Event Description

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking good homes for wild horses and burros during three adoption events planned at BLM’s Florence Off-Range Facility, in Florence, Ariz. The BLM will be offering untrained wild horses and burros from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Fridays October 25November 8, and November 15.

Those interested in a horse or burro being offered at this event can apply online prior to the event through the Online Corral. To qualify, you must be 18 years of age, have approved facilities to keep the animal(s), and proper transportation home for the animal(s) from the event site. BLM staff will load each animal, with the new owner’s own halter and lead rope, into a BLM-approved trailer provided by the adopter.

The BLM offers wild horses and burros gathered from public lands in the west to qualified individuals who must demonstrate humane care for the animal. Wild horses are known for their sure-footedness, strength, intelligence, and endurance. With kindness and patience, these animals can be trained for many uses. All animals available have been examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, de-wormed, and have a current negative Coggins test.
