The Little Humboldt Herd Management Area (HMA) in Nevada spans nearly 64,000 acres and is home to a population of wild horses, with an Appropriate Management Level (AML) set by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at 48-80 horses. This remote area has been a sanctuary for these horses for decades, believed to be descendants of ranch stock released during earlier ranching operations. The wild horses here exhibit a stunning variety of colors, including bays, buckskins, and paints, and they thrive in the harsh conditions of the high desert. However, they face challenges from competing livestock and habitat degradation, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.
