This website is owned and created by Nancy Kerson, a private citizen. 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 we sure as heck are not a Mustang car dealership! | This website:

| | Idaho has 6 wild horse herd areas: | Name of HMA | AML | Current Population | Acreage | | Black Mountain* | 60 | 73 | 50,902 | | Hardtrigger* | 130 | 118 | 69,420 | The adopter says, "This is a Hardtrigger mustang we adopted when she was 3 months old and now is five.
 | We rope and barrel race, game, mountain ride. She is an extraordinary animal! We just adopted five more from Saylor Creek."  | Sands Basin*
| 64 | 54 | 11,662 |  
Destino from Sands Basin in the Ohyhee Mtns of Idaho | 
Here's my Sands Basin 2 yr old gelding. He was the last yearling colt left after the adoptions. He is solid chestnut color. I plan to show him in Dressage and have my kids ride him as a Hunter Jumper. He should come in at 15.2h.
He is the smartest horse I've ever worked, and my best friend. The other day I set up a jump shute. He jumped the 4 foot guide instead of the small jump - because it looked like more fun??? He also loves to watch other horses work. He wants to do the work. I like his type. I think it is the true mustang look. Long stride huge up hill build solid bone and great feet. He floats at all 4 gaits!
I want to do more to help people train young mustangs.
warm Regards,
Annie McKillop

* Due to their proximity to one another, these HMA's are being managed as a single Complex. 
These are a few photos I took while leading small groups of friends to see the Wild Horses near Jump Creek the last three weeks. We backed off when we saw the new foal. I love the beauty of the Owyhees.

PHOTOS OF IDAHO HMA HORSES: SEND THEM TO ME IF YOU HAVE ONE YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE Here are some photos I took at the Coeur d'Alene adoption this past weekend at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds (September 22, 2007). The group of horses offered was from both the Hardtrigger and Black Mountain herd areas. Most of them were shades of chestnut but there were a couple black horses. Not sure if that is a good representation of those areas but that's just what was available for adoption.
