Horse burgers and burro burros, baby.
Horseys are livestock.
Interesting.
But I have little knowledge of the subject and no background. This starts rather in the middle of the issue and some background info would be appreciated.
There is a very simple solution. And it is not new. Let people capture them and keep them for free.
Free horses. But you have to come capture the wild animals like they had to do in the old days.
—I’ve seen the horse collection north of Sparks,Nevada.
—they are about the sorriest collectioin of nags ever beheld-—shipping them to France for consumption is far better than wasting tax money on them-—
Let people capture them
Thats a tv show I’d watch.

Don’t get a hobby that eats.
I have seen wild horses in/near the Bighorn Canyon, National Recreation Area, in Wyoming, and Montana.
After Nevada it is the 2nd biggest collection of wild horses.
They used to bring 100 of them to San Diego and sell them to the public. I bought a young Black yearling for my daughter on her birthday. She was wild for a couple months and then my daughter at age 10 started riding her. She was a awesome horse.
The bleeding heart Save The Horsies people brought a lot of suffering to those horses.
Think the article means "competition" - but, in any event, no. Just . . . no.
Person sees one pic of a horse rearing up to clear some knee-high wispy grass, and thinks that that horse is going to be able to carry a rider over 4' - 4'6" solid walls, oxers, and combinations against the clock?
Nope.
Even the BLM horses that are NOT sickly inbreds are mostly stock type, very short-backed, close-coupled and short-legged, with short necks and heavy heads. They can no more negotiate even a Novice level jumping course than fly to the moon.
Might be good on barrels, though.
I’ve seen horses in the same area. It was pretty amazing to see. The kids, especially, were amazed. They were running in a herd and kicking up dust just like the movies.
where can you go in sparks to see these horses?....we go thru Nevada once a year and would love to see them.
They can not give them away.
Thanks for point out the typo. Not a lot of time to do this article, but yes, these horses are not going to win the puissance but stuffing them into a truck to Mexico with broken legs and killed by a knife to the back of the head which paralizes then and the cutting them up alive is not worth the U.S. budget savings. Find the money elsewhere like not spending $500,000 to find out if a student drinks more beer in a fraternity than one who is not in a fraternity. If you went to college you don’t need a one-half million dollar study.
Yes, most people would agree with that, but have you ever owned a competition horse?

Great idea, maybe someone who is retired has the time to help me with this article.
God Bless you
There was one of those wild horse training challenges in Fort Worth recently, I know someone who went. He said the horses came back from the professional trainers so completely trained that some of them were doing tricks. They rode like competition reiners. Then they auctioned them off. My friend said most of those well trained horses sold for around $200. Doesn’t appear that horse people want those tiny little mustangs, even though they were pretty. (I only saw pictures and video). They aren’t much bigger than large ponies.
