Wild Horse Adoption Program Experiences

[@henrymccarty8077]

I adopted a beautiful chestnut 2 y.o. filly about 20 years ago, at Flagstaff Az. She had been caught in Nevada "area 51, Nellis bombing range ". I always told people Hannah was "bomb proof". Lol. I broke her and trained her and rode her all over those Arizona foothills. Even completed a 25 mile endurance race against some high dollar Arabians, and finished 3rd out of 30. Some of the best years of my life were with that horse.

Roanie is the one I would have fallen for first, what you do with these beautiful horses is incredible...

I just attended a BLM mustang adoption and I had two big bay geldings come up to me and start licking my hands in just a few minutes. If I were actually in a position to take on horses (Not yet...someday) then I'd have adopted both of them on the spot. They were both friendly, gentle, and enjoyed me scratching them all over including around their ears. And they call them "wild". Those two picked me. Too bad I couldn't take them. I would have if I had a place for them.

The BLM should try another incentive, by buying some land already zoned for homes and horses then developing an affordable community where you could live and gentle your own a Mustang. A tiny home suburb or even apartment complex with accommodations for the owners or renters to keep a horse and maybe even a program to educate people on gentling their animal (like the one the have in prison), I am sure there are a lot of people who don’t have the money or land to own a horse, but would even put the $1000 back into the project AND PAY the BLM an affordable rent and board to be able to partner with one of these magnificent animals.

If it's trained is it no longer considered wild?

I'm moving again Tucky pretty soon and I want to know what do I do or how do I go about adopting a few Mustangs and could I adopt a family of Mustangs cuz I heard they split them up so I was just want to do the stallion with his mirrors that's how I would like to adopt him and how would I go about doing that

[@erintubb9860]

Stallions are not adopted out. They are all gelded when removed from the range. There is a limit of I believe 4 horses that can be adopted by the same person at one time. Horses don't view family the same way we do. Young stallions are always pushed out of the herd. The band stallion often changes. The mares can be split up into different groups when the band stallion is replaced or dies. It is pretty rare for a horse to stay in the same family band for its entire life.

You take them from there mother

[@erintubb9860]

Same thing that happens with every single domestic animal. Young males are pushed out of the family group. Horses don't think about family the same way that we do.
