In June of 2008, AJ Michalka (of Aly & AJ) came to visit Return to Freedom and Neda DeMayo. Being a horsewoman herself, AJ felt that this was the perfect organization for her to work with on behalf of wild horses.
The multi-talented musician-singer/songwriter and actress says, "It’s an honor to use my voice to help bring awareness to the young community about America’s wild horses. People need to understand that the survival of ALL wildlife is threatened worldwide. "

AJ understands the importance of Return to Freedom’s mission. She is dedicated to helping RTF by asking America’s youth to join her in supporting one of our nation’s treasured native wildlife species, preserving what is left of their natural habitat, and our open spaces.
"The ancestors of the horses we enjoy today were once wild. The wild horses that still exist today are descendents from our nation's past. To lose them would be a tragedy. They have given us so much and now they need our help."
