Wild Horses and Burros in Utah

(Information and graphics courtesy of BLM, Salt Lake District Office)

In the ten states where BLM manages horses, there are 270 herd areas. In Utah, about 2,600 horses are found among 22 different herds scattered across the state. Two herds of burros containing about 100 animals are found on public lands in southeastern Utah.

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.
