BLM Rock Springs Wild Horse Adoption and School Field Trips Postponed

The Bureau of Land Management High Desert District is postponing this week’s scheduled Sweetwater County School District Number 1 and Number 2 fourth grade field trips, wild horse adoption and reopening of the Rock Springs Wild Horse Holding Facility in Rock Springs, Wyo. due to illness. Serena Baker tells us that approximately 30-40 percent of the weanling wild horses were diagnosed with Strangles during this morning’s routine veterinarian check-up prior to the adoption.






The BLM HDD is postponing the expanded adoption events to reduce the stress on the wild horses while they are sick. The school tours, preview day and wild horse adoption will be rescheduled for March 6-9.






Voting will close Friday, Feb. 1. Prizes will be awarded to the drawings receiving the highest number of votes at a ceremony on Tuesday, Feb. 5 at 4 p.m. at the BLM High Desert District Office for first, second, and third prize.
