Jake Harvath, along with his horses Bella, Denver, and Eddy, completed a 6,000-mile, 14-month ride around the U.S. to raise awareness about the power and plight of wild horses. The journey took them through 25 states, facing challenges such as traffic and harsh weather conditions. Jake aimed to showcase the value of mustangs as companions and work horses in the modern world.

Throughout his journey, Jake received support from strangers, friends, and family, who helped him find places to stay and navigate the challenging terrain. The trip was not only about the horses but also about the human connections made along the way. Despite facing obstacles like crossing the Delaware River and dealing with traffic, Jake remained committed to his mission of advocating for wild horses and promoting adoption as a solution to the wild horse crisis.

Jake’s efforts have brought attention to the BLM’s wild horse and burro adoption program, inspiring others to consider adopting mustangs. While he aims to set a record for the longest continuous horse pack trip in the U.S., his main focus remains on the well-being and future of wild horses. Moving forward, Jake plans to continue advocating for wild horses and sharing stories of ranchers, horse trainers, and farmers to raise awareness about the importance of preserving these animals.
