Did you know… For decades, horses have freely roamed the Current and Jacks Fork river valleys. Today, this area is the only place in Missouri where wild horses still run free. Many people now see them as a scenic addition to the cultural landscape.

However, around 1990, Ozark National Scenic Riverways management officials almost removed wild horses from the park. The primary argument was that the horses were non-native, and therefore they had to be removed.

Not long after, a plan was enacted to remove wild horses from the park. This action sparked a grassroots campaign, wherein thousands of people demanded that the horses be allowed to stay. Advocates for the horses argued that they were a “cultural resource” – one that predated the park itself. “Wild and free” became the rallying cry of those wishing for the horses to remain. Demonstrations ensued, and the park halted the removal process.

After much debate, one thing could be agreed upon: long-term, accountable horse management was needed. So, in 1992, the Missouri Wild Horse League was formed. The organization was tasked with maintaining healthy herds within Shannon County.
