Esperanza  SAN DIEGO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORT THE HERD ~ The SD County Board of Supervisors heard testimony, received factual information and listened to the case regarding the Heritage Herd and voted unanimously to work with the BLM to return the Herd to federal lands ASAP.
Currently, the Coyote Canyon Herd is listed by the international equine conservation non-profit Equus Survival Trust as a critically endangered/nearly extinct breed. CCCd’A would like to create a working plan with BLM for the re-designation and relocation of the Coyote Canyon Heritage Herd on the appropriate Herd Areas (HA’s) designated to them under the 1971 Congressional Act “The Free Roaming Wild Horse and Burro Act.” CCCd’A considers the Heritage herd the living icons representing 243 years of Spanish Mexican occupation, Native American Ranching and Western pioneering in San Diego County. Today’s action directs the Chief Administrative Officer to draft a letter to BLM requesting that they explore the relocation of the Coyote Canyon Heritage Horse Herd to federal lands. This important step in repatriating the Herd does not mean the fight is over. There is much work to do and support is needed in every way. Please become a supporter today!

This Heritage herd are icons of our unique local cultural evolution from Spanish occupation, Native American Ranching, and Pioneering western settlement. The last herd of Southern California wild horses were removed in 2003 by a management plan oversight....
Rising above the Canyon, the Beauty Mountain ranges are subject to a Herd Area revision to provide the herd with permanent home.
Only four stallions remain from of this herd and are being "fostered" in captivity by Coyote Canyon Caballos D'Anza (CCCDA) near Warner Springs. Our vision is to return them to their natural, free-roaming ranges and restore their genetic viability for future generations . The distinction between wild mustangs and the Coyote Canyon Heritage Herd is their direct evolution from Colonial Spanish Horses which were sequestered by local tribes since the late 1700s. The Herd's only known relatives are Utah's Sulphur Spring herd. BLM sent Sulphur foundation mares to enhance and ensure the Coyote Canyon herd's genetic future. http://www.americanspanishsulphur.org/ Restoration of this HERITAGE Herd was offered by BLM as a partnership pilot program whereby our non profit org would manage the herd with BLM assistance. We believe the success of this partnership could provide a platform that could benefit other herds as well. Your positive action and response would be most appreciated.
