Yet Bill Richardson, New Mexico Governor and Democratic presidential hopeful, has not yet announced his position on signing a Wild Horse Protection Bill - after it passed unanimously in the New Mexico House, and with only one opposing vote in the New Mexico Senate! SB655, The Wild Horse Protection Act, creates a legal definition for the wild horse in New Mexico and establishes protections conserving the Spanish Colonial Horse, now extinct in Spain. Please urge Governor Richardson to sign this bill. Let him know protecting wild horses is an incredibly popular position nationally, as they are truly majestic symbols of the West for all Americans.
