Start by working strictly through official BLM channels. Wild horses (mustangs) are federally protected under the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. You cannot take them directly from gathers, holding facilities, or public land. Placement happens via the BLM’s adoption program, sales program (for animals offered for adoption at least three times or over ~10–11 years old), or long-term off-range pasture contracts. Nonprofits can participate as organizations.

Your 2000 acres backing up to BLM land and 501(c)(3) status are strong foundations for a private sanctuary model (similar to existing Colorado efforts). BLM prioritizes qualified private care to reduce holding costs, but facilities undergo review/inspection, especially for larger numbers.Key BLM Contacts in Colorado

Tell them you are forming a 501(c)(3) sanctuary and want guidance on adopting/purchasing larger groups or applying for off-range pasture contracts. For group sales (5+ animals) or large placements, they often require additional documentation and site verification.

Practical Path Forward
Complete 501(c)(3) and prepare facilities — BLM requires adequate corrals initially (minimum ~400 sq ft per ungentled adult horse, 6-ft fencing recommended, access to food/water/shelter), then larger free-roaming pastures once gentled or for long-term care. They may inspect, especially for 25+ animals at one location. Assess your land’s carrying capacity (forage, water, terrain—Colorado arid ranges typically support far fewer horses per acre than humid areas). Perimeter fencing, water development, and a veterinary plan are https://t.co/xk5Qc95TJV +1
Adoption/Sales route — Apply via the Online Corral (https://t.co/OYt2FoKVJw) or local events/facilities. Individuals/organizations generally face a title limit of four animals per 12 months under adoption (more can be held under care agreements), but sales of unadoptable animals and group purchases for sanctuaries have more flexibility. Title transfers after ~1 year of approved care for https://t.co/gWL0N5i4bQ +1
Long-term holding contracts — BLM periodically solicits private landowners for Off-Range Pastures (ORPs) that can hold hundreds to thousands of horses in free-roaming conditions for multi-year terms. Colorado is often eligible. Watch https://t.co/BxIBZZeFft for solicitations (register your entity there first—free Unique Entity ID required). BLM pays a negotiated per-head/day rate; contractors supply land, forage, water, fencing, and care meeting strict welfare standards. Site visits occur. This is the closest match for large-scale, ongoing intake of gathered https://t.co/Re5JBvAA19 +1
Local Colorado context — Colorado has four main herd management areas (Piceance-East Douglas, Sand Wash Basin, Little Book Cliffs, Spring Creek Basin). Gathers occur periodically when numbers exceed Appropriate Management Levels. The state also has a Wild Horse Advisory Committee and Department of Agriculture support program (email [email protected] (mailto:[email protected])).ag.colorado.gov
Year after year, we have lobbied and litigated to end the horse slaughter trade, and year after year, we have made sure that congressional appropriations language is in place to prevent the BLM from selling horses in a manner that leads to their slaughter. It is impossible to make horse slaughter humane.
It’s up to all of us to ensure that the administration hears our calls to action—it’s up to all of us to ensure that Congress makes this the last time America’s wild horses undergo the immense terror of suffering of transport and slaughter.

anyone of us behaved like this at our job, we would immediately be reprimanded instead Terry’s salary is over $17,000 a month of taxpayer money. Is this what they talk about when they say white privilege?

🚨 WOW! This Christian pastor walked up and WENT BERSERK on Muslim Dearborn MI City Councilmembers trying to push Sharia Law
"You're only ONE PERCENT OF THIS NATION! We are NOT a nation of Muslims, we are a nation of CHRISTIANS! We are one nation under GOD!"
"YOU are up under Sharia Law!"
"You have seen what has happened in this city, and it is my people that have funded you. It's my people that made sure that you have what you have, and you spit on us. You degrade us!"
"We have LOST this city. This is a city that is no longer up under American laws. We are up under Sharia law. We will not have it anymore. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

CHRISTIAN NATION!
🚨 California has officially passed AB 2624, aka “The Stop Nick Shirley Act”:
The Senate and Assembly have passed the bill, and now it’s on the governor’s desk.
California would rather protect fraudsters over law-abiding taxpayers.

Earlier this year, my husband Abraham was diagnosed with a very rare bone cancer. This has been a challenging time for us and is hard to talk about. But so many of you have reached out asking how he’s doing, and sharing your prayers and well wishes with us. We made this video to share a little about what this journey has been like, and to update you on his recovery. Mahalo for all of the love and support 🙏🏽
Thank you, Anaheim Angels for bringing back a ton of memories for us. Paul and I were honored to throw out the first pitch of the game today. And 50 years ago we played one of our first stadium shows right here. Amazing.
🚨David Spade calls out Newsom for vetoing bipartisan audit of $20+ billion in California homeless funds

Should taxpayers finally see where all that money went?
Abdul El-Sayed ran a "slaughterhouse" that killed 4,000+ kittens and dogs.
Sounds familiar, LA? This is just what communists do. I don’t trust ANYONE who hates dogs. #1 tell of a psychopath is abusing animals.
Stephen Miller blasts Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed over his association with Hasan Piker, calling on Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats to repudiate his candidacy:
“To talk about something deadly serious in Michigan: to campaign with, to embrace friendship with, and to court the endorsement of Hasan Piker, who has supported the 9/11 attacks. So when you say America deserved 9/11, what you are saying is that you support Osama bin Laden and you support the al-Qaeda 9/11 attacks. That’s what you’re saying. So for the Democratic Party to nominate somebody who has associated himself with somebody who supports the 9/11 attacks says everything you need to know about how far the Democratic Party has fallen in the world today, Sean. It is to the everlasting shame of Schumer and the Senate Democrats that they have not repudiated and renounced the Michigan Senate candidate for his association with this ideology of evil.”

THE FRAUD NEVER ENDS
🚨BREAKING: Chicago mayoral candidate Danielle Carter-Walters lays out her first 30 days plan.
If elected in 2027, she says she will:
- End sanctuary city policies immediately
- Launch a full forensic audit of all municipal budget activities to track exactly where taxpayer money is going
- Go directly into communities to recruit qualified Chicagoans as police officers
- Create strong incentives to hire and retain officers to close the nearly 2,000-officer shortage
Carter-Walters, a Chicago native, small business owner, and wife of a retired CPD officer, says: “When people know their leadership cares about them, supports them, and has their backs, they don’t mind working hard for you.”
She is positioning herself as a common-sense alternative focused on public safety, fiscal accountability, and putting Chicagoans first.
🚨DEAR GOD!!!
An alleged illegal immigrant SMASHED THROUGH A CLOSET WALL and ATTACKED a 15-year-old girl who was babysitting...
...grabbing her by the hair, BEAT HER, and threatened to r*pe her, while two little kids, ages 5 and 7, watched in TERROR... BUT SHE FOUGHT HIM OFF!!!!!
Police say a 15-year-old girl was doing nothing but babysitting two young children, ages 5 and 7, in her apartment.
On the other side of her CLOSET WALL was a 29-year-old man named Obed Reyes.
Police say he PUNCHED A HOLE THROUGH THE DRYWALL, climbed into her apartment, grabbed her by the hair, punched her, and threatened to R*PE her.
All while two babies watched it happen.
This girl never gave up.
She FOUGHT BACK. She fought him off, broke free, and ran into the breezeway screaming for help.
Neighbors heard her and called 911 and began helping her.
Officers got there FAST, and they caught the attack still in progress. They pulled him off her and arrested him on the spot.
Police say Reyes lived in the same complex but didn't even know this girl. She was a stranger to him.
He's now charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, burglary, and cruelty to children. Jail records show federal authorities have placed on ICE detainer on him.
He's also labelled as a WHITE OR CAUCASIAN MALE in the arrest records.
That little girl is a warrior. And she saved herself.
GOD BLESS her, the neighbors who helped, and the officers who got there in time.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!
