Really beautiful video covering the Bureau of Land Management’s method of managing wild horses in Idaho. Very informative and, unlike their baffling agreements to allow wolf hunting, these horses are treated with love and care. Check it out! Well worth your time. Get edumakated!

The BLM Challis Field Office has released an informative video regarding the upcoming 2012 Challis Wild Horse gather. 

“We estimate there are about 322 wild horses roaming the Challis Herd Management Area (HMA) right now, which is 137 animals over our set appropriate management level of 185,” said Kevin Lloyd, Challis wild horse and burro specialist. “When the horse numbers reach these levels, we begin to see a decline in the health of the rangeland, so it becomes important to gather these horses so we can maintain the diversity of the vegetation, the health of the horse herd and multiple use.”
