BLM's Palomino Valley Wild Horse & Burro Center, January 2001 Spectacular Tri-Color Pinto Stud Colt:
When I went to PVC to adopt Sparky, the bay overo stud colt above had exactly the coloration I thought I wanted. I didn't care for his conformation, though. There may have been nothing wrong with him, and he might well have grown into a spectacular saddle horse - but at the moment he was definitely in an awkward stage, and I didn't really know enough about horse development to want to take a chance. So I got Sparky instead.
Well, never mind - SOMEONE adopted him. Our March visit found him in Sparky's pen of weanling and yearling adoptees, waiting to be released to their new homes.
Instead of the tri-color pinto above, we adopted Sparky
More Babies and Yearlings:
Sparky is in back, playing with two grulla fillies that have been adopted by Diane Pinney of California.

The nearly baldfaced buckskin pinto filly in this picture and the one below was adopted by Diana & Robert Conger. Her name is "Coronet." Thanks for writing, Diana!
MOMS and BABIES In January we saw a lot of very pregnant mares. In March, they are mostly here in the Moms and Babies pens. New foals are so cute!
1-30-01 New arrival yearlings still not adopted.
(photo from www.wild-horse.org) But this one was chosen for the National Wild Horse & Burro Show Adoption and was adopted by Lesley Neuman!
Hey, Viewers out there: If you see the horse that YOU adopted on one of these pages, I'd love to hear from you! I want to know how they turn out!
The Granite Range is an area that is believed to have acquired wild horses only within the last 70 years - when ranchers pulled up stakes and abandoned their livestock during the Great Depression. Looking at this sample of recent gathers, this seems plausible. However, the Granite Range also includes a high percentage of very Sorraia-type grullos and zebra duns, which make me wonder if maybe there was already a base of wild horses, which the more recent horses joined.
