The Bureau of Land Management is misleading the American people about the nation’s wild horses and burros.
Ginger Fedak has spent decades teaching about and advocating for domestic and wild horses. Her work has appeared in AlterNet, Countercurrents, CounterPunch, LA Progressive, and NationofChange. Follow her on Twitter: @gfedidausa.
A lifelong animal advocate and “horse person,” Fedak began her professional career at age 14 mentoring under a natural horsemanship trainer (before the term “natural horsemanship” was coined) and teaching horsemanship and riding lesson classes. She continued with these endeavors and eventually began her own business, Sun Pony Ranch, with two partners. The exceptional horses she trained taught children and adults natural horsemanship and the horse/rider partnership with emphasis on consideration and understanding of, and for, the horse partner.
Fedak earned her B.S. in Range Animal Science and Range Management from Sul Ross State University in west Texas. This has helped her in her career, and in understanding of range conditions and issues for both wild equines and livestock in her long-time wild horse and burro advocacy work, which includes teaching natural horsemanship classes.
Prior to retiring in 2023, Fedak served for many years as the Wild Horse and Burro Campaign Director for the nonprofit group In Defense of Animals.External
