Many of the horses sold into slaughter have been abused and neglected or are wild horses. Be sure to report all instances of cruelty to your local animal control office and law enforcement office.
Please report stolen horses to local and state authorities. The Internet has numerous websites for reporting and looking for stolen horses. These sites allow individuals around the country to share information and photos.
Do not sell your horse at an auction; many of the horses at auctions are bought by killer-buyers. Consider the following options:
- donating your horse to an equine rescue organization; making arrangements with a retirement farm; both with proper references and a detailed agreement that the horse will never be sold to slaughter.
- donating, selling or leasing your horse to a therapeutic riding program;
- selling the horse privately to an individual with proper references and a detailed agreement that the horse will never be sold to slaughter.
- Even humane euthanasia by a licensed veterinarian is preferable to cruel transport and slaughter.
Please write the Secretary of Interior opposing the Bureau of Land Management’s overzealous wild horse round-up policy. Thousands of wild horses continue to be removed from their traditional range, and now many of them will be slated for slaughter. Write to: Secretary of the Interior

The government inspects your property to make sure you have proper facilities/room; and actually you don't own them for a year I think, because they make sure you are caring for them properly first, checking up on you. They even paid for the vet bills during this time, because one of them had an eye infection when she adopted it.
There are pictures of them in my images if interested.
Take care, and a good concern you have there.
I would encourage all horse lovers to take a moment to learn about the difficulties facing the wild horses:
