This website is owned and created by Nancy Kerson, a private citizen - I am not the BLM or any other branch of government!

Information about BLM adoptions is offered as a service, to help mustangs find homes and to promote public appreciation of wild horses and burros.

Please direct adoption questions to the BLM, not to me.

And I sure as heck am not a Mustang car dealership!

I have NO horses or burros for sale and am not interested in buying or listing or otherwise promoting your sale animals!

These pictures were taken April 8, 2008

We visited the Litchfield Corrals on our way home from camping in early September, 2006. At the time they had horses left over from the Devils Garden and Coppersmith gathers, as well as new ones from Twin Peaks and a little-known USFS area up near Klamath Falls, called Sisters. The Sisters horses were large, very drafty horses and also quite gentle - three of the mares came right up to us, curious and unafraid. The Twin Peaks horses are large and elegant, testimony to their Cavalry Re-Mount and Old Spanish ancestry.

More recent gathers that have brought horses to Litchfield include High Rock, Nut Mountain, Wall Canyon and other Northern California HMA's, South Shoshone and Buffalo Hills in Nevada and Alvord-Tule, Sheepshead, and Coyote Lakes in Oregon. In 2010, Litchfield expects to receive horses from the popular Twin Peaks HMA.


Two friendly and curious mares greet Michael at the Litchfield Corrals in September.

I later heard that this mare went to the Eureka adoption and was adopted!

 

 


Twin Peaks also has a few appaloosas


Twin Peaks is also a producer of donkeys - AND MULES!!!

 

Thanks to Karen Floyd for the following pix of weanlings at Litchfield in 2007:



These pictures were taken November 5, 2006. At this time the staff at Litchfield have not yet decided for sure which weanlings will be in the Special Adoption.

  

NOTE ABOUT THE LITCHFIELD MULES:

Wild Mules should only be adopted by people with exceptional experience and ability - they are much trickier to gentle and train than wild horses and burros and you can really mess them up - and get messed up! Don't do it just for the novelty - do it only if you know and love mules and know how to work with both mules and wild equids!
