It’s been almost 15 months since we sent the National Park Service a letter urging them to maintain the herd of wild horses in Theodore Roosevelt National Park and elevated the issue by calling a press conference at the Capitol with state legislators, who ultimately passed a resolution urging the same.
We’re deeply grateful to the thousands of supporters whose voices were heard yesterday when the NPS announced it has terminated its planning process for the “livestock,” and we thank the NPS for listening.
We will remain vigilant to ensure that the wild horses continue to be a permanent fixture, preserving this popular attraction and important piece of the park’s incredible history.

Today we submitted a letter urging the National Park Service to maintain a herd of wild horses at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, noting their significance to tourism, the local economy and the history of the park and its namesake.
Grateful to our state legislators from across North Dakota, North Dakota Dept. of Commerce, Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation, Dickinson Convention & Visitors Bureau and all those who have made their voices heard on this issue for joining us today.
