The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is responsible for managing wild horses and burros on public rangelands throughout the eleven western states.  

BLM routinely monitors the herds and removes animals when the begin to over populate their herd area.  These removals ensure the rangelands will remain healthy for the remaining wild horses and burros, native wildlife, and permitted livestock.

BLM holds satellite adoptions throughout the United States to find wild horses and burros a good home in the private sector through the Bureau's Adopt-A-Horse or Burro Program.

Both wild horses and wild burros are known for their sure-footedness, intelligence, strength, and endurance.  Wild horses have become champions in dressage, jumping, barrel racing, endurance riding, and pleasure riding, while burros excel in driving, packing, riding, guarding, and serving as companion animals.  Adopt a wild horse or burro and experience the magnificence of the living legends of the American West.
