Welcome to the first episode of our Love to Death series, where we bring you inside the western rangelands through the voices of the people who live and work there. In this episode, we meet Gary Miller, a rancher in Eastern Oregon who stands at the center of a complex and often misunderstood issue: how to support wild horse survival while protecting the rangelands they all rely on. Our series reveals how ranchers like Gary are often providing water and stewardship, while unchecked wild horse populations, now more than 300% above sustainable levels, strain fragile ecosystems. You’ll hear how the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 shapes today’s challenges and why overpopulation threatens not just the land, but the wildlife that depends on it. This episode is the beginning of a larger journey. Stories that illuminate how ranchers are working to help the wild horse and burro herds and the environment they call home.

The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 mandated federal agencies with maintaining ecological balance on our Western rangelands, but wild horse and burro populations now exceed sustainable levels by more than 300%. This overpopulation is devastating fragile ecosystems, depleting water resources, and harming both wildlife and the horses themselves. Meanwhile, activist groups have crippled federal management efforts through constant litigation, preventing the responsible management needed to restore ecological balance and healthy wild horse herds.

In Episode 3 of Loved to Death, we follow Jenny, a Bureau of Land Management employee, on the day of an emergency wild horse gather in Nevada. Filmed from the public viewing area, this episode offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how and why emergency gathers occur and what conditions on the ground make them necessary. Years of drought, limited rainfall, and unchecked population growth have pushed this herd management area to more than four times its sustainable level. With forage nearly gone and water sources unable to support the number of horses on the range, managers are faced with difficult decisions aimed at preventing further suffering as winter approaches. Jenny explains how body condition scores, water availability, and habitat health factor into management decisions, and why wild horses are managed differently than livestock or wildlife under federal law. The episode also highlights the role of partnerships particularly with local ranchers in maintaining water sources and protecting fragile desert ecosystems for the long term. This episode is not about spectacle or controversy. It’s about reality: what happens when the land reaches its limits, and what responsible management looks like when inaction is no longer an option.

In Episode 2 of Loved To Death, ranch manager Stacy Davies pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood issues in the American West: the impact of wild horse overpopulation on fragile rangelands. While many imagine mustangs running free on endless grass and flowing streams, Stacie explains a much harsher reality - one where horses overwhelm water sources, drive out wildlife, and degrade the land until it can no longer sustain them. More than 80% of the water these horses rely on is man-made wells, pipelines, and reservoirs built and maintained by ranchers at their own expense. As populations grow, ranchers are forced to cut their own cattle numbers and absorb the financial losses just to keep the range healthy. Stacy shares why responsible management matters, what happens when herds exceed the land’s limits, and why both the horses and the ecosystem suffer when action isn’t taken.

Wolves: True Conflict is an original documentary by Western Justice that explores modern wolf management in Eastern Washington through the perspectives of those who live and work on the land every day. Ranchers, wildlife professionals, and on-the-ground experts share what coexistence actually looks like beyond headlines, policy statements, and social media debate. Through firsthand ride-alongs, trail camera footage, and real-world encounters, the film examines the real costs: economic, emotional, and ecological of wolf recovery on the range. This is not a film about ideology. It’s a film about reality in the rural West. The full documentary is coming soon. Learn more at www.wjustice.org
