Coyote Canyon Heriatge Herd are decendants of San Diego's original horse herd and efforts are being made to re establish our heritage and place the horses back in the wild where they belong. Roger Hedgecock has been out to investigate and report on our horses and the series he's created can be seen at  http://www.utsandiego.com/video/play/52339/ or visit the Herd website for more information and photos at www.heritageherd.com and to see all three segmants of Roger Hedgecocks report.

This Heritage herd are icons of our unique local cultural evolution from Spanish occupation, Native American Ranching, and Pioneering western settlement. The last herd of Southern California wild horses were removed in 2003 by a management plan oversight....Rising above the Canyon, the Beauty Mountain ranges are subject to a Herd Area revision to provide the herd with permanent home. 

Only four stallions remain from of this herd and are being "fostered" in captivity by Coyote Canyon Caballos D'Anza (CCCDA) near Warner Springs. Our vision is to return them to their natural, free-roaming ranges and restore their genetic viability for future generations
