Herd of wild horses walking on a meadow in the morning mist glowing with sunrise light. These are a group of saved mustangs on a ranch in Northern California at a Wild Horse Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is located near Shingletown, California on 5,000 acres of lush lava rock-strewn mountain meadow and forest land. Their goals are to increase public awareness of the genetic, biological, and social value of America's wild horses through pack trips on the sanctuary, publications, mass media, and public outreach programs; continue to develop a working, replicable model for the proper and responsible management of wild horses in their natural habitat; demonstrate that wild horses can co-exist on the open range in ecological balance with many diverse species of wildlife, including black bear, bobcat, mountain lion, wild turkeys, badger, and gray fox; collaborate with research projects in order to document the intricate and unique social structure, biology, reversible fertility control, and native intelligence of the wild horse; Shingletown, Ca; Shingletown, California, United States of America
