The corrals outside Susanville reopened after winter storm damage forced its closure in early February.
The visitor center’s lobby area sustained damage, and repairs have just wrapped up, allowing animal viewing, adoptions, and purchases to resume.
The BLM says that the facility has held about 600 animals, primarily wild horses, from ranges in northeast California and northwest Nevada as of mid-March. They note that the numbers will decline as animals are provided for adoption events in the coming weeks. Information on available animals and adoption appointments is available from the corral at 530-254-6575.
The corral is located just 21 miles east of Susanville on U. S. Highway 395. It welcomes visitors on a drop-in basis for animal viewing but requires appointments for adoptions or purchase of qualifying horses or burros.
Hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, except federal holidays.
To qualify, adopters must be at least 18 years old and have facilities that meet the BLM’s requirements. You can learn more about this on the BLM’s wild horse and burros adoptions and sales webpage.
