Wild Freedom 2016

BIG LOVE, BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO BROUGHT WILD FREEDOM 2016 TO LIFE FOR IDAHO WILD HORSES! BOISE LOVE CAN'T BE BEAT! TO OUR TOP-NOTCH PRODUCTION TEAM, CATERERS, VOLUNTEERS, DONORS, MUSICIANS, GUESTS AND EVERY PERSON WHO PARTICIPATED AND SUPPORTED: YOU ARE LOVED AND APPRECIATED BEYOND MEASURE!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU! THIS LOVE IS WILD AND FOREVER THANKS TO FOLKS LIKE YOU! XOX

Wild Freedom 2016 is a two-day event to benefit Wild Love Preserve and the preservation of Idaho wild horses on home turf. In celebration of ASPCA Help-A-Horse-Day, Wild Love Preserve is also in the running to win a $25,000 grant and you can help with your support. We are joining together as a collective community to raise funds for WLP and our wild horse expanse in the heart of Idaho wild horse country. Wild Freedom 2016 events are being held on April 23 at Cinder Winery and April 24 at Boise Hive. Fundraising celebrations include live music, auctions, family fun, good eats and more.

Currently WLP’s 130 rescued Idaho wild horses reside on 400 leased acres, which, along with supplemental hay and operations, costs Wild Love Preserve $12,500 a month. We hope this year’s Wild Freedom event will be a tremendous success and help us achieve the funding to acquire this wild expanse for the WLP Land Trust and enable us to release WLP’s 130 wild horses in June. Partners at the Idaho Youth Employment Program and WLP volunteers are ready to get working on wildlife friendly perimeter fencing, springs and tree planting. Opportunities to volunteer, contribute and visit Wild Love Preserve will be plentiful for those who wish to be part of this legacy project.
