Wild Horse Inmate Program

The Wild Horse Inmate Program is a partnership between government agencies and correctional facilities where inmates work with wild or untrained horses. The program aims to help inmates develop skills such as patience, responsibility, and trust, while also providing the horses with humane training and socialization. Through structured interactions, inmates and horses build mutual understanding, which can improve the horses' chances for adoption and help inmates prepare for life after incarceration. Overall, it combines animal welfare with rehabilitation efforts to promote positive change for both parties.
