The Wild Horse Workshops are interactive events. Without the BLM,
volunteer staff, volunteer clinicians and participant involvement
in hands-on activities with the horses, the workshop would be
little more than a glamorous demonstration.
The people who come and work with these animals are dedicated to the premise that properly gentled and trained wild horses can make successful transitions to domestic life and adapt comfortably to healthy, fulfilling and happy lives. Bridging the stressful transition from wild to tame is where the art of horse gentling is at it's apogee and this is where this group excels. One look at the interplay between humans and animals who, just hours before, were frightened and wary of people and you have proof positive that these once wild animals will do just fine and can enjoy life as domestic horses. "Smile for the camera!"

This was an indoor event so a number of images folks took didn't turn out well enough to post on the internet. If you have images of people or activities that we are missing, please contact us! | |

| When held to appropriate numbers that the land can support, wild horses do not unreasonably compete with native species for food and water, and in some instances their presence is beneficial to the land, other animals and plant communities. |
