ELM CREEK, NEB. – The Bureau of Land Management will host two wild horse adoption events, July 19 and August 16, at the Elm Creek Wild Horse and Burro Corrals in Elm Creek, Neb.

Up to 30 untrained wild horses from the Wheatland Off-Range Corral will be available first come, first served for adoption or sale. Both events will begin at 8 a.m. and end at noon.

The Elm Creek Corral is located at 5050 100th Rd. in Elm Creek, Neb. For more information about the corrals, including driving directions, see https://www.blm.gov/programs/wild-horse-and-burro/adoptions-and-sales/adoption-centers/elm-creek-wild-horse-and-burro-corrals.
