Fifty five wild horses removed from the Warm Springs HMA in October 2018, but slated to be returned, won’t be released, according to a Decision Record dated 12-10-19.
Eleven older horses were returned on 10-30-19.
The roundup yielded 845 horses, 2 mules and 41 burros. Some of the mares were to become test subjects for spay research at the off-range corrals in Hines, OR.
The decision was not announced at the BLM news site.
