Review:
Established in 1988 by Oregonian rancher, Dayton O. Hyde, the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary sprawls over 11,000 acres of private land in the southern Black Hills.
This sacred stretch of land has been preserved in honor of its Native American and early pioneer history, and conservation efforts have ensured the flourishment of native plants and wildlife.
Herds of wild and rescued horses share the land with cougars, coyotes, elk, deer, turkeys, falcons, and eagles. Large expanses of open prairie, rocky canyons, and pine forests paint themselves against a clear blue sky. Visitors to the sanctuary will witness Choctaw Indian, American, and Spanish Mustangs running free across hidden meadows. Tours are taken by SUV. Guests may book overnight excursions and weekend getaways.
