[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 604618, member: 1726"] I just saw a special where some prison out west is capturing wild mustangs and fixing their feet and any health issues then training them. They then sell them to willing buyers. They apparently do many, many a year. Also there is the Extreme Mustang challenge every year. Here is an exert from this years: [b]All Mustangs that participated in the Extreme Mustang Makeover were available for adoption on September 23. The horse that fetched the highest adoption fee was Hail Yeah ridden by Norco, Calif.-trainer Ray Ariss. Hail Yeah was adopted for $50,000, which makes him the highest-priced Mustang in the history of the BLM’s adoption program.[/b] Trainers were reimbursed up to $500 for costs related to hauling, training and medical expenses for the Mustangs in training. Trainers also received 15 percent commission on the amount of the adoption bids exceeding $200. The rest of money goes back to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to help support lands and wild horses. Very little tax dollars go into this endeavor. Very much like the the millions used for land presevation coming from hunters. Many of the ones I saw were well into the thousands of dollars for adoption fees. Now, I vote open the slaughter houses back up also. [/QUOTE]
