If there’s a place in your heart for a mustang and you are ready to adopt, come to the Bureau of Land Management-Eastern States (BLM-ES) Wild Horse and Burro adoption on April 21- 22.

The BLM-ES will hold an adoption within a short drive from the Nation’s capital at the Meadowood Special Recreation Management Area, located at 10406 Gunston Road, Lorton, Virginia.

A variety of wild horses and burros will be available for adoption on a first come, first serve basis. Adoption applications will be accepted on site beginning Friday at 12 p.m. and may be submitted through Saturday. The horses and burros may be previewed on Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Adoptions will take place on Friday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Demonstrations from a wild horse trainer have been scheduled for this event.
