September Wild Horse and Burro Adoption Events in Wyoming

The Bureau of Land Management’s Wyoming State Office has announced the September wild horse and burro adoption event that will be taking place at various locations across the Cowboy State.

The press release reads:

The Bureau of Land Management will hold five wild horse and burro adoptions in Wyoming this September. Untrained horses and burros will be offered to qualified adopters on a first-come, first-served basis for a $125 minimum fee (credit cards are the preferred payment method). Saddle and halter-started horses and burros may be adopted by competitive bid. Below are the scheduled adoption events for the month of September:

The Rock Springs Wild Horse Corral remains closed to the public due to construction of a new facility to better protect staff and animals from the elements. The corral will reopen as soon as the facility is finished.

Each of the wild horses and burros available for adoption have been removed from overpopulated herds roaming Western public rangelands. As part of our efforts to find every horse and burro a good home, the BLM offers up to $1,000 to adopt an untrained animal. This adoption incentive will be offered for all animals at these five events.
