The Ely District Field Office includes the following Herd Management Areas, (numbered # 400 - 413 and #500 - 523)  | Kumi and his adopter, Pam Stoddard, winning Costume class at the Reno Wild Horse & Burro Expo in 2005. Kumi is from one of "The Diamonds" (Diamond Hills, Diamond Hills North, or Diamond Hills South) though I'm not sure which one. Kumi was adopted by Pam the day after the 2004 Expo, so that is pretty impressive progress! |

AML 423
 Buck & Bald HMA includes 4 parallel valleys, with mountain ranges bordering them: Long Valley, Ruby Valley, Huntington Valley, and Long Valley. The area is characterized by extremes of temperature (ranging from minus 30 in winter to 110 in summer) and low rainfall. The horses tend to be in the 14 - 15 hand size range, with a variety of colors, mainly the solid colors of bay, black, & red, with some buckskins, palominos, and sabinos. The horses are believed to be descended from Pony Express and Cavalry remounts, as well as local ranch stock. The Buck & Bald horses make excellent pack string horses and versatile ranch horses. Buck & Bald produces some Curly horses. |

AML 90
Audrey, is my colt's dam. She is currently residing at Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue in Lancaster, CA. She is approximately 12 years old and was brought in by the BLM from the White River HMA (NV 409) in February 2005, very pregnant with my colt, who was born at the Ridgecrest facility. They were both then transported to Lifesavers and I adopted him in August 2005. |
Audrey's colt, Spirit Dancer, is now 14 months old and thriving.
I hope to ride endurance with him when he matures. I am thrilled to have him as my equine partner, and would highly recommend mustangs to anyone who appreciates superb horses.
Thank you,
Barbara Edwards

| BEAU from DELAMARWe adopted "Beau" on July 22nd 2007. He is a beautiful bay gelding with 3 white socks and a white blaze. He is between 3 and 4 years old ( Vet says 3 - still has some baby teeth), BLM says 4. According to the data he was captured on Feb 27th 2006 from the Delamar area of Nevada. I am not sure where he was for this year and a half, but he was branded in Ridgecrest Calif, and I adopted him from Pillsbury Ranch ( Joan Embrey's place ) where they were holding the Mustang and Burro sale. His number is 03179590 Within 2 days I could take his lead rope off, though he still lives in his halter ( they said he was horrid to get it on ). He leads very well, with very few spooks and so we are able to turn him out in the round pen. Thru trial and error we discovered that the arena's fence is not high enough, as he sailed over it as pretty as can be, but we did catch him in under 2 minutes. Did I mention he LOVES carrots, lol. Although still unsure about being pet, Beau is very friendly. Easy to go in and clean his pen, though he does like to help and has dumped the wheelbarrow over 2 times. Anyway, Here are some photos of him to use on your site if you are still updating. I notice that there are not any photos of horses from his area. If you can use them, but need higher res, let me know which ones and I will send as attachment instead. First one is before he jumped over the fence ;) Thanks, Steph Doerr | NV516 Clover Mountains |  |  | Clover from Clover Mountain NV, a yearling filly adopted via the internet adoption by Courtney Ahlberg, Kane PA | | | | NV517 Clover Creek (Caliente) | | | | NV518 Applewhite | | NV519 Little Mountain | | NV520 Miller Flat
