- The government is taking a unique approach to control the record-breaking population of wild horses. There are an estimated 88,000 of them across the country. The American icons are protected by a law passed by Congress in 1971. Now there is a new effort to help them find a home. Nikki Battiste reports.

My wife and I adopted two 1 year female (filly's) mustangs last year. I'm 71 and never had a horse before, but I volunteer at a local rescue barn and learned a lot there. I built two run ins, and installed an 800' 5' high fence around our small field. They are doing very well, just enough grass to graze and very easy keepers. Wish more people would help these wonderful animals out.
I assume your horses get regular vet checks and are doing well, but it's very dangerous to make it seem like such a small space is enough, nutritionally, for horses. This simply isn't true. Horses that can't graze in the wild need to have a supplemented diet (which I'm sure you're doing); people might get the wrong idea from your post that you can just throw some horses onto a grassy area and they'll be fine.
@@bearswithglasses Yes, my horses get regular vet checks, shots, farrier care and my facility was just inspected by a local county extension agent who signed off on their well being. I will receive my ownership papers from the BLM shortly after my year of being their caretaker. Of course my horses get feed morning and evening with 1st cut hay, plus they receive "Mare and Foal" vitamin supplement morning and night. They each have a 12x12 run in with a 30x30 corral. The paddock is 2 acres and they have free range to that when not being worked with (training/farrier/vet) What they don't do is spend 12-16 hours a day cooped up in a 12x12 stall staring at the wall. Mine have complete freedom to graze, run, roll in mud or do what ever else they want 24/7. My biggest problem I had so far is the negativity I received from domestic horse owners, those same folks who keep their horses in stalls most of their lives. I have an excellent mentor and with her help, owning mustangs as a new to horses person has been pretty easy imo..
I didn't assume they only grazed. You sound like wonderful folks!
We are buying land in texas after we pay off our 2 houses in a year n half and plan on adopting up to 4 which is the limit as well.
We also will be going to rescue at least 2 calfs from a local dairy farmer since they have no use for males and let them have a good life (not for food) and not be disposed of as well.
That's my retirement plan. Help those that can not help themselves.
That is awesome! Hoping we can do the same soon. 🐎💓
🙏💓
They all deserve a home, and obviously they are gonna be aggressive if they were just wild and they we’re basically kidnapped, and to think that some of them are killed makes me feel sick! I hope these sweet horses get the home they deserve!
Not one word about public-lands ranching! The land can support way more than 27,000 wild horses but not if your goal is to fill it with as many fee-paying animals as possible (mostly cattle and sheep).
😂😂 that’s not why at all. These horses cause lots of problems. And cattle grazing public lands is fine. It’s no different than millions of bison 🤣
I see so all the cattle can graze but not horses
The thing is, so many people see that and get one, then they can't train it and it ends up aggressive and untrained. And there's so much misinformation that makes it seem like you can just jump on a wild horse and everything will be alright, but that's really not how it works.
If you buy a mustang because of the incentive, you're in for a real treat when you realize how much it costs for food, shelter, tack, vet, and other supplies. I would happily adopt a mustang, regardless of whether there was an incentive or not, cause it only makes a teeny tiny difference
Horses are beautiful animals. I hope they do find loving and good homes.
I wouldn't mind I have plenty of land. If I can save 1 from being killed or in some cases eaten I would save a few from any harm . These are all Gods creatures🌻🐎🌳🐛🌻🐞🌳🐝
Then don't let them suffer and starve to death. They are meant to be domesticated and are better off being managed by humans. Overpopulation creates problems. Feral horses shouldn't exist in my opinion. Neither should feral cats or dogs, they should all have homes.
@@rs72098 I've been exposed to ferel cats my whole life, and feral dogs in my current life (Thailand and China): they do just fine without you “saving” them. Up until about 100 years ago NO ONE kept dogs or cats in their home, my grandma would have thought you insane, now all the sudden “the poor animals are suffering”. No one goes out and “rescues” deer or coyotes, BECAUSE THAT'S IDIOTIC. Also, why is it better to cut out their sex organs than to let them live naturally?
I like how they leave the part about farmers putting their private livestock on the public land for the horses 🤦🏿♂️ leaving out the info why they are rounding them up
No it’s because they are growing way to fast 😂😂
As a Canadian I'd adopt one in a second (and a couple donkeys too!) But they won't let us. It's really upsetting to see them in holding pens when there's good homes north of the boarder that are inaccessible.
No,no,no. I will not abuse this gift. I'd ❤ to have one so much! I'd ❤ a companion like no other.
I came to this video because I saw a video about Hertz Car Rental going into Bankruptcy. People started talking about taxi sharing and ride sharing services in the future. Then someone said that they were thinking about getting a horse for transportation.
Now I have a farm in Puerto Rico with lots of land and a river flowing through the Middle of my farm. It's fenced off with wrought iron and concrete walls that are twelve feet tall. In Puerto Rico it is perfectly legal to ride a horse in the streets and roads.
But I have been having trouble contacting The United States Bureau of Land Management for information about adopting a horse.
It's not about the money, which I have plenty of. I would love to adopt a few horses since I have already adopted a couple of dogs.
they should have all the info on their website
Just wait and see how much you'll pay for the upkeep and taking care of the horses. That $1,000 would be used for the horse, and none in your pocket.
True, but horses are smart & amazing animals! ❤🐎
Median cost to keep a horse is about 2.4K a year
Most people know this. It simply helps to offset the first vet bill! Animals are expensive when taken care of properly! I would do this just to watch a horse in my pasture! They are beautiful creatures!
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away...
@@scottishamerican3900 A strong healthy horse doesn't cost that much: my sister has a thoroughbred that came with medical issues and in need of training and barely cost the money you're talking about.
If they hadn't completely destroyed the wolf population in Utah and the rest of the US, this wouldn't be as big of an issue. Adopting out wild horses isn't the answer, returning apex predators to their natural habitat is. The population will be back to or exceed 88,000 next year, and it's not sustainable to simply adopt out hundreds of thousands of horses- where are we going to put them? Moving wild horses into someone's backyard just creates a void in the wild that more horses can fill the following year, and you can only fit so many horses into someone's paddocks. Moving the 61,000 horses around the country doesn't fix anything.
Wow...didn't think of that. Great intellect.
@ihategoogle You're right, they're not native- but they were set free by the Conquistadors upon completion of their exploration.
They were never native to the U.S., which negates any reason for Apex predators. I don't think wolves would chase after horses anyways. Needless to say there should be no Feral horses, all horses should be domesticated. Having them be feral was ignorance on the highest levels. It's needless suffering and pain of horses just so a very small number of people could watch them in the wild.
@@rs72098 All horses should be domesticated? So you believe that we should inter on Nature when it doesn't need us there? Look, I'm not an environmentalist, but I think it's a bit obtuse to make an observation like that, knowing full well horses were wild before they were tamed by the GokTurks, and then passed across the Eurasian continent, into Europe, into Great Britain, etc, etc. Horses are just like cattle, in that regard. They are so widespread and prevalent, that they and nature are now one in the same.
@@mokomothman5713 It doesn't make sense to have them running wild in the U.S. when they aren't even native. Loss of the feral horse population would just return the land to it's normal ecosystem. Animals go extinct all the time, and the effects on ecosystems are not as pronounced as many people think.
When I think of all the people who have no buisness owning a horse ending up with one of these beautiful creatures.
If they fail to care for them, BLM has humane society remove them.
I don't think overpopulation is the problem. Counting and controlling populations is the real issue here. They want every animal tagged and accounted for.
i would like to adopt all 50,000 right now
We all would!!!
It costs so much more than $1,000 in time and money tho
Lindsey Nataliah everyone knows that
Lindsey Nataliah you’re so fine ☺️☺️
ironically you spend more on your car in a year, than owning a horse in three (if it doesn't become sickly often and need lots of vet trips)
Hi Hello this is for people looking for a horse not for people wanting the money, if u want a horse then u have to make sure u can take care of it, that $1000 is really gunna help but obviously ur gunna spend more, it’s better than buying a $7,000 horse
😊Y'all better get them horses we're going to need them in the future you see new cars getting crappier and crappier and people are buying up all the old ones. 🙃
the origins of horses started approximately 4 million years ago in North America, where they then migrated between continents (presumably by crossing the Bering land bridge) and later returned to North America with many different Equus species. the last known prehistoric native North American horses died out between 11,000 and 13,000 years ago, but the domesticated horse is believed to not have shown up at any one place or time, but rather were bred from multiple wild species. some of these sub species that originated from North America have been found in modern horses today. yes we all know that the horses here today were brought over with the Spanish conquest and escaped domesticated horses spread throughout the great plains, but they quickly returned to their ancient behavioral patterns when returning to the wild. all this said, technically, these horses are a re-introduced native species, not a feral, exotic, invasive species. just wrote this to clear up some arguments I've seen in the comment section.
you want to help a wild horse? keep it wild
Great thought!
A wild horse can be a handful to take care of. Could you re-introduce them to a new habitat? Could you move them to Western Canada? Lots of open space there
And also freezing temperatures. Why not just domestic them since they were never meant to be wild animals when they were brought over from Spain. They're not native to U.S. ecosystems.
I Would Love To Pick One Out For Myself
definitely would love to do this when I get land, that's the main problem with this life with horses. Land is so expensive nowadays. I would love to work with one for me for horseback.
Many Mustangs headed to Europe also. Canada too.
I think The incentive programs are a good start. Another great incentive for those who do not own pastures or stables would be some sort of funding to help cover the cost of putting a horse in a stable. There are hundreds and thousands of people out there who would love to own and help these mustangs but simply do not have a large pasture or farm environment to home with them. Just food for thought…
I wish I could have a big ranch to have them . People don’t know that horses are therapeutics for many mental and emotional disorders.
If i could ride it in the city then yea...
In DC it counts as a form of transportation, so you CAN potentially ride it on a road, but you need to have a drivers license or a permit :)
It was a terrible idea for the government to do this. A lot of non-horse people did this for the money. They would buy a horse receive the money for it then send it to slaughter. Some of the more responsible people actually kept the horse and treated it as family.
Can you still do this? Im looking to adopt and am willing to train a mustang, I just dont know where to look
I just texted an incredible piece of information, and they took it down. Are we still free in America??
This video just made me want a horse
Honestly Wolves might be the answer to contain them. Wolves played a key role in Yellowstone w the Deeer population
It's tough to take care.
If I was rich I would take them all they will be all safe to live out there life’s with me!
take some people in too,
No body is adopting these horses for a grand. It costs around 3 to take care of one for a year.
AND YOU TOOK OLD TOWN ROAD OFF COUNTRY BILLBOARDS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where can we adopt one? I’m looking to adopt and help, I don’t wanna bid.
Taylor obviously I’m not gunna put a horse in my living room 🤦♀️ my dad lives on a farm and next year I’m gunna go to America to study there so I’m gunna stay with him and he has a horse and said that when I come i can get one but I have to take classes first
I want a horse but im on ssi what can be done for me to be able to have a place to take care of one?
That little girl was me when I was 11 years old
Where can I adopt two
No, lol.
I have some property in Kentucky I would love to adopt some of these horses how would I go about adopting some Mustangs could you please tell me how the government could help me adopt some they're beautiful Majestic there are history
How do I take 1 ? I live in Brighton and co own a horse in Rottingdean so can take another x
No, lol.
I went a wild horse so much
What is the address here?
I am from India, can I adopt these horses?
Take it u paying shipping though
@@orangecookie3132 Um, that's not the issue. The issue is that, you know, they will die before they leave the country, lol.
Leave the horses alone, the murders of the original north American horses was bad enough.
I wish we could have horses in Brooklyn
I would be down to take some in, but my mother would flip over it. as we raise goats she flips over them too, even though we aren't making money from this bit of wastefulness from feeding them and a dozen over-breeding cats. :/ really a bummer.
BLM make the rules and regulations to adopt so difficult not to mention the adoption fees so alot of people go elsewhere to get a mustang or other horse.
Women: only 1,000 dollars
Me: HOLD UP, WHERE DID YOU GO? Google do be selling me horses over the price of 7,000
What’s the point of freedom when you gotta round it up?
Plus that's way to much money to buy a wild horse...
OMG yes yes yes I am working on getting some land, I want 2 of them, do they deliver them?
Everything Zombie, By Teresa Young there's several transportation forums
I’ll take two!
No, lol.
Ok they will pay me 1000 dollars to adopt and horse I will still have to pay 1 500 dollar and another 500 later? When does the government pay me the 1000 dollars to take the horse in
$500 up front (which might cover the vet's fee you'll have immediately) plus farrier later plus shelter, fencing, feed, hay, grooming , perhaps a round pen if you plan on being able to train the wild horse, and the other $500 at the end of a SATISFACTORY CARETAKER YEAR! Which you will NEED by then! lol Horses are kept by people who LOVE horses and give them LOTS of care!
Why no link to BLM site that handles this issue... for future investigations?
wish I could but I live Trinidad
Can we get some off them for Jamaica
No, lol.
Where should i go to adopt a horse. Infact i want 2 or 3 horses. Location plz or phone #.
It's not true,there are lots of harmful humans two,but no one controls them,now these beautiful beauty horses must leave their home and be with humans?it's not humanity!!!
freedom is right of all animals.
There are plenty of people who are willing to adopt the mustangs. However it is the B.L.M ridiculous rules to adopt one that stops people from adopting. Mainly the height and type of fencing required.
Applicant must have a facility that meets:
• Minimum of 400 sq. feet of corral space per animal,
i.e. 20’ X 20’ (untrained animals)
• Minimum of 144 sq. feet per animal, 12’ X 12’
(trained animals that are exercised daily)
• Suitable materials: pipe panels, wood post,
planks (min. 1.5” thick), horse fence ( V Mesh or
2” X 4” square)
• 5’ High for yearling or gentled horse of any age
• 6’ High for an ungentled horse two years or older
• 4.5’ High for a burro of any age
• Shelter that meets the minimum requirements
chart for wild horses and burros based on the
state or region in which the animal resides, unless
otherwise stipulated by the authorized officer
Your going to need that $1000 to by a 6' 12 x 12 enclosure. Because according to the BLM wild mustangs jump higher than any horse. This is utter nonsense 🙄mustangs are not very tall it is the height of the horse that determines how high it can jump. This is why you don't see mustangs used for jumping.
I own an acre of fenced-in land with a 3 sided barn so plenty of room and shelter.
I was told however that I would have to replace my entire existing fence wich worked fine for keeping my other 2 horses in. With a 6ft fence using the type of fencing useally used for round pens. $ 100 6x6 panel.
The B.L.M would rather send hundreds of wild horses of to Canada or Mexico for slaughter then work with people willing to adopt a mustang or even several.
I have no horses right now so would have room for 4 mustangs they would have a quarter of an acre each. But the fence is just not good enough.
I live in Utah and every year we have several roundups, the way the B.L.M. does these roundups is shameful 😕 and extremely stressful for the horses who get chased into round pens or holding pens with low flying helicopters being a prey animal the horses are running for their lives. Many get injured babies get separated from their mothers, mares from fear have miscarriages while running for their life. Only to run into a holding pen so overcrowded the horses trample each other to death.
That is how much the B.L.M. cares about the wild mustangs.
In the meantime I can offer a good home, but my fence is not high.
Any horse can jump any fence less than 6' tall & run through any thing less than plank boards 2" thick, pipe or steel 1/4 acre will only feed a horse for 1 month at the most then you will need to buy feed for the rest of the horses life Hay cost is now around $120. $200. per ton. 1 ton of hay might feed a horse for 30-40 days. some of the places the so called wild horses are at it takes over 640 ACRES to feed each horse for 1 year. then there is Water which they need to survive 20 gallon each Day.
@@ramondfox6327 yes I have owned horses and know what their needs are.
🤣 one of the top Olympic jumping horses was a 14.2 hand pony. 🤦♀️ Many mustangs are 15 hands, some are 16+. They can easily clear a 5 foot fence, I've even seen them clear 6 feet. You have absolutely no clue about horses in general, and mustang's in particular. Just stop trying to sound like some kind of "expert", because you aren't.
I'm willing to stay stress-free Ardmore what my property could handle I don't care it's about cells and bugs but it would help with the bills and help rescue more and hopefully I can dump them out you said I'm not really worried about the money because I'm going to find these auctions from 25 + however much they cost
Freedom? We are salves to each country.
I would love to adopt a horse but I would like it to be 16.5 hs to 17hs....
They are usually not that tall....
That's spirit's herd xd
The wild mustang! Symbol of the free and open west! Would it really cost so much, to have hundred or 200 acre ranch, and a small herd just running wild and free? 🐎🐎🐎🐎
A 200 acre ranch will at the most only support 6-8 wild horses without feeding the. In some parts of the country 200 acres won't even feed 1 wild horse for 1 year
I want to adopt several of them..
Please get in contact with me...
Just go to Vegas 😭, it’s like thousands of them In different herds… but be careful
30bill left & killing more 🐎 ! That man said he watch them die. Over eat on what land ?
If they can ship it to Philippines i'd take two
I wouldn’t mind getting a mustang so i could finally ride without any payments
Slaughter buyers will make big profit.
Do they realize that 1000 dollars won’t feed that horse 🐎 for long no one in there right mind would get one
Slaughtering horses is illegal in the USA. Slaughterhouses are closed.
They're sent to Canada and Mexico for slaughter.
Good very good, but still they need to stop the Mexican slaughter traffic.
Stop letting the cattle ranchers take the land from the horses.
Many people would love to have a horse. So why doesn't the government just let them have them.just teach them how to take care of them
Like to adopt one
No, lol.
Catch and shipped to Asia we wanted this nepal and india
sanaol
The federal government wants to take everybody out from those lands even the ranchers .
Where do j go
imagine being free one second then forced to be ridden for life
just like slavery
Not helping
i want a horse
I would loves them lots. :]
I rather have a real mustang, than my car.
MuchLoveLoves ❤LoveChick ✔ NTHANKYOU! ✔
85% of US land has none of these wild mustangs roaming free. How is this an overpopulation issue? Seeing these beautiful creatures being rounded up like that is one of the saddest things to witness. Let them roam free. Man playing God is the problem here they are devastating ecosystems with infrastructure plans that do not take into account that we need nature, nature doesn't need us. Showing videos like this is the candy coated version of what is really happening. Yes, I'm sure kind hearted decent people are adopting these wild mustangs but the majority of the adoptions go to people just in it for the money and these horses are unkempt and locked up like prison inmates only to be uthenized after they get their money. It's inhumane and a very sad analogy for the world we live in today.
Humans are the reason these horses are here, so humans are responsible for the management of them. Simple as that.
That land could probably handle more if you introduce more wolf packs. What a bunch of bs
Aren't horses native to north America so why they in west America
The government is so dumb but still ik you need to train and brake a horse....
Wheres my $1000
They are a huge nuisance now because of the size and grazing . Telling the government you have a horse has its issues as well considering you are now liable if it runs away
Lol she told us why she rode side saddle. So wearing white and side saddle is all a lie lol.
Time to open up a hunting season
I wish people would pay me to be with a beautiful blonde woman.
In your dreams!
Why trump is saying the country is full, all this land needs to occupy.
Shame on you if you truly knew horses they where not ment to jump cumpeat , or for show , a horse if you truly respeck them , no mouth metal be ts , pain , if you need to cause pain then you don't need a horse' learn their language , learn what they are , not what you want them to be ,
Sorry not sorry but don't care for the personal touch at the end about the journalist ...... give me more info on the wild horses etc.... journalism is dying.
BLM?
Bureau of land management
Demoncrats are LOSERS!!!! Born LOSERS!!!
