I am just wondering what is everyone opinion about the bill 'Restore Our American Mustangs Act' I have done a bit of research about it and I am for it. What do you say?

I looked up the closest herd to where I live and that herd is called the Cedar Mountains, I wanted to just copy a bit of information about that herd on to my blog. Its kinda neat to read about a herd that lives so close to you. Here is the info I found:

The vegetation on the upper elevations of the Cedar Mountains is comprised of junipers. The foothill and valley regions include mixed desert shrubs. Due to range fires during the past 10 years, the area is dominated by cheatgrass.

Wild horses have occupied the Cedar Mountains since the late 1800s. It is suggested that the original stock was controlled by the Standard Horse and Mule Company that provided remounts for the U.S. Army. However, many of the horses on the Cedar Mountains are descendants of horses that escaped from local ranches.

The dominant colors within the herd area are bay and black. Other colors found include sorrel, red and blue roan, buckskin, black, palomino, and gray pinto.

The wild horses on the Cedars are classified as average in size. Mares weight 750 to 800 pounds and stallions weigh 850 to 1000 pounds.

The BLM management goal for this herd is to maintain a herd size between 180 and 375 head.

Its been so much fun to watch my family's mustangs that they are working with in the TIP program flourish! I have watched them from day one when they were unloaded out of the horse trailer and not touchable to now they can be rode. Its amazing and the mustang is such a intelligent horse.

I live in Utah and the wild horse population is 2,724 and the wild burro population is 164. So that totals to 2,888! I was shocked to find out there are so many wild horses and burros in Utah.
