Topic: Standing Strong for the Wyoming Checkerboard Wild Horses

Wyoming’s ”Checkerboard” wild horses are at the center of a conflict between wild horse advocates and local ranchers over land management. Recent actions include a large-scale removal of over 3,000 horses by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) mid 2025

"Wyoming Checkerboard Wild Horses" refers to herds in a unique land-ownership area in southwestern Wyoming where public and private land are mixed like a checkerboard. These horses are the subject of ongoing controversy, with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposing large-scale removals for land health, which has led to lawsuits and temporary reprieves for the horses. Recent court decisions have supported the BLM's plans, but legal challenges have delayed or canceled some roundups. 

Court rulings: A judge has ruled in favor of the BLM, allowing for management changes to the checkerboard, which advocates are appealing.

Roundup delays: Some roundups have been postponed, including a planned "zero out" roundup for the Salt Wells Creek and Adobe Town herds, which has been delayed until at least the summer of 2026.
