The workshop is ultimately about horses. Thousands of excess wild horses have to be removed from public lands in order to maintain ecological balance. Since healthy ranges produce healthy horses, maintaining appropriate horse populations is not only beneficial to their environments and the native animals that share those environments, but it is beneficial to the horses left on the range.

The focus of the workshops is to provide for a safe and humane transition for those animals that have to be brought from their "natural" environment. The Wild Horse Mentoring project is designed to provide assistance to the hundreds of wild horse adopters. The Wild Horse Workshop provides supervised, direct "hands-on" experience for the volunteer mentors.

Make no mistake about it. These horses are wild when they arrive at the workshop.
