Each of the wild horses and burros available for adoption have been removed from overpopulated herds roaming Western public rangelands.
As part of BLM’s efforts to find every horse and burro a good home, they offer up to $1,000 to adopt an untrained animal. Learn more about the adoption incentive program at blm.gov/whb.
