Wild horses rescued from BLM.

33. I don't need to read post # 24 to know what I'm talking about, thanks.

I'm pretty clear.

I'm not sure what your points in 24 have to do with the point here; that buying mustangs from the blm is not "rescuing" them from the blm; it's part of the necessary population control.

There is an overpopulation problem. That's why they are rounded up and sold. In reality, there probably shouldn't be any feral horses roaming loose at all. They aren't "wild;" as far as I know, Przewalski's horse is the only "wild" horse left on the planet since the Tarpan went extinct a century ago. They are feral domestic horses. They aren't just descendants of spanish and later escapees; feral herds have been managed and "improved" by turning various domestic breeds out to interbreed with them. As a matter of fact, you can find "mustangs" with clear draft horse blood in some places. I've seen them, and ridden with a friend who adopted one.

Then there is the actual "spanish mustang" breed; those feral horses rounded up with the characteristics of the early spanish horses, and bred in captivity.

My first horse was a "mustang," back in the 1960s. I've been following what's happening with them since then. I've already done my research, thanks.
