In a report by Phil Whilte of the Star-Tribune in Wyoming, a 23,000-acre ranch west of Laramie was found to have nine horses in below-average condition and one horse that could not rise and was euthanatized, according to a report from the Bureau of Land Management released Feb. 2. (For a previous article on this visit www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=8717).

USDA veterinarian Al Kane said in the report that a group of veterinarians and state livestock board officials “viewed more than half of the 330 horses kept by the Wild Horse Wyoming LLC at the Sheep Mountain Ranch” and that the officials found “the vast majority” in good condition.

Another inspection was recommended in three to four weeks unless weather became severe. The report quoted Kane as saying the horse that was euthanitized was about 25 years old and was not starved due to lack of food.
