Wild Horse Connection

It is illegal to feed the wild horses

It is important to know that it is illegal to feed the wild horses in Nevada. Because of a cooperative agreement with the Nevada Department of Agriculture, one of the most important things Wild Horse Connection does is diversionary feeding. We have NDA approved diversionary feeding sites used to divert horses from roadways and neighborhoods. Horses follow patterns. Illegally feeding horses in your neighborhood teaches the horses to come there for food. This is dangerous for you and for the horses.

Our Mission

To keep the Wild Horses of the Virginia Range free by educating the community about living with our Mustangs and rescuing those that have been removed from the range.

We work with the Nevada Department of Agriculture, City, County, Law Enforcement, Developers and Land Owners to achieve this. WHC installs fencing, gates and cattle guards and provides water resources in the higher range so the horses stay high up and not down on our community streets. We train our rescues so they can be used for therapy and emotional support. We provide emergency resources to those in need. We connect our community in order to protect the Wild Mustangs by education and awareness.

Our History

The Wild Horse Connection was formed because there was a need for energetic, nonprofit work in the Reno area. We've consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community! Wild Horse Connection is a 501c(3) devoted to our American Heritage Mustangs. We are a group of individuals who have dedicated our lives to be their voice in a time when their freedom and their lives are being threatened.
