Wild Horses of Alberta Society

Breathe deep. Look west. The wild horses are waiting.

At the Wild Horses of Alberta Society (WHOAS), we care for Alberta’s rescued wild horses—horses with spirit, history, and heart. Many come to us in need of gentling, healing, and a second chance. That’s where our volunteers come in.

Our mission is to protect and preserve Alberta’s wild horses through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption. Every day, our dedicated team works hands-on with the horses—feeding, cleaning, monitoring health, supporting training, and simply being a calm, reliable presence in their lives.

Our vision is a future where wild horses are treated with compassion and respect, both on the land and in human care.

As a WHOAS volunteer, you become part of their healing. You’ll learn the rhythms of the herd, gain skills in equine care, and experience the quiet connection that only comes from working closely with these incredible animals. Whether you’re mucking pens, filling water troughs, or brushing out a coat under the Alberta sky, your time and heart make a difference.
