The BLM horses being offered for adoption at the OSU Horse Center are being worked with by students that have completed the OSU Wild Horse & B***o Experience program. The horses are worked with in the round pen for a little over an hour. The horses are not classified as gentled so they are Adoption Incentive Program eligible.

The horses all have great minds and demeanor.

The horses are arriving soon! Some updates on the small BLM adoption. Competitive bid information: This will be conducted like a silent auction. Each horse will have 'bid sheets' on their pen where people can place their bid. People wanting to bid will have to register and get a bid number. That will be done on-site starting Saturday at 9 AM. Bids will CLOSE at noon on Sunday. Load-out will be Sunday from 1-5 PM.
To streamline the adoption process please submit your adoption application on-line prior to the event. This is requested but not required as applications will also be available on-site.
