Our registry is the most comprehensive in the nation for wild equine and their descendants. Our programs include Breeder Division and Stud List, and a Championship Points and Awards Program. All memberships, donations and bequests are fully tax deductible. Our Federal Legislative Office in Washington, DC monitors the current federal regulations that cover the wild horses and burros who are protected by the Wild Free-roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971. The Animal Legal Defense Fund is a nation wide organization of lawyers, law professors, law students and paralegals who are dedicated to ensuring that laws enacted to protect and benefit animals actually do so.
