Range developnent should be in operation. Basic herd sizes are established. 

 /ijinual round-up reduction of horse herds will be in place. 



Other Management Techniques 



Vaccination 



As long as horse herds are left on their own natural range above congested 

 elevations, Nafare has provided a disease free environnient. It is the 

 incarceration in storage facilities and exposure to crowded environments that 

 contaminates. 



Vaccinations will be administered to stock moved into wild horse sanctuary or in 



situations required for transport. 



Hoof Tri.TiTU.ng 



By having norses in their own habitat, again Mother Nature will resolve the 

 problem. Running on the natural terrain will keep hooves and legs in top shape 

 without application of artificial methods. 



Casturization 



This will be done to all 2 and 3 year olds during the annual trapping, depending 

 on sales and range dictates to be determined cinnually. 



Wild Horse Sanctuary 



It is proposed that the majority of wild horse management will be perforroed on 

 high altitude range lands away frcm population centers. It is edso proposed that 

 one range land sanctuary be located with easy access to the more populated areas 

 as an education center. 



Planned field trips for all ages of school children could provide not only 

 information and appreciation for the horses themselves, but at a secondary level, 

 through history and government classes, provoke discussion and information about 

 such topics as the Taylor Grazing Act, responsibilities and constraints of the 

 Bureau of Land Management, and long term implications of the Mustang Protection 

 Act. 



This facility '.ould also be open to the general public, providing not only an 

 additional tourist attraction, but again, another forum fron which to impart 

 visual as well as factual information. Only be having a well informed public can 

 t.".e issues of management in a changing world be discussed in a manner that 

 fosters t.he best results for all.
