Nugget The Golden Horse And Chance The Big Paint Horse

Sometimes love needs no words.
It simply arrives… even where it seems there is no strength left.
The final days can be quiet.
Hands grow weak.
Breath becomes slow.
Yet the heart still recognizes what it has loved for a lifetime.
This touch is not accidental.
It carries memories of fields, of long roads, of years spent side by side.
Of a friendship that does not fade, even when the body is tired.
The horse lowers its head not out of habit.
It is saying goodbye.
It is giving thanks.
It is staying — until the very end.
Because true devotion knows no boundaries between home and a hospital room.
It simply is.
Until the final breath.

For years, an underground horse meat market operated in the shadows, fueled by stolen horses, missing paperwork, and total disregard for animal welfare. Many horses were neglected, trafficked, and killed without oversight, ending their lives in fear and cruelty.

A new law now strengthens enforcement against illegal horse meat operations, giving authorities more power to investigate trafficking networks, protect vulnerable horses, and hold those responsible accountable.

This matters because horses are not commodities. They are companions, working partners, and animals deeply woven into human history and family life. Treating them as disposable products is abuse, not tradition.

Animal advocates are calling this a long-overdue step forward. It won’t end exploitation overnight, but for many horses, it could mean rescue instead of slaughter, safety instead of suffering, and dignity instead of silence.

🌟 New billboards up in Nevada! 💫

One of the most important components of advocacy and change-making is building awareness. HUGE thanks to the generous donors who made these billboards possible. 🙏

The Virginia Range is uniquely situated alongside Reno—a rapidly growing metro area where development continues to encroach on wild horse habitat. That proximity creates an important opportunity to build public appreciation for these highly visible herds, while also fostering the respect that’s essential for their safety and wellbeing. 🐴

Our Nevada team are rockstars. They run the Virginia Range fertility control program—the largest of its kind in the world—currently in its 6th year. Out in the field rain or shine, they know these horses inside-out. Let's give a shout-out to our incredible staff and volunteers who are essential to this program's incredible success. 👏 We are proving that in-the-wild conservation is humane, effective and scalable, and offering a safe alternative to cruel helicopter roundups. 🚁

Absolutely incredible magical ride of a lifetime! The clouds came down to us and we rode and rode through them! It was on another level! This video will never do this breathtaking ride justice. Words could not even begin to describe this! It felt like something out of a fairytale. Chance is the so incredibly healing for me. I am so thankful for him. These rides rejuvenate, and cleanse my heart and soul. Chance takes away all my worries. I left the barn with peace knowing everything always works out for the greater good.
