Burros, Wild Horses Sale Or Adoption Event To Be Held In Lorton

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has managed an event that will be held on Nov. 1 - 2, 2019, at Meadowood Special Recreation Area, 10406 Gunston Road, Lorton. At this event, wild horses and burros from public rangelands in Western states will be available for adoption or sale.
A burro is used to help guide a wild mustang into its new owner’s trailer as part of the Bureau of Land Management’s wild equine adoption event in Lorton 2017.
According to www.connectionnewspapers.com, "Yearlings and burros may not always be available at the event. It is unknown at press time how many horses or burros may be available at this event; however, a public viewing will begin Friday, from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. The adoption, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 8 a.m. Saturday. These events are scheduled in partial fulfillment of the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, which directs the BLM and U.S. Forest Service to manage for healthy herds on healthy rangelands. The adoption/sales program is one way the BLM manages the size of horse and burro populations in the wild. Prospective adopters/buyers must be at least 18 years old and able to provide access to feed, water, and adequate shelter. The basic adoption fee is $25, however, the fee rises to $125 for animals that have been gentled. Title to the animal will be awarded to the adopter at the end of one year if all conditions of the adoption agreement have been met."
