Collin Rugg(@CollinRugg):104 wild horses have been released back into the Bighorn Basin in Wyoming. The release comes after about 350 wild horses were rounded up to prevent overpopulation. “The gather is being conducted to strengthen the long-term health of the wild horse herd and the rangelands they rely on,” the Bureau of Land Management explained. “This effort supports a more sustainable balance on the landscape, which has been heavily strained by long-term overpopulation and severe drought conditions.” “Recent infrared aerial surveys have shown wild horse populations exceed the established appropriate management level of 100 to 230 wild horses in the area.” Very cool.
