2020-2022 Pokegama Wild Horse Gather
Purpose of Gather:
The objective of this gather is to capture and remove approximately 200 wild horses which have strayed onto private property within and adjacent to the Pokegama Herd Management Area (HMA). The Appropriate Management Level – the number of horses the range can sustainably support in conjunction with other animals and resource uses – for this area is 30 to 50 horses. The current population estimate for this herd is 230.
Details of Gather:
This gather's objective is removal of horses from private property within and adjacent to the Pokegama Herd Management Area.
Public Observation:
All gather activities and temporary holding facilities are on private land. There are no public viewing opportunities until horses arrive at Oregon’s Wild Horse Corral Facility in Hines
Adoption Information:
Animals removed from the range are transported to Oregon's Wild Horse Corral Facility in Hines to be prepared for adoption. For viewing, the public may visit the Corral Facility anytime between regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Federal holidays may fall during the regular work week. We recommend calling ahead to ensure the facility will be open during your visit.
Background:
Local residents of the Pokegama area recall seeing bands of wild horses in the area since the early 1900s. The herd currently ranges in color from bay to buckskin, sorrel, black and brown. In terms of size, horses average 14 to 15 hands and weigh 900 to 1,000 pounds.
The Pokegama herd is unique in being the only designated herd area in the Cascade Range. The herd area is located west of the city of Klamath Falls in an area defined by Highway 66 on the north, the Klamath River on the east and south, and Jenny Creek is the west boundary. The HMA lies primarily in Oregon but does include portions in California, north of the Klamath River.
