BLUE WING MOUNTAINS - SEVEN TROUGHS COMPLEX Plus LAVA BEDS, KAMMA MTNS, NIGHTINGALE, & SHAWAVE HMA's are part of the Winnemucca District
Landscape of Blue Wings Mountains-Seven Troughs-Shawave-Nightingale HMA area
The Blue Wing Mountains-Seven Troughs HMA's are part of an interconnected group of HMA's that include Shawave & Nightingale HMA's.
I am not aware that these four HMA's are managed as a continuous complex. But I have been there and can attest that there is absolutely nothing to keep the horses & burros from moving from one area to another.
It is also no surprise that the horses from these four areas share many characteristics. They are medium sized horses, stout and sturdily built. Colors include all three base colors (black, red, bay), with a high percentage of roans, as well as a few sabinos, maximum sabinos (pure white), and rabicanos.
This area also has wonderful burros.
