw from the inhumane handling of the BLM. The THIRD photo embodies the moment of triumph as they reached their safe home, having gone through unimaginable fear, confusion, and trauma. Despite the challenges, they persevered and demonstrated incredible courage and resilience. Their strength of character and love for one another is truly inspiring. It is worth noting that they were the ones who started the Wild Heart Sanctuary. Wind Walker is a testament to her unwavering determination to create a better future for her filly Noble Moon. Happy Mare Day!
