The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has approved the Final Pancake Complex Wild Horse Gather and Herd Management Plan for managing wild horses in central Nevada’s Pancake Complex.
The plan determined the removal of excess horses will be necessary to maintain appropriate management levels in the complex. This area, spanning over 1.2 million acres near Ely, includes Jakes Wash Herd Area, Monte Cristo Wild Horse Territory and the Pancake and Sand Springs West herd management areas. Bristlecone Field Manager Melanie Peterson said the plan ensures a healthy population within the designated range of 336-638 horses.
