Only a Tiny Amount of Wild Horses Will Remain in Antelope Hills Herd Management Area in Wyoming

Published by Carol Walker at November 2, 2020

I am at the viewing site for the Red Desert roundup – it will be the last day for this area in Antelope Hills. It is a balmy 31 degrees this morning. Yesterday they captured 107 wild horses and I thought they were done here. They only plan to leave 60 horses in this HMA of 159,000 acres. They will release 25 horses.

I saw a colorful family run on top of the hill near the trap. They came down followed by a group of four black horses who waited on the hill while the helicopter went after a big group of about 12 pintos buckskins, grullas and bays who looked so tired – moving slowly, I am not sure how far they had been pushed. It took a while for the helicopter to get the four blacks to meet up with the big group and get pushed in. They are using only one trap for this area which is absolutely huge.

Next I saw about another 50 wild horses being driven in. There have been a few groups of 10-12 and some small groups. There was one stallion bringing up the rear of a larger group, a proud and stunning grulla stallion who balked at being driven in and took off, avoiding the helicopter’s efforts to drive him to the trap. He is still running!!!
