Everybody wants to say he’s going to feed us horse (whatever, just label it properly), but the answer is probably much simpler: He got a bribe from Argentina to allow beef into the US that China rejected.

One problem--any herds that have had any treatment with contraceptive aren't approved for human consumption.

That doesn’t really seem to be a problem for this administration- bypassing food safety guidelines.

I mean, given enough time in office he will find everyone's sacred issue and violate it. It's truly inevitable. For many of us, that's enough to provide some hope.

Buddy of mine adopted Hawk for $25 almost 30 years ago. One of the best mountain horses I've been around. His only regret was not adopting a couple more at the time. I'm sure proper training had a lot to do with how he turned out, though. Hoping he'll be packing out another elk for me this Fall.

The same was true for my dad; he had his horse for more than 15 years, and she was an excellent mountain horse.

Doesn't say in the article but that's a lot of horses. What do they do with them?

Probably sell them

Probably sell them

put into holding pens, some could actually be released in other HMA's if there is a particularly well put together horse they will occasionally release them elsewhere for genetic diversity.

But the holding pen ones are slated to be sold/adopted.

My wife and I both ride BLM mustangs that were rounded up in Nevada, we didn't do any of the training but they're pretty versatile horses. lots of people show them from ranch/western disciplines up through the fancy English jumping disciplines.

its funny the majority of the mustang owners who use them for more than a means to pat themselves on the back would agree that the herds need to be reduced and managed, its the non-horse people or those that haven't touched a mustang that think they need to be left in the wild unchecked
