MODERN EXPLORER “We have a connection to the horses and this land, which goes deeper than everything we do. They truly define who we are. There are hundreds of horses in the sanctuary. They’re wild. And we just give them space and let them be, which ends up supporting the entire ecosystem and provides balance. We believe there’s enough room for all of us.” — JESS OLDHAM Wind River Wild Horse Sanctuary Co-Owner
