This is great news!!!
We're excited to announce we've signed five new partnership agreements with organizations in California, Oregon, Texas and Washington to support our efforts to train and place more wild horses and burros into good homes.
Forever Branded is our new nation-wide partner supporting efforts across the country to find more good homes for wild horses and burros. Its Branded Partnerships program will establish a network of equine trainers to train and gentle wild horses and burros for adoption. Branded Adoption Centers will be located across the country and provide adoption opportunities for local communities. Forever Branded will also host annual events to showcase the trainability of the animals and build a community of trainers willing to share best practices.
We're also partnering with Teens And Oregon Mustangs, Meeker Mustang Makeover, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Wild Horse Program and MYWY - Mustang Yearlings/Washington Youth to assist with education and outreach, training animals and placing wild horses and burros into private care in their local communities.
Together, these partnerships could help place approximately 11,000 additional wild horses and burros over and above the BLM’s existing adoption program, saving taxpayers approx. $160 million. We look forward to working with all of our new and existing partners to support our mission of managing healthy wild horses and burros on healthy public rangelands.
