Dear Friends of Horses,

The East Valley Tribune Newspaper published in today's Sunday edition, my letter to the editor questioning BLM management of wild horses. My comments in the letter are based on material the Conquistador Program obtained under the Freedom of Information Act with the help of our attorneys. The letter can be read at the following link:

My submitted letter addressed several other issues but the Tribune shortened it to address only those issues affecting AZ horses. The entire letter is posted on the Conquistador Program site at:

The Bridle and Bit Newspaper also published two stories on BLM wild horses this week:

A story on a protest held by AZ community members. This may be viewed by going to the following link:

A second story on Mi Muchacho Valiente (Valiente), a beautiful BLM mustang rescued by the Conquistador Program with the help of Cloud Foundation board member, Julianne French, and compassionate Marana horse people and adopted by a wonderful Phoenix family after an incredible journey from the US to Mexico and back to the US.

Thank you so much to the Bridle and Bit Horse Newspaper and the East Valley Tribune who published this important information.

Thank you to all the members of our community who are working to help wild horses.

Best wishes,

Pat Hiaght
