In March, BLM estimated there were 402 wild horses in the area.
BLM plans to capture and remove 360.
Our team is onsite.
There is a lot going on right now. Please learn more and help to engage Congress on the budget bill to address some of the egregious abuses. More here.
Official cumulative numbers:
Captured (official count): 309 Wild Horses (128 Stallions, 136 Mares, and 45 Foals)
Shipped: 305 Wild Horses (125 Stallions, 135 Mares, and 45 Foals)
Deaths: 3. Mare broken neck. A stud BLM said was blind in one eye and another they said had “no teeth” were put down.
Please be aware, BLM weakened the standards in their CAWP program on June 29th, right before helicopter roundup season began. A veterinarian is no longer required to be onsite.
Newer reports will appear at the top. This page will update frequently.

Day 5, 08-28-26
51 Wild Horses (21 Stallions, 24 Mares, and 6 Foals) were captured at a new trap.
The band went into the trap. The foal lagged and mom went back. The foal figured out how to get through the jute and mom followed.
The two were pursued, but unfazed by the helicopter. Roping crews went out and brought them in.
The wind kicked up at the end of the day.
This page will update frequently. We are still processing and uploading.
Day 4, 08-27-26
17 Wild Horses (7 Stallions, 7 Mares, and 3 Foals) captured in off HMA area during the second day at this trap.
Winds picked up at temporary holding.
Our team member is the only observer onsite.
Day 3, 08-26-26
48 Wild Horses (20 Stallions, 22 Mares, and 6 Foals) were captured from the off HMA (old Herd Area). That means every horse from this area is targeted for capture. Roping of adults and young adults will be common.
We did two edits of this youngster being roped as he/she put up a fight and is “hard jerked” on a rope that appears to have become too tight tight causing the horse to eventually collapse. BLM said the horse was “ok” after arriving at temporary.
Our team member is the only observer onsite.
Day 2, 08-25-26:
42 Wild Horses (15 Stallions, 20 Mares, and 7 Foals) were captured at the second trap on day 2.
It was a day where several wild horses made a break. The first run the group broke through the jute.
This small family of 3 appeared to be separated; the two adults driven into trap and the foal roped behind a hill.
Another wild horse made a break for it.
Trap moves tomorrow.
NOTE: Many of you are emailing us due to another fire reported in the Onaqui HMA. We are adding these maps to show you the location of the fire in Onaqui. The maps will also show you where Bible Springs is located (where the roundup just ended) and where the Confusion HMA is (this roundup). These HMAs are not near each other for those of you worried about our people in the field (and we thank you for your concern).
Day 1, 08-24-26:
Our new team member Melissa Strickland arrived at trap at at around 7:20 a.m. It was a very long drive to trap and meet location had changed. The last group was trapped at 2:08 p.m. At 3:30 they were permitted t leave trap and head to temporary where all sorting had been completed before arrival.
Unofficial count captured for the day: 35 (Stallions- 19, Mares- 11, Foals- 5)
Below are 3 runs out of 6. We are still editing and will update this page frequently.

Our team works hard in the field. Long days onsite. We upload video and images every single day.
Being your “eyes and ears” means sharing what we see. The public “right to know” is not simply our right to view and form and opinion. It is about our right to document, show you… and each member of the public having the right to form their own opinion.
We need your support to keep our teams engaging lawmakers, our team fighting in the court, our team running the roundup schedule.
Every mile we travel to cover roundups or assess a herd, every court case we bring, every win, every action we take is only possible because of your support. Sincere Gratitude.
