About the Corrals
The Bruneau Off-Range Wild Horse Corrals are privately owned and operated and currently provide care for just over 1,100 wild horses. The 80-acre facility contains 39 large holding pens, each measuring 70,000 square feet and capable of safely holding approximately 30 - 80 horses.
The horses receive an abundance of feed tailored to their needs each day, along with a constant supply of fresh water through automatic watering troughs. Free choice mineral block supplements are also provided to the animals and a veterinarian routinely inspect them and provides medical care as needed. Additionally, the BLM strives to place horses removed from the range into good private homes. Animals at the Bruneau facility are routinely offered for adoption or purchase throughout the year at off-site adoption or Online Corral adoption events.
So far in 2026, over 1,000 wild horses from the Bruneau Off-Range Corrals were offered for adoption and sale with over 600 being placed into private care, saving the American taxpayer over $7.5 million in caring costs for the animal’s lifetime.
The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
