This website is owned and created by Nancy Kerson, a private citizen - I am not the BLM or any other branch of government! Information about BLM adoptions is offered as a service, to help mustangs find homes and to promote public appreciation of wild horses and burros. And I sure as heck am not a Mustang car dealership! I have NO horses or burros for sale and am not interested in buying or listing or otherwise promoting your sale animals! This website: |

OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN
WILD HORSE GENTLING:
Back to GalleryCOLORADO WILD HORSE & BURRO HERD MANAGEMENT AREAS | |
Colorado currently has 4 Herd Management Areas: 1. Little Book Cliffs 2. Piceance-East Douglas Creek 3. Sand Wash Basin 4. Spring Creek Basin Plus 3 more identified Herd Areas "This removal never happened for two reasons. The BLM lacked the funding to conduct the gather and on August 5, 2009 District Judge Rosemary Collyer ruled against the removal of these horses after Dr. Don Moore, The Colorado Wild Horse and Burro Coalition, Inc. and the American Mustang and Burro Coalition, Inc. filed suit against the removal. Judge Collyer also ruled in her decision that the removal of the horses was beyond the authority of the BLM as stated in the Wild Horse Act." Thank you, George Roosevelt, Riders For The Brand Wild Horse Club

 Winston, a Colorado Mustang We recently adopted a 3 year old Mustang from the BLM area in Canon City, CO. The horse was saddle trained by one of the inmates at the co-located prison. The inmates showed off their horses to us and then I was able to ride the ones I was interested in. I selected Winston, a dark gray with some evidence(?) of Appaloosa in his face. | ||
Colorado has 4 Herd Management Areas and 3 Herd Areas that have either been zeroed out or are targeted for being zeroed out:  data from http://www.wildhorseandburro.blm.gov/statistics/2005/index.htm | ||
Hey there...my name is Amber, and this is my Mustang from Colorado. His name it Buddy-Lee. He is THE SWEETEST horse that I have EVER encountered. Hard to believe that he was captured in the wild. He's so calm, he's just standing there in an open field, no halter rope on or anything. I guess he's a little too busy with eating grass to go anywhere though...haha. ~Amber~ Dear Amber: Who do you think I am - BLM or something? Please see the disclaimer at the top left of each page. - Nancy

 | Kathleen Carrasco in Walkerton, IN adopted this Sand Wash, Colorado mare, Nikhita. Kathleen describes Nikhita as built like a QH, and very calm. She is four years old, stands about 14 h, and is a bay roan. She is just as sweet as can be, and was captured around nine months of age. | |
 I've recently adopted this colt from the Sand Wash. He is suppose to be 2yrs old. I'm hoping he will get around 15hh. Thanks Jeannette |
