Restore the Coyote Canyon Wild Horse Herd to its native habitat, namely the Beauty Mountain region of federal lands located in San Diego and Riverside Counties. This area is representative of the habitat that this unique and historic band of wild horses was removed from. The last of the wild, free-roaming herd in Southern California was
stolen from the public in 2003. Beauty Mountain is adjacent to Coyote Canyon, site of the herd area set aside to provide a home range for these animals under the Wild Free-roaming Horse and Burro Act granting them protection in their free roaming condition in perpetuity.
This unique Heritage herd exemplifies our local pioneer and cultural history. They truly are icons of the American West.
