The Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary is Home to America's Largest Wild Horse Herd!
Over 500 wild horses including American Spanish Mustangs, Sulphur and Kiger Mustangs, herds from State Governments, Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service land make their home on 11,000 acres in the pristine Black Hills of South Dakota. The wild horse herds graze on prairie grasses and water in the Cheyenne River that winds thru wild canyon lands in the heart of it. The Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary, founded by Dayton O. Hyde, is about helping any wild horse in need! Support for the wild horse herds comes from revenues generated from visitors each year, gift shop sales, grants, donations, foal sales from the herd horses: which include wild horse foals, mustang foals and foals from the registered AQHA, and APHA bands.
