A report posted yesterday by the White Mountain Independent suggests they were disposed at the Navajo County Fairgrounds in Holbrook on August 10.
Some of them may have been acquired by the Salt River Wild Horse Darting Group, a surrogate of the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, as explained in this story by ABC15 News of Phoenix.
Eighteen wild horses were removed from a protected area near Alpine earlier this year in what the Forest Service described as a law enforcement action.
