about us
“A large and liquid eye. The swirl of dust around pounding hooves …
These, then, are the images that move us.” ~ Author Unknown
Placitas Wild is a New Mexico, non-profit, tax-exempt corporation dedicated to nurture and care for the wild horses of the Wild Horse Preserve at the San Felipe Pueblo. The preserve is home to wild horses that have roamed our shared communities for decades. Formed primarily to keep the Placitas area wild horses safe, Placitas Wild also supports and advocates for all large mammals in the area including bear, elk, deer, cougar, bobcat, and coyote.
Our efforts support continuous and unobstructed access between established and future critical wildlife corridors ranging from the Jemez Mountains to the Sandia and Manzano Mountains, and north to the Galisteo Basin.
Placitas Wild is a frequent sponsor of community educational programs about living with wildlife. We make every effort to communicate the Placitas community views to planning groups and governmental agencies at all levels as provided by the corporation By-Laws.
