BLM to Carson: Hold your horses A federal agency says pastures it operates in Oklahoma and Kansas no longer have room for wild horses caught in New Mexico's Carson National Forest. In the past horses caught in the forest that couldn't be adopted out were sent to Bureau of Land Management holding facilities. But Carson National Forest wild horse coordinator Anthony Madrid has received an e-mail from U.S. Forest Service headquarters saying he can no longer ship unadopted horses to BLM facilities. The e-mail gives no reason but Madrid speculates the policy change comes because the BLM facilities are nearly full and expect more wild horses from BLM-managed lands.
