Get Involved

Start Here.

You care about Assateague’s wild horses. You want to help. But you may not know who is already working on the issue, what has already been tried, or where your time would make the most difference. That is exactly why AHS exists.

You do not need to start another group, petition, records request, or campaign to contribute. Before starting something new, let us help you see what is already underway.

We Want to Hear From You If You:

• witnessed a horse-related incident;
• have photographs or video related to a safety concern;
• have historical documents, articles, photographs, or records;
• regularly visit or photograph the Maryland herd;
• have professional experience that may be useful;
• want to assist with research or fact-checking;
• want to volunteer for a defined project;
• represent an organization interested in collaborating;
• have an advocacy idea and want to know whether someone is already working on it;
• or simply want to know where your help is needed most.

Submit Information

If you have photographs, documents, historical material, eyewitness information, or research leads, send them to us.

Please include as much context as possible:

• What is it?
• When did it occur?
• Where did it come from?
• Did you personally witness it?
• Do you have the original source, photo, or document?

We may preserve the information, verify it, connect it with other records, or route it to an advocate or organization already working on the issue.

Important: If a horse, visitor, or other animal is in immediate danger, contact the appropriate park or emergency personnel. AHS is not an emergency-response service.
