Bureau of Land Management horse trail challenge
BLACKFOOT, Idaho (KIFI) - A horse and burro trail challenge was hosted in the Inland East Arena at the Eastern Idaho State Fair Friday.
4H and the Bureau of Land Management came together to provide all of these wild 4-H wild horse yearlings quite the challenge. Challenges included walking over tarp, side passing over a log, and loading into a trailer.
The first place winner was trainer Madelynn Anderson & her horse, Swade. Together they had been a great team and she stated this is one of the easiest horses she had ever trained.
These horses were all born just last year in 2020. They all came from the wild around Challis. They have only been trained for the past three months to get to this point, an incredible feat.
The next step for these horses will be for them to be auctioned Saturday at 11:30 a.m. at the grandstand at the Eastern Idaho State Fair.
This horse auction upcoming will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. During this time, the Bureau of Land Management gives thanks to value that wild horses present as a part of our national pastime and heritage.
The Bureau of Land Management has supplied now 75 years of sustained protection to public lands for everyone's enjoyment.
