Waltman, 32, began training horses as a teenager. He has worked seasonally in the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program, and has a deep understanding of mustangs and burros. During the adoption event, the BLM will offer 40 mustangs, mostly yearlings, and 10 burros for adoption. Horse and burro fanciers can adopt animals from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The adoption event is being held in conjunction with the Back Country Horsemen of California Rendezvous, also at the fairgrounds. Vendors, exhibits and demonstrations are part of that event. Wild horses being offered for adoption are from public land herds in northeast California and northwest Nevada. These herd areas are known for producing good-sized wild horses suitable for pleasure riding, back country packing and competition. The burros are from southern California. Animals will arrive at the fairgrounds for previewing at about 2 p.m. Friday, March 20. -BLM- Northern California Public Affairs 2950 Riverside Drive Susanville, CA 96130
