BLM Says First Wild Horse Adoption of 2012 A Success

Roughly 100 people from California, South Dakota and Colorado and throughout Wyoming came to the adoption, which featured curly horses. The event marked the reopening of the Rock Springs Wild Horse Holding Facility after being temporarily closed during the fall gather season. The adoption also featured a wild horse drawing contest, elementary school field trips, and preview day. More than 300 fourth grade students from Rock Springs, Green River, Eden, and Farson, Wyo. toured the facility and learned about veterinary care given to wild horses, freeze branding, different breeds of horses, history of wild horses, and why the BLM gathers wild horses.
