The facility launched its regular winter schedule Tuesday. It will be open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and closed Fridays. The facility will also be closed for Thanksgiving on Nov. 27 and 28.

Visitors can browse the corrals, meet available animals and complete adoption paperwork all in one visit.

This reopening brings a large selection of animals: approximately 130 wild horses and 70 wild burros are available for adoption. The horses come from a wide range of herd management areas in Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado, including Roberts Mountain, Pancake, Antelope, Cedar Mountain, Blawn Wash, White Mountain, and Piceance-East Douglas. Burros come primarily from Big Sandy and Alamo, Arizona.

All adoptions are handled through the Bureau of Land Management’s Wild Horse & Burro Program, which works to place excess animals into private care where they can receive training, companionship and long-term homes.

For those unable to attend this week’s event, additional adoption opportunities are available year-round. Prospective adopters can browse animals, apply online, or find upcoming events by visiting BLM.gov/WHB.

More information is also available by calling the Delta facility at 435-864-4068 or emailing TStaheli@blm.gov.

With more than 200 animals waiting for permanent homes, the reopening offers a meaningful opportunity for families, ranchers, and horse lovers to help care for and preserve America’s iconic wild mustangs and burros.
