BLM Mustang Horses

Although many like to think that all the horses on BLM lands are purebred mustangs, SOME of them are half some other breed of horse.

This is because some purebred horses were allowed to run loose on BLM lands, like ranchers let cattle run with the horses. Except that other kinds of horses can interbred with mustangs - cattle can not.

Myself, I believe that a mix of different genes makes for a healthier animal - and science backs me up on that.

Not every herd of wild horses is the same. If you look at different herds of (up for adoption, and on sale) horses and burros, you might find what you want.
