I was looking forward to observing Maelstrom’s progress on the range…. š
I second Linda’s comment. It seems like it would have made more sense to gather young Okomi for an easier adoption transition into a domestic lifestyle.
Sandy, do you know where Ohanzee has last been seen? I know he is on the list. Hoping he can remain free.
Not Sandy but he is on the Dryhead. He is a beauty and I’d love for him to remain free but if he stays free then they take Mica/Mato Ska or Nimbus/Encore.
I actually saw ohazee last week with kememmerer in the Dryhead.
Who all is on the BLM list for removals? I’m really disappointed to see this guy go.

Page 13 is where the list starts. They said they accidentally put Merriweather in Tier 3, that she should have been Tier 1. There goal is to remove the Tier 1s.
Accidentally? They accidentally shuffled a name? That is very hard to believe.
Darn it. I was kinda hoping Maelstrom would stay out of the trap. But, genetically, I guess his line is well represented. Darn.
Thank you Fay and Sandy. I guess I understand the logic of one horse over another (coloration, lines, and age), but my heart breaks thinking of what each horse that is captured must go through being separated from all he/she knows.
So it looks like so far 7 out of 14 1st tier horses have been removed 1 out of 18 in the 2nd tier and 1 out 15 in the 3rd tier. a total of 9.
Sandy thanks so much for the updates…it is sad but removing those that will be easier to adopt out and transition to domestic life will give the others the opportunity to continue to live their lives on the range. Hopefully the PZP system will get things slowly in more control to have less adoptions out in the future.
Are there anymore updates? So far it looks like Pryor site shows 10 listed removed 8/14 1st tier, 1/18 2nd tier 1/15 3rd tier. However the BLM shows 35 horses gathered 13 removed…do we know the additional 3?
I hate waiting and not knowing!
Don’t know if you’ve gotten your answer, but they’ve removed Orion, Ohanzee and Oregon from the Dryheads. They continue down there this week.
And Norte!
Hi Gina, Sorry, I just saw this. Yes, they are still continuing down in the Dryhead. I am working on a post that will show all of the horses removed so far. Hope to have it up sometime today!
Hi Gina. I just made a post with all the horse that have been removed as of today.
