Wild Horse Tourism Stars on Bucket Lists

Wild Horses: Spirit of the West

Photographer Mark Terrell with Kim Matthews, Reno-Tahoe International Airport

Thousands of people rank "seeing wild horses running free" #1 on their Bucket Lists.

That's why Wild horse tourism has been envisioned by many who see it as a way to save the West's mustangs.    
Last year, when Nevada's wild horses were trucked to slaughter sales, Bonnie Matton of Wild Horse Preservation League grew tired of waiting.  
A former dude ranch owner, Matton knew the thrill-power of horses and her enthusiasm was contagious. 
Soon, Reno-Tahoe Airport's marketing coordinator, Kim Matthews was fired up with the idea of wild horses in the airport. Next, writers, artists and historians contributed ideas and Wild Horses: Spirit of the West was born.
The exhibit of words and art depicting Nevada's mustangs launched DepARTures, an oasis in one of the country's busiest airports.
