Every wild horse or burro is different. They come
in all shapes and sizes, and each animal has its
own personality. They are of no particular breed,
although some exhibit characteristics associated
with certain breeds (Spanish breeds, draft
crosses, stock horse types.) A typical wild horse
stands about 13 to 15 hands high (52- 60 inches)
and weighs about 700 to 1,000 pounds. Wild
burros average 11 hands high (44 inches) and
weigh about 500 pounds. Because the BLM only
recently removed them from public lands, wild
horses and burros put up for adoption are not
accustomed to people. As an adopter, your
challenge will be to develop a trusting relationship
with your wild horse or burro.

I have also helped several people adopt wild
horses and burros. Please give me a call if you
would like to find out more about the adoption
process!
