The Bureau of Land Management is the government agency that is responsible for the management of these wild herds. They do periodic roundups of wild horses and burros to insure the health and survival of the remaining animals on the range; they also offer some of them for adoption. The environments where the mustangs live are often short on forage and water. Care must be taken to make sure that the number of horses on the range doesn't outstrip the amount of food and water available, or starvation and death will result.
Many organizations have been formed to help protect wild mustangs and burros, and to facilitate the adoption of these animals. The following websites and phone numbers are a starting place for those who would like more information on how they can help these splendid animals.
