The BLM Montana/Dakotas will bring 54 wild horses and burros to the Upper Yellowstone Wild Horse & Burro Adoption Event, taking place June 6-8, 2025, at the Park County Fairgrounds in Livingston, Montana.
This event will offer 37 untouched horses, 15 burros, and two saddle-trained horses from Wyoming Honor Farm, and the chance to also learn from experienced trainers on how to care for and train these incredible animals. The Wyoming Honor Farm, a minimum-security facility in Riverton, Wyoming, has partnered with the BLM since 1988 to train and adopt out wild horses. Inmates and horses build mutual trust through the gentling process, helping both prepare for successful transitions, horses to new homes and men back into society.
Event Schedule:
Friday, June 6th, Public Viewing: 3 – 7 pm
Saturday, June 7th, “Next Steps” Clinic presented by Mustang Matt: 10 am – 2 pm. First Come/First Served Adoption Event: 9 am – 6 pm. Auction two saddle trained horses from Wyoming Honor Farm: 2:30 pm.
Sunday, June 8th, First Come/First Served Adoption Event: 9 am – 6 pm.
By adopting a wild horse or burro, you are helping to maintain healthy rangelands and ensuring that these animals have a sustainable future. Applications can be submitted in advance at the Wild Horse and Burro Online Corral.
