Some of America's last truly wild horses live on our western public lands. They live in deeply bonded family bands within a complex society of intricate realtionships. And they are in danger of being 'managed' into extinction.

The Cloud Foundation is a Colorado 501(c)3 non-profit organization that grew out of founder Ginger Kathrens’ knowledge and fear for wild horses in the West. 

"I began to realize that we were losing America’s wild horses. They are rounded up by the thousand, losing in an instant what they value most–freedom and family."

She realized that even the iconic stallion Cloud and his family, made famous through her own Nature series documentaries, were in danger.

We could lose these herds forever, unless we’re willing to stand up for them now.
