While the eastern United States don't have wild horse herds and Herd Management Areas on the scale of the western states, there are wild horse bands present, some of which are managed by private, non profit organizations. Additionally, the BLM operates an adoption center in Cross Plains, Tenn., where horses gathered from the western states are available for adoption. This facility also schedules satellite adoptions in other eastern states.

This is not a BLM operated or BLM sponsored site. It is run by private wild horse and burro enthusiasts. We are thankful to the BLM for providing the information which is presented here. We also hope to soon be posting information pertaining to HMAs in other states.
