This website is owned and created
by Nancy Kerson, a private
citizen - I am not the BLM or anyother 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.

For information about the BLM
Wild Horse & Burro Program,
please call (866) 4MUSTANGS
or Click HERE

Please direct adoption questions
to the BLM, not to me.

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!

Debbie McCracken devoted considerable time & energy to monitoring & protecting this tiny herd. When foals started to show up with club feet, it was assumed that inbreeding was responsible. Debbie went to work to prove that in fact, this birth defect was caused by an imbalance of minerals in the area, not the genetics, and that corrective hoof trimming restored the foals to normal usefulness.

Tragically, Debbie died unexpectedly of a blood clot following surgery to replace a hip. Debbie was a wonderful friend of wild horses, and she is sadly missed.

 

Chicago Valley Herd Management Area

This small Southern California herd consists of 3 mares and one stallion.  Besides, the two I have adopted from this herd, Dawn Rystrom has one of the babies from there.  This herd is a combination of TB and QH's from some 1960's ranchers in Ash Meadows and possibly some Shoshone Indian Horses.  These horses are believed to have split from the Nevada Ash Meadows herd.  The Nevada Ash Meadows herd is zeroed out but previously had a palomino mustang in the Marine Color Guard.  Dawn Rystrom can tell you about the herd personality as it is very laid back and send you a picture of her baby.
