America's wild horses may disappear in our lifetime, and photographer Susan Goudge is documenting what could be their final chapter.

Susan Goudge is a retired school teacher who discovered wild horses by accident 10 years ago—and now she's witnessing their systematic removal from American landscapes. With no traditional equestrian background, she brings an urgent, outsider perspective to a crisis most people don't even know exists: government roundups that will put more wild horses in holding facilities than remain free by year's end.
