Wild horse distribution center plans focus on Pa
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - The
south-central Penn
slyvania/northem Maryland area
has been selected as the locale of
the first wild horse and burro
distribution center in the Nor
theast.
Proposals will soon be accepted
from individuals interested
establishing and operating the
facility, announces the Bureau of
Land Management, an agency of
the U.S. Department of the In
terior. The center will receive
regular shipments of wild horses
and burros from public rangelands
in the West, and shelter the
animals until they are picked up by
qualified adopters under BLM’s
Adopt-a-Horse Program.
“A distribution center in the
south-central Penn-'
sylvania/northem Maryland area
will give residents of the Northeast
their first chance to adopt a wild
horse or burro without having to
travel a long way to pick one up,"
said BLM Eastern States Director
Roger L. Hildebeidel. “Right now,
the only distribution point east of
the Mississippi River is in Cross
Plains, Tennessee, about thirty
miles north of Nashville.”
Parties interested in operating
the new facility must be able to
provide facilities and services to
feed and maintain a minimum of
150 wild horses and burros at a
time, to load the animals when
adopters arrive to pick them up,
and to handle -the paperwork
associated with the pickup of the
animals. The adoptions, as well as
