The horses and burros are available on a first-come, first-serve basis to qualified adopters.
The adoption event begins March 13 at 8 a.m., although adoptions and sales will begin at 9 a.m., and run until 5 p.m. The next day the event will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
To adopt one of the horses or burros, you must be at least 18 years old, and meet a few other requirements like providing adequate facilities to house the animal, have no animal cruelty convictions and provide a stock or horse trailer. There is also a $25 adoption fee.
The BLM also offers an adoption incentive program, which offers up to $1,000 for adopting an eligible horse or burro.
More information on the adoption process and animal care is available on the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program website.
