CHALLIS, Idaho -- The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) officials at the Challis Field Office have announced that public viewing at the Challis Wild Horse Corrals will end Saturday, Nov. 16. The horses are being prepared for adoption or fertility control treatments. Viewing will re-commence in early Dec.
The Challis Wild Horse corrals have recently received a group of wild horses gathered from the Antelope Flat area southeast of Challis, within the wild horse Herd Management Area.
The horses will be cared for in the corrals until BLM officials determine whether they will be returned to the range or eventually offered for adoption or sale.
