Secret Service Says Gunfire Reported Near White House Overnight

America was once home to millions of wild horses roaming the West. Today, only a fraction remains.

In this episode of Bay Area Innovators, host Steve Ispas sits down with William Simpson, founder of the Wild Horse Fire Brigade, who has spent years living in the wilderness of Northern California observing wild horse herds in their natural habitat.

Simpson shares his firsthand experiences studying these resilient animals, explaining how wild horses survive in rugged terrain, what makes them different from domestic horses, and why their populations have declined so dramatically.

The conversation also explores a controversial and fascinating idea: that wild horses may actually play a critical role in preventing catastrophic wildfires by naturally grazing vegetation that fuels fires.

From the history of horses in North America to the environmental challenges facing them today, this interview offers a unique perspective on wildlife conservation, land management, and the surprising ways nature may already hold solutions to some of our biggest environmental problems.
