Wild Horse Management
Wild Horse Management refers to the practices and policies aimed at overseeing the populations of wild horses in various regions, particularly in the western United States. These horses are often descendants of domesticated horses that were released or escaped into the wild. Management efforts focus on maintaining a healthy balance between horse populations and the ecosystems they inhabit.
To achieve this balance, agencies like the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) implement strategies such as population monitoring, fertility control, and, when necessary, roundups. These methods help prevent overgrazing and ensure that both the horses and the land can thrive together.
