New Mexico Legislature Passes Wild Horse Bill

It’s headed to the governor’s desk according to a story by The Sandoval Signpost.

The bill targets free-roaming herds in Placitas and Ruidoso.

A similar measure passed in the Senate two years ago but did not advance.

Curiously, Placitas is surrounded by BLM grazing allotments.
