Colorado Wild Horse Working Group Mulls New Refuge

The agenda from last week’s meeting indicates that Day 2 was devoted to consideration of a new preserve.

The legislature expects the group to identify and pursue long-term solutions for wild horses that are removed from federal horse management areas or held in federal facilities according to the Year One Report.

The best option is to acquire base properties tied to one or more grazing allotments, such as the ranch near Dinosaur, and flip the preference to horses.

The pattern has already been established by the Wild Horse Refuge.
