Summer 2006 at Palomino Valley: Buck & Bald, Maverick-Medicine Horses
The NIASN program has been canceled. Instead PVC will be posting more PVC horses available on the official internet adoption listings managed through BLM's Eastern States office. PVC will continue posting photos of horses available at the facility for adoption however the adopter will have to load out from PVC. Eastern States will select horses from our postings and move them to their adoption page when they are holding an adoption.
In some aspect we were managing a redundant program because Eastern States does provide some shipping to horses adopted from their internet site.
The NIASN program did not produce the numbers of adoptions we expected. The public's response was positive though small. Since January we adopted out 36 head on the NIASN program and 10 of those loaded out from PVC.
If you or the public feel that you need to voice your opinions or concerns we have designated a central contact point. Dean Bolstad can be reached at; Dean_Bolstad@nv.blm.gov
