The Onaqui Mountains Herd Management Area (HMA) in Utah is home to one of the most iconic and visited wild horse populations in the United States. Spanning over 240,000 acres, this area is known for its breathtaking landscapes and the unique accessibility it offers to visitors and photographers. The Onaqui wild horses are cherished symbols of freedom and are managed under a fertility control program aimed at maintaining a sustainable population. However, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has proposed controversial roundups to remove a significant portion of this herd, raising concerns about the impact on family dynamics and the overall health of the population. The American Wild Horse Campaign advocates for humane management practices to protect these beloved horses and preserve their natural habitat.
