| | ARIZONA: The BURRO State! (Also, Horses)
 Petie, a 20+ year-old Arizona Burro adopted by Diane of NC (IF you have a horse or burro from one of these areas, and would like to share, please send to me - be sure to include your name and the HMA name - Thanks!)Here's a YouTube home movie about a car that comes across a band of Arizona wild horses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHefJ9FN0y8 |  | Arizona has 11 Herd Management Areas. All but two are for burros only. In fact, the Arizona BLM calls Arizona "The Burro State." There are two Arizona HMA's with horses, Cerbat and Cibola-Trigo. |  At the time of the passing of the 1971 Wild Horse & Burro Protection Act, 4 more Herd Areas were identified, but these were zeroed out between 1997 and 2002:
 data from http://www.wildhorseandburro.blm.gov/statistics/2005/index.htm | | Alamo HMA | Black Mountain HMA | Big Sandy HMA
 Emma from Big Sandy - adopted by Sal Rhymes | Cibola-Trigo HMA  from http://www.photos.blm.gov/
| Cerbat HMA
 The Cerbat range has a very special herd of very Spanish-type horses. (See Private Lands Wild Horses below for other Arizona wild horses) The Cerbat Range, like the Montgomery Pass HMA on the California-Nevada border, is in perfect balance with its environment, which includes mountain lions. So Cerbat horses are rarely gathered, except for occasional instances when a single horse or two stray outside their range and become "nuisances." | .jpg) Cerbat Stallion_small.jpg)

| Cibola-Trigo HMA
 | Cibolo-Trigo is maintained at an AML of 120 horses | | Harquahala HMA | Havasu HMA | | Lake Pleasant HMA | Little Harquahala HMA | | Painted Rock HMA | Tassi-Gold Butte HA |
