Wild Horses freely roam most areas of Nevada!!!
Herds migrate large areas or hang around in grassy areas for a while.
They will stop often to rest, especially near water areas or when the baby foals get tired and lay down to rest.
The entire herd will wait for the little ones to sleep! Please respect their privacy!
If you see a wild horse that is hurt (limping, bleeding...)
or in any kind of danger (on the road, abandoned foal, stuck in a cattle guard...
Please call Wild Horse Connection at (775) 352-3944
This is the only group authorized to handle Wild Horses!
They will call additional groups for further assistance, as needed!
It is illegal for the general public to handle the wild horses!!!
Again... please respect their privacy!!!
