about

Scene and Herd Wild Horses was founded by Janine Dallow, a lifelong horse advocate and nature enthusiast, driven by a deep concern for the growing threats facing America’s wild horse populations.

Protecting

What Belongs

What began as Janine’s personal mission to protect these animals has grown into a collective effort to educate the public, challenge misinformation, and advocate for humane, science-based management of wild horses across the West.

We believe that wild horses are:

  • A native species, not an invasive one.

  • A vital part of North American history and ecology.

  • Worthy of protection, not removal.

At Scene and Herd, we visit Herd Management Areas (HMAs), gather firsthand documentation, and keep the public informed about proposals, environmental assessments, and BLM actions that threaten these herds.

Our focus is especially sharp on the Carter Reservoir HMA, where federal proposals seek to reduce the herd size from 400 to just 25 horses—citing claims that don’t align with science or history. We’re here to share the truth, amplify recent research, and give the public a chance to speak up before it’s too late.

This is a space for awareness, advocacy, and action.
If you’re here, you care too. And we’re so glad to have you.

We believe wild horses are an iconic part of the American landscape. They are not invasive, not harmful intruders, and absolutely not expendable. They are a native species, integral to the ecological and cultural fabric of this land.

These horses don’t have a voice in the room—but we do.
