The Bureau of Land Management has announced that it will offer a public tour of the Indian Lakes Off-Range Corral in Fallon, Nevada, on March 7. This is one of three facilities in Nevada that provide care to wild horses and burros removed from the range, including horses recently gathered from the Fish Creek Herd Management Area (HMA) in Eastern Nevada.

The public tour is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. PST and will last approximately two hours. The tour will accommodate up to 20 people. Spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. The public can sign up to attend and get driving directions to the facility by calling the BLM at 775/475-2222.

About a 90-minute drive east of Reno, the Indian Lakes Off-Range Corral is located at 5676 Indian Lakes Road, Fallon, and is privately owned and operated. Tour attendees will be taken around the facility as a group on a wagon to learn about the facility, the animals, and the BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program.

Tour attendees will also have the opportunity to observe 102 mares associated with the recent gather of wild horses at the Fish Creek HMA. The mares have been treated with a fertility-control vaccine porcine zona pellucida and are slated to be released back into the Fish Creek HMA. They are being temporarily held at the facility pending resolution of an appeal to the Interior Board of Land Appeals seeking prevention of the mares’ release back into the Fish Creek HMA
