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 25, November 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.
For more information and adoption/purchase qualifications, call the BLM at 1-866-4MUSTANGS (1-866-468-7826) or visit the Florence Off-Range Facility webpage.
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.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
