The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in partnership with the University of Idaho Extension 4-H program, will offer three wild horse weanlings for adoption during the Idaho Horse Expo April 4 - 6. These horses have been handled by 4-H youth, and their training progress will be showcased during a trail challenge where they navigate course obstacles. The challenge will occur on March 29 at the BLM Boise Off-Range Wild Horse Corrals just off Pleasant Valley Road beginning at 10 a.m.

The young wild horses will be available for public viewing April 4 - 6, during the Idaho Horse Expo at the Ford Idaho Horse Park in Nampa. The dedicated efforts of 4-H club members will come to fruition during an exciting competitive bid adoption event, scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday, April 6.
