This event will provide the public an opportunity to adopt about 70 available wild horses and burros. Bids start at just $125.
Adoptions from this event will be eligible for Forever Branded’s 2026 Missouri Branded Bonanza, a competition offering an opportunity for trainers to improve their horsemanship and for the animal to gain the skills needed to be successful in their new, domestic life. During this event, a clinic by Mustang Matt will be available to the public. Additional details to come.
“By adopting a wild horse or burro, you are helping to maintain healthy rangelands and ensuring that these animals have a sustainable future,” said Patrick Merrill, BLM Montana/Dakotas Wild Horse & Burro Coordinator.
