The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Oregon’s Vale District is postponing a planned gather of wild horses in the Three Fingers herd management area (HMA).

The gather was expected to start on July 26, but that has been postponed to a tentative date of Aug. 23.

The objective of the gather is to capture 100 wild horses from the Three Fingers HMA and return 50 horses (25 stallions and 25 mares) to the range to re-establish the appropriate management level (AML) following the gather. The herd population is currently estimated at 202; the AML for the area is 75–150 wild horses.

The Three Fingers HMA is approximately 25 miles south of Vale, Oregon. The HMA is bordered on the west by the Owyhee Reservoir, on the south by the Leslie Gulch Road, and on the north by the Owyhee Dam
