Wyoming's Fifteen Mile Horses Are on BLM's 2025 Roundup Calendar

Imagine you live wild and free across wide open lands — running with your family, grazing peacefully, raising your young under open skies. It’s a life of beauty, belonging and freedom.

Then, without warning, the silence is shattered. Helicopters roar overhead, chasing you and your family across miles of rugged terrain. You run in fear, your young struggling to keep up, your instincts screaming danger.

Exhausted and confused, you're chased into a trap. In a blur of dust and noise, your family is torn apart. You watch helplessly as your family is loaded onto trucks, driven away. You will never see them again.

Now, you're held in a pen — crowded, disoriented, and surrounded by unfamiliar horses. The freedom that defined your life is gone. Your future is uncertain.

This is not a rare event. This is a reality for thousands of America’s wild horses and burros each year. 

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plans to round up approximately 70% of the small Fifteen Mile wild horse herd in northern Wyoming. Using infrared detection, BLM counted 258 horses in the Herd Management Area (HMA) and then added a 20% population increase for foals born this year. BLM's guesstimate is that by Fall, there will be 52 foals and 258 adult horses in the HMA, plus 12 outside the HMA. The agency wants to remove 222 of an estimated 322 horses (even horses who haven't yet been born).

 BLM is counting newborn foals against the arbitrary "Appropriate Management Level" (AML), which is 100 to 230 adult horses. This violates the BLM Wild Horse Handbook, which says foals shouldn't be counted until the January after their birth. That's right, BLM is breaking its own policies and practices to count foals who are—or could be—only a few months old.

We know how Wyoming BLM feels about the wild horses, considering how many they’ve already eliminated from the state—but this isn’t just a stretch—this mix of policy-breaking and "fortune-telling" takes things to a whole new level. 🔮
