How did this continent survive before the Spaniards brought horses to it? Can we survive without them, or with only the number that the wild range acreage available can support? And what will have to give way, so that every wild horse born will be able to live to a ripe, old horse age? Judging by my experience with farm work horses some 50 to 60 years ago, that may be about 30 years. Members of the Wild Horse Old-timers Association (WHOA) may be able to provide a more accurate estimate.

I presume you are talking about their off-spring being able to live to a ripe, old horse age too. Exactly where do you plan on keeping these horses because right now the West is overflowing with them! They are eating themselves out of house and home. That’s why they get rounded up and sent to the slaughter houses.
If states rights becomes and issue in the next election or even the next decade, all the now public lands will be turned over to the states that legally own it. At that time just how big of a fight do you expect there will be when county voters get to decide just how much taxes they are willing to pay to let them graze to this ripe, old horse age that you so keenly desire.
I suggest that you get the Wild Horse Old-timers Association (WHOA) to start a collection fund right now.
