ROCK SPRINGS — The Bureau of Land Management’s Rock Springs Wild Horse Holding Facility is currently closed to the public.

It’s a routine closure to allow wild horses removed from the Red Desert Wild Horse Complex to acclimate to their new environment.

No public tours or adoptions will be conducted during the closure; however, the public viewing kiosk will remain open.

The public will be notified when the facility reopens after the conclusion of the gather.

For future tours or adoptions, please contact Kathi Fine at (307) 352-0292.

The BLM is committed to humanely managing and protecting wild horse and burro populations as part of our mission to be a good neighbor and ensure multiple-use access to BLM-administered public lands.
