  send me a photo of your horse or burro from the Carson City district - be sure to include the HMA name.
The Carson City BLM Field Office includes the following Herd Management Areas: (Herds # 300's) NV301 Flanigan
Bravo, adopted by Joseph and Amanda Wilder, Asheville, NC
He is 15.3 hands tall, very drafty.
Extremely smart! Adopted as a 5 year old via Internet Adoption.
|  Flanigan and Fort Sage (managed by California) are adjoining and the horses intermingle freely. They are located 35 miles North of Reno. Horse in this area are large boned and resemble small draft horses such as the Freisian. Due to rough terrain, the animals are sure-footed and hardy. | 
NV301 Flanigan
Donoma is a 6 year old mustang mare. 14 hands tall and very Drafty. She is currently "in school" with me, we are taking the John Lyons apprenticeship together and loving it! - Melissa Bucy
http://www.moonwindsrescue.com | | NV302 Dogskin MtnDogskin Mtns is located about 30 miles North of Reno, and the entire HMA is very rocky and mountainous, resulting in very sound, sure-footed horses. It is a small are with an AML of only 15 animals. The mare pictured at right is the exception, but most Dogskin Mtn horses are solid colored and are reported toresemble the Morgan horse breed in appearance. |  | NV303 Granite Peak
| Granite Peak is located adjacent to Dogskin Mtn, and the 2 herd areas are managed together. AML for Granite Peak is 18 animals. Like Dogskin Mtn, Granite Peak is steep and rocky, resulting in surefooted horses. | NV304 PahRah (zeroed in 1985) | | NV305 Pine NutClick here for Pine Nut Ponies Page

"Buttercup" Pine Nut Pony for Carson City Prison Program Adoption
Pine Nut Spirit
|  | Here is a picture of Shadow our 8 yr old Pine Nut horse on a 60 mile pack trip to Yosemite this summer. Ray packed him, but he does ride him quite a bit as his second horse both here in Gardnerville and in the Sierra's! We also have Shadow's 3 yr old 1/2 brother who will be started this coming spring as he was a late bloomer. Another tidbit is that the BLM says that Shetland Ponies were released into the Pine Nuts years ago thus the horses are smaller. That said I met a brand inspector who is in his late 60's and was born and raised close to the Pine Nuts. He told me that that is not true and that the Pine Nut horses were probably closer to Spanish horses, being smaller and short coupled. He used to capture and break and sell Pine Nut colts when he was a kid and never saw, nor heard the pony story. Did say that the horses were not mixed with local ranchers horses thus being closer to true Spanish Mustangs. Makes sense to me!!! Sheila Schwadell |  | My new Pine Nut Pony picked up 11-25-2007 This little guy was one of three weanlings that was picked up with a band that wandered into a residential neighborhood in the Minden-Gardnerville area. He was fully processed by BLM including
receiving his vaccinations, interstate health certificate, brand certificate and being gelded before being turned over to the Fish Springs Posse. The Posse volunteers got permission to bring them to California for placement as Nevada is in "horse overload." Nancy Kerson

Gentle Ben from Lahontan HMA, adopted by Sharon Kipping
|  |  |  AML is 7 - 10 animals. The HMA is known for its high percentage of pintos as well as buckskins. |  | From Nellis (Nevada Wild Horse Range) 2004 gather at PVC, 2004-2005
The Nellis horses are calm, good-tempered animals with generally very sound conformation. Lots of reds, with palominos, buckskins, duns, and even quite a few whites. About 5% are paints. These pictures were taken by Cathy Barcomb on February 6, 2004, at Palomino Valley BLM Wild Horse & Burro Center: | 
John at PVC reports that the Nellis animals are curious, calm, & very friendly. Some were so curious that it was hard to take their photos - they kept coming in too close! |

(zeroed in 2000) | | NV309 South Stillwater | | NV310 Clan Alpine
 AML: 612 - 979 animals Clan Alpine has a healthy population of mountain lions, resulting in low annual population increase to the horses, and many areas are populated primarily with older horses. The horses are solid =colored, bay, or gray in color, and they test genetically to be related to the Quarter Horse, Morgan, and Saddlebred. |

Garfield Flat mare available at Palomino Valley. Call Mike Meyers at Palomino Valley for information:
775-223-9046 | NV314 Pilot Mountains

He was caught in January 2005. We call him Bandit and adopted him this past January. His papers say he is 3 years old. - Jessie in KY
Pilot Mtn colt being halter-trained for adoption at Palomino Valley
| Pilot Mountains was partially gathered in winter of 2005-2006 and when winter conditions prevented the gather from continuing it was stopped, and then resumed and finished in July of 2006. 
| NV315 Gabbs Valley
zeroed in 1987 | | NV316 Marietta | Wild Burro Range | NV317 Montgomery Pass (USFS)This herd's population is perfectly balanced with its environment - mountain lions keep the population from getting out of control. As a result, this herd has never been gathered. |
