Pursued by a helicopter, they ran into a corral — and into the center of the emotional debate over whether euthanasia should be used to thin a captive herd that already numbers 30,000.

On Thursday, November 6th, Wild Horses 4 Ever and Anderson Dairy announced the launch of an important, new campaign to increase awareness of America's wild horse and burro populations and to urge the public's involvement in adopting these magnificent animals.

Beginning November 9th, the adoption of wild horses and burros will be featured on milk carton ads distributed to over 700 outlets in southern Nevada. 

"We cannot thank Anderson Dairy, Channel 8 and the BLM enough for their work to preserve Nevada's wild horse and burro populations. said Jerry Reynoldson, president of Wild Horses 4 Ever, a Nevada organization dedicated to preserving Nevada's western heritage by promoting the adoption of Wild Horses and Burros in the state."

As a preventive measure to safeguard the public from potential health risks, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) today implemented a temporary closure of the Palomino Valley Center (PVC) regional adoption facility, located 20 miles north of Sparks.

The risks resulted from health problems developed by wild horses recently gathered from the Jackson Mountains Herd Management Area (HMA) in early September. Approximately 1,000 horses were gathered. Many of the animals were very thin, in poor physical condition, and weak due to a lack of forage and water resulting from extended drought conditions. For these reasons the animals are having difficulty adjusting to feed in their new environment.

Reno, Nev.—A professional cutting horse trainer from Texas took first place in the inaugural Extreme Mustang Makeover event that showcased 100 Nevada mustangs and 100 horse trainers from around the nation with 100 days to demonstrate their ability to transform wild mustangs into horses suitable for ranch work or recreational riding.

Horse lovers will find Saturday, October 13, can be their special day to adopt a four-legged friend for life. Fifteen saddle-trained horses from the ranges of Nevada will graduate from months of intensive training starting at 10:00 a.m. that day, and all are looking for good homes.

Twelve horses from lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and three horses under the jurisdiction of the State of Nevada will be offered for adoption at the Warm Springs Correctional Center (WSCC), Carson City. The gates open at 9:00 a.m., and a competitive bid adoption conducted by an auctioneer begins at 10:00 a.m. Come join the fun!

Las Vegas—In celebration of our Nation’s Independence, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is holding a special adoption event June 22-24 at Horseman’s Park in Las Vegas. For this event, BLM will provide free delivery within 100 miles of Horseman’s Park for all animals adopted and adopters will be able to adopt a second animal (buddy adoption) for only $25. 

The Wild Horse Adoption Assocation of America sponsored a booth in coordination with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at the 2007 Clark County Fair in Logandale, NV.  In addition to the booth, WHAAA brought two yearling horses to display in the daily demonstrations at the fair. 

The overall effort was a huge success!  Working together with the BLM, the two horses, Bonnie and Clyde, were adopted on the first day of the fair - and would have been adopted many times over.  Thousands of visitors came to the booth and the demonstrations endearing many in the crowd to the yearlings.
