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.

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!

OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN
WILD HORSE GENTLING:

BLM HOLDING FACILITIES

See my photos from

Going directly to a large holding facility is a great way to adopt, especially if you have something particular in  mind, or don't want to wait for a weekend adoption to come to an area near you.

If you live too far away to go to one in person, most of them now participate in the BLM's regular Internet Adoption

For more information, check with the BLM National Website There are currently facilities in Arizona, California Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, & Wyoming.

National Wild Horse and Burro Center at Palomino Valley
Entire Month of April: Ten halter-trained Mustangs (ages 1-3) offered for adoption on a first-come, first-served basis. You may also adopt a wild Mustang (ages 2-4) and enter a drawing for the wild horse to be trained at the Northern NV Correctional Center at no cost. Special adoption and drawing ends on April 30, 2009.

Special adoption of 25 head of Mustangs ("Color Freaks" take notice!)
Winnemucca, NV - May 8-10, 2009 (Photo Gallery)

Note: This link includes several pages pages of horses. Don't stop at the first page.

If you are from out of state, there will be a short (10 days to 2 weeks usually) waiting period after you adopt before you can take your new horse or burro home. This is due to brand inspection and Coggins test requirements for bringing a horse or burro across state lines. Internet Adoption horses and horses at special adoption events and travelling adoptions are ready to go - all paperwork and tests completed.

Be sure to call to make an adoption appointment.
