Wild Horse Supporter

Help Me Continue Documenting Missouri’s Wild Horses

I spend a great deal of time in the field following and documenting the wild horses of Missouri.

Over time, I learn the individual horses, their personalities, family relationships, new foals, changing herd dynamics, and the difficult moments that are also part of their lives.

This work requires regular travel, many hours in the field, and the ongoing cost of fuel, equipment, website hosting, and maintaining the growing archive.

If this work matters to you and you would like to help me continue doing it, you can become a Wild Horse Supporter for $10 per month.

Your support directly helps make the fieldwork possible.

What Your Support Helps Fund

Your membership helps offset the real costs of documenting the horses, including:

  • Travel and fuel for regular field visits
  • Maintaining the Wild Horses of Missouri website and archive
  • Equipment and field expenses
  • The time required to follow individual horses and herds over months and years
  • Preserving the photographs, stories, histories, and observations I gather along the way

My goal is simple: to build an honest long-term record of these horses and their lives.

What Supporters Receive

Wild Horse Supporters receive additional material that goes deeper than my free Wild Horse Field Notes, including:

  • Extended field journals and stories
  • Deeper looks at individual horses and herds
  • Additional photographs from the field
  • Updates on changing herd relationships and significant events
  • Behind-the-scenes notes about what I am seeing and learning
  • Occasional longer features drawn from the growing archive

I do not want this membership to become a content treadmill with material produced simply because a calendar says something is due.

The horses determine the story.

When something meaningful happens, I want to take the time to document it properly and share it with you.
