The release states that BLM offers up to $1,000 to adopt an untrained animal, as part of the program's efforts to find every horse and burro a good home. Animals offered at the event are adult and yearling horses along with burros that once roamed free on public lands in the West. BLM periodically removes excess animals from the range to maintain healthy herds and to protect other rangeland resources.
