Meet Snickers at the Upcoming Wild Horse Adoption
in Cheyenne, April 29-30
Snickers appears to be an average brown horse, but the freeze brand on his neck claims otherwise. Snickers was born a wild horse.

"Snickers is a great horse. What I want people to know is that wild horses can be trained to do anything that other horses can," said Wilson.
Snickers was adopted in 2003 from the Steve Mantle Training Facility. Wilson has ridden him in parades, competed with him in numerous competitions and takes him trail riding all over the country.

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs.
