WHB Internet System - ATTN: Adopt-A-Horse Users!

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is excited to launch a new “Wild Horse and Burro Online Corral” system in the near future, allowing prospective adopters or purchasers greater access to America’s wild horses and burros and providing improved customer service to the public.

The Online Corral will sport a more streamlined look and feel, while offering a host of new features and abilities to the users, including new filtering options to make it easier to find your desired animal, as well as a new online application process.

The first event on the new site is tentatively scheduled to occur in April 2018, but applications to adopt or purchase a wild horse or burro may be accepted any time after the site has launched. The BLM encourages all prospective wild horse or burro owners to check back in the coming months in order to submit applications in advance of the first event.

The April Internet Adoption/Sale Starts late April

The April Internet Adoption/Sale will start late April on the new Online Corral site. Web address will be posted, as soon as available for use. New gallery photos will be posted as soon as available. Bidding is anticipated to start on/about April 30.

Animals in the gallery will be from TBD.

Optional Eastern pick ups are Ewing, IL (by appt); Waterloo, IA (June 15).

The applications from this current site can't be transferred over to the new site. You still have some time to print out your online application, for use when you create your account and enter your application on the new site. There will be the ability to enter both an adoption and a sale application.
