Eastern States Wild Horse and Burro Event Schedule 2020
The BLM offers wild horses and burros for adoption or purchase at events throughout the year; these events include internet adoptions with
various pick up locations, in person satellite adoption events, and Extreme Makeover Events with the Mustang Heritage Foundation.
Providing a home for a wild horse or burro is a challenging and rewarding experience. For qualified individuals, this is a unique opportunity to
care for, and then own a symbol of American history. If you would like to adopt or purchase at any of these locations, applications will be
available onsite, you can also complete an application and mail to the appropriate office prior to the event.
