Download or read book Using Science to Improve the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-10-04 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using Science to Improve the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program: A Way Forward reviews the science that underpins the Bureau of Land Management's oversight of free-ranging horses and burros on federal public lands in the western United States, concluding that constructive changes could be implemented. The Wild Horse and Burro Program has not used scientifically rigorous methods to estimate the population sizes of horses and burros, to model the effects of management actions on the animals, or to assess the availability and use of forage on rangelands. Evidence suggests that horse populations are growing by 15 to 20 percent each year, a level that is unsustainable for maintaining healthy horse populations as well as healthy ecosystems. Promising fertility-control methods are available to help limit this population growth, however. In addition, science-based methods exist for improving population estimates, predicting the effects of management practices in order to maintain genetically diverse, healthy populations, and estimating the productivity of rangelands. Greater transparency in how science-based methods are used to inform management decisions may help increase public confidence in the Wild Horse and Burro Program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full color print edition. Early westward travelers seeking a direct route to California faced a daunting challenge: a seventy-mile trek through a dry and salty region 19th Century cartographers labeled "The Great American Desert." The Donner-Reed Party may be the best known among those who braved this forbidding desert, but they were neither the first nor the last. From Jedediah Smith's legendary walk across the Great Basin to Dwight D. Eisenhower's consequential cross-country odyssey nearly a century later, the roads and trails crisscrossing western Tooele County find their origins in a surprisingly rich collection of historical tales. Today, two popular herds of wild horses still roam this storied landscape, beckoning sightseers and photographers along these same trails. Robert Hammer brings the history and the horses together in this entertaining and informative book, packed with images from both past and present, guiding the reader through nearly-forgotten times and uninhabitable spaces in search of those living icons of our national heritage, the mustangs of the American West. Also available in standard black-and-white print and e-book editions.

Book excerpt: Panguitch is king of the wild mustangs. A magnificent stallion the color of a lion, except for his black mane and tail, he has been unsuccessfully sought for years by a number of horse hunters. Chane Weymer can hardly believe when the Paiute Chief, Toddy Nokin, confides in him, a white man, that Panguitch and his herd are on Wild Horse Mesa in Utah. How can a herd of horses be on the insurmountable mesa? Chane buys horses from the Paiute that he plans to sell to the Mormons, but he is attacked by horse thieves and escapes with only the horse he is riding. Having evaded the thieves, he discovers wild horses led by Panguitch. Now that he knows Panguitch's access to Wild Horse Mesa, Chane decides to return to capture the wild stallion. Chane is near exhaustion when he rides into the Melberne-Loughbridge horse-hunting camp. Amazed to find that his brother is part of the crew there, he accepts Melberne's invitation to join them. But trouble lies ahead as Benton Manerube, a man associated with the horse thieves who attacked Chane, is in the camp posing as an expert horse hunter.

Download or read book Honest Horses written by Paula Morin and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2006-02-13 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horses have been part of the American West since the first Spanish explorers brought their European-bred steeds onto the new continent. Soon thereafter, some of these animals, lost or abandoned by their owners or captured by indigenous peoples, became the foundation of the great herds of mustangs (from the Spanish mesteño, stray) that still roam the West. These feral horses are inextricably intertwined with the culture, economy, and mythology of the West. The current situation of the mustangs as vigorous competitors for the scanty resources of the West’s drought-parched rangelands has put them at the center of passionate controversies about their purpose, place, and future on the open range. Photographer/oral historian Paula Morin has interviewed sixty-two people who know these horses best: ranchers, horse breeders and trainers, Native Americans, veterinarians, wild horse advocates, mustangers, range scientists, cowboy poets, western historians, wildlife experts, animal behaviorists, and agents of the federal Bureau of Land Management. The result is the most comprehensive, impartial examination yet of the history and impact of wild mustangs in the Great Basin. Morin elicits from her interviewees a range of expertise, insight, and candid opinion about the nature of horses, ranching, and the western environment. Honest Horses brings us the voices of authentic westerners, people who live intimately with horses and the land, who share their experiences and love of the mustangs, and who understand how precariously all life exists in Great Basin.

Download or read book Rants from the Hill written by Michael P. Branch and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If Thoreau drank more whiskey and lived in the desert, he’d write like this.”—High Country News Welcome to the land of wildfire, hypothermia, desiccation, and rattlers. The stark and inhospitable high-elevation landscape of Nevada’s Great Basin Desert may not be an obvious (or easy) place to settle down, but for self-professed desert rat Michael Branch, it’s home. Of course, living in such an unforgiving landscape gives one many things to rant about. Fortunately for us, Branch—humorist, environmentalist, and author of Raising Wild—is a prodigious ranter. From bees hiving in the walls of his house to owls trying to eat his daughters’ cat—not to mention his eccentric neighbors—adventure, humor, and irreverence abound on Branch’s small slice of the world, which he lovingly calls Ranting Hill.
Download or read book The Wild Horse of the West written by Walker Demarquis Wyman and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1963-01-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What has happened to the mustang and to the wild or feral horse, whether of Spanish or American ancestry, in the West, is exhaustively and interestingly set forth by Walker D. Wyman. His is, perhaps, the final word on the history of the horse on the western range. . . . This is a book which holds the interest not only of students of western history and of the range, but also of the general reader."--New Mexico Historical Review. "A story gleaned from everything worth while that has been written on the wild horse and the bibliography alone will assure it space on any shelf of Americana. . . . Harold Bryant's illustrations are splendid."--New York Times Book Review. "This is a long-needed book--a valuable contribution to pioneer history. The range horse--the Mustang and the Cayuse--played no small part in the development of the West, but that part has been too often forgotten. . . . The story is well and interestingly told by Mr. Wyman."--Oregon Historical Quarterly. "Wyman examines authoritatively the various theories as to the origins of the wild horses of the plains, which eventually competed with the buffalo, transformed the culture of the Plains Indians, and still later constituted a major economic factor in Western ranching. . . . The work constitutes a valuable addition to Western Americana."--Chicago Sun.
Download or read book Wild Horses of the Summer Sun written by Tory Bilski and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wondrous story of adventure and friendship featuring a group of women who ride Icelandic horses. "Blame it or praise it, there is no denying the wild horse in us." - Virgina Woolf Each June, Tory Bilski meets up with fellow women travelers in Reykjavik where they head to northern Iceland, near the Greenland Sea. They escape their ordinary lives to live an extraordinary one at a horse farm perched at the edge of the world. If only for a short while. When they first came to Thingeyar, these women were strangers to one another. The only thing they had in common was their passion for Icelandic horses. However, over the years, their relationships with each other deepens, growing older together and keeping each other young. Combining the self-discovery of Eat, Pray, Love, the sense of place of Under the Tuscan Sun, and the danger of Wild, Wild Horses of the Summer Sun revels in Tory's quest for the "wild" inside her. These women leave behind the usual troubles at home: illnesses, aging parents, troubled teenagers, financial worries and embrace their desire for adventure. Buoyed by their friendships with each other and their growing attachments and bonds with the otherworldly horses they ride, the warmth of Thingeyrar's midnight sun carries these women through the rest of the year's trials and travails. Filled with adventure and fresh humor, as well as an incredible portrait of Iceland and its remarkable equines, Wild Horses of the Summer Sun will enthrall and delight not just horse lovers, but those of us who yearn for a little more wild in everyday life.
Download or read book Wild Horse Losses Orr Springs Area Dugway Proving Ground Utah written by F. J. Schoenfeld and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loss of 50 horses during the week of July 4th, 1976 to July 9th, 1976 at the Orr Springs area of Dugway Proving Ground, and the joint investigations by qualified persons of Bureau of Land Management, the Utah Department of Agriculture, and Dugway Proving Ground scientists involved many areas of scientific investigation. It was necessary to gather information concerning the following: Natural range geography, Plant, insect and rodent life(wild life ecology), Climatological data, Water sources and Chemical analysis of sources, Range management practices, Normal habitat of wild horse herd, Wild horse psychology, Environmental movements of wild horses, Physiology of extracellular fluids, Fluid and electrolyte balance and therapy of horses, Necropsy techniques, Histological pathological procedures, Blood chemistry, Tissue chemistry, Bacteriology and virology, Heavy metal and organophosphorous chemistry, People: Personnel of various agencies, Press, Humane Society, General public, Natural or 'nature' phenomenon, Personal observations of people investigating. Conclusion: May and June climatic factors of below normal rainfall and relative humidity plus higher than normal temperatures, coupled with water improvements that were in the process of completion were contributing factors. The premature drying of some water areas forced early movement of horses to other watering areas, which were in the final stages of development. The horses being dehydrated evidently were reluctant to move again and remained in their social groups and died. It became necessary then to restore their former watering areas.
