About 25 wild horses will be removed from private land in northwestern Colorado using a bait and trap technique. Bureau of Land Management officials say specialists are expected to use hay and water to attract the horses to specific areas until captured.
Craig Daily News reports that the horses would be then relocated to a Bureau of Land Management facility in Rock Springs and made available for adoption or sale. Removing wild horses from private land is part of the Bureau of Land Management's responsibilities under the 1971 Wild Free Roaming Horses and Burro Act.
