ELKO, Nev. - The Bureau of Land Management, Elko District Office has concluded the Antelope Valley Herd Management Area (HMA) Emergency Wild Horse Gather. The BLM gathered and removed 265 excess wild horses from public land in the Antelope Valley HMA in eastern Nevada.
The BLM transported wild horses removed from the range to the Indian Lakes Off-Range Wild Horse and Burro Corral in Fallon, Nev. to be readied for the BLM’s wild horse and burro adoption program. Un-adopted wild horses will be placed in long-term pastures where they will be humanely cared for and retain their “wild" status and protection under the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act.
The Antelope Valley HMA Wild Horse Gather began on July 23, and concluded on July 31.
