Timeline of the Legal Battle to Preserve the Kigers
The Mission
Defending the Wild with Science and Law
The current management levels for the Kiger and Riddle Mountain HMAs aren't just low—they’re genetically dangerous. We are suing to stop the BLM from scapegoating wild horses for damage caused by commercial livestock.
Our goal is a scientifically viable population of 200 breeding pairs per herd. By protecting their habitat today, we ensure the Kiger legacy doesn't become a memory. Help us stay in the fight by participating in our upcoming benefit auction.
Protect the Living Legends of the High Desert
The Kiger wild horses are the wild soul of Oregon and the last of their kind. But today, their future is at a breaking point. We are in a critical legal battle to stop the BLM from using unscientific population "targets" to justify the mass removal of this iconic herd.
They can’t fight in court, but you can.
The Bureau of Land Management is planning to round up hundreds of Kiger wild horses based on flawed science. Oregon Wild Horse Organization, Central Oregon Wild Horse Coalition, and Western Watersheds Project are in court to demand a future where these herds have enough space, enough grass, and enough genetic diversity to survive for generations.
Habitat protection isn't just an idea—it’s a legal necessity.
How you can help.
Your involvement is vital to the mission of safeguarding the Kiger Wild Horses. You can support us by making a donation to OWHO or participating in our fundraising auction, and by raising awareness of the importance of preserving this unique, iconic herd.
Or join us for our Preserve The Kiger Mustangs Auction to fund the experts and attorneys standing between these horses and the holding pens.

Wild Horses and Their Place in the Ecosystem
Wild horses are a native species whose origins on the North American continent stretch back over 50 million years, making them one of the oldest and most deeply rooted inhabitants of the American West. Far from being outsiders, they have evolved alongside the high desert landscape — its sparse grasses, rocky terrain, and scarce water — developing into resilient, wide-ranging grazers perfectly suited to conditions that challenge most other large animals. In this role, they contribute meaningfully to the health of the ecosystems they inhabit: diversifying plant growth, enriching soil, sustaining predator populations, and providing resources that countless other species depend on. Understanding wild horses means recognizing them not as a romantic relic, but as a functional and irreplaceable part of the living web of the American West.
