The U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the Wyoming Honor Farm have scheduled a wild horse adoption for Aug. 30-31 in Riverton. This is the 25th year of a partnership between the BLM and the Honor Farm, a minimum-security correctional facility. The BLM provides wild horses rounded up from Wyoming's public lands and Honor Farm inmates train the horses to be gentler in preparation for adoption. The BLM says the program has helped place some 3,500 wild horses with owners. On Aug. 30, the Honor Farm will host a clinic to explain the gentling process and people will be able to view the latest horses offered for adoption. The horse auction is set for Aug. 31. About 30 halter- and saddle-started horses will be available.
