Meet RTF’s newest ambassador: Olympian Lila Lapanja!

/ Ambassadors, In The News, News

We’re thrilled to introduce our newest ambassador for wild horses, Olympic skier Lila Lapanja!

Like so many advocates for wild horses, Lila grew up a fan of the DreamWorks Animation film “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.” We recently had the pleasure of introducing her to the animators’ muse and model for her childhood hero, Spirit himself.
Lila is also a resident of Nevada, home to about half of all the wild horses and burros living on public lands overseen by the federal Bureau of Land Management.
A quick note: Lila’s visit took place before Spirit’s recent health concerns. He’s been on the mend. For updates on how he’s doing, see our Instagram or Facebook page.
