| That's awesome, I've heard great things about the South Steens horses, but haven't heard about Dustpan! Where's that herd located? |

| I apologize, that was really long lol. I got them on Thursday. Gym, The 4 year old mare I got is South Steens, and the 2 year old gelding is Dustpan Butte |

| I didn't plan to get multiple. It just kinda happened after I found a 2 year old gelding that I was able to pet in the corrals. It can be quite a long process. At the start, you have to be approved by the BLM before you can even think about adopting. You need a 20x20 pen for each animal, 4 feet high for a burro, 5 feet high for a yearling, and 6+ feet high for horses over the age of 2. You also need a stock trailer or something similar. They will not load horses into a straight load. Once your approved to adopt however many animals (I was approved to adopted 2 originally in October, with my original pen being 40x40 and 6 1/2 feet). Each state has their own regulations on shelter too. Some don't need it, but I believe CA does need a shelter. Once your through that process, you can contact the people at whatever facility you want to adopt from. I went to the Corrals in Burns/Hines, Oregon. I would recommend spending some time at the corrals to look at the horses conformation and how they act in the pens. I was interested in a gorgeous palomino mare before I settled on the mare I got, and I passed on her because she had long pasterns. Make sure to get tag numbers too. You can ask where the horse is from, how old they are, and some other things in the office. On the day of the adoption appointment, you tell the wranglers what pen/s you want brought in to take a closer look at the horses. After that they run 5-6 horses into the chutes to look even closer at them. If you see one you like you point it out and they will move that horse into a pen that you can watch it in. There can be 5-6 horses at a time. Once you choose what horse or horses you like, you can choose if you want them haltered or not, and if you want their tag taken off. I had halters put on my two, and I will not be doing it again. While it softens them for halter training, the drag lines are a nuisance. After you choose your horse/s, they'll run them back into the chute and into the trailer. |
