This grant is for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) California’s Wild Horse and Burro Program, which operates two facilities to prepare wild equids from California, Nevada, and Arizona for adoption. The BLM-California provides essential support including feed and veterinary services for these animals. The primary purpose of this initiative is to enhance adoption rates and secure suitable private homes for wild horses and burros awaiting placement. By funding training efforts, this program addresses the public’s preference for trained animals, who are more valued and readily adopted. Furthermore, trained equids are sought after by various government agencies, including county mounted patrols and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, for their law enforcement programs. This reflects a successful strategy to rehome these magnificent animals.
