The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced the agency and its partners helped place 8,045 wild horses and burros into new homes in fiscal year (FY) 2023.
Of the wild horses and burros placed, 6,220 animals were adopted, 1,798 were sold and 27 were transferred to other government agencies, making it the second-highest number of animals placed into new homes in over 25 years.
Over one-third of the animals adopted were adopted through the BLM’s Adoption Incentive Program, which offers $1,000 to the adopter one year after the titling of a wild horse or burro.
