The incident concluded today, with 309 horses captured, 137 shipped, 165 released and seven dead.
There were no unaccounted-for animals.
The capture and removal goals were 350 and 138, respectively.
The death rate was 2.3%.
The capture total included 92 stallions, 187 mares and 30 foals.
Youngsters represented 9.7% of the animals gathered, consistent with a herd growth rate of five percent per year.
Of the adults, 33% were males and 67% were females, not what you’d expect from a herd that’s 50% males / 50% females.
All but three of the mares returned to the WHR were treated with Gonacon Equine, but apparently just one dose.
The event was billed as catch-treat-release and was not open to public observation.
The news release does not discuss death rates, birth rates or abnormal sex ratios.
