The Bureau of Land Management has announced that visits to the Litchfield
Wild Horse and Burro Corrals near Susanville will be by appointment only, effective immediately.
Those wishing to view animals available for adoption or purchase can reserve a time by calling 530-

Staff at the facility, 21 miles east of Susanville on U. S. Highway 395, will set visitor appointments on
weekdays between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m.
“We will do our best to accommodate visitors interested in considering horses and burros for
adoption, or just observing the animals,” said Emily Ryan, manager of the BLM Eagle Lake Field

The Litchfield Off Range Corral serves as a regional adoption preparation center for animals removed
from the range in BLM’s work to manage public land wild horse and burro herds at sustainable levels.
It has a capacity of 1,000 animals.
