Bureau of Land Management Launches Wild Horse and Burro Placement Blitz
Published Friday, July 17, 2026
Next week, the Bureau of Land Management will officially launch a nationwide wild horse and burro private care placement blitz. Since the early 1970s, BLM has found homes for nearly 300,000 wild horses and burros through various adoption and sale programs. The blitz will include three in-person events. The event nearest to California is in Clovis, New Mexico. An online gallery was also launched for horses and burros that will be available at certain pickup locations, including in California. BLM estimated there were more than 85,000 wild horses and burros in the U.S. as of early 2026. Additional information can be found here.
