  • If I Had a Horse, How Different Life Would Be,  Melissa Sovey-Nelson, Willow Creek Press, Minocqua, Wisconsin, 2004—a beautiful book of quotes and pictures – great for a gift, comes with a DVD as well
  • Around the Sacred Sea, Mongolia and Lake Baikal on Horseback,  Bartle Bull, Canongate Books Limited, Edinburgh, 1999   -- a wonderful true adventure of a group of men who circled Lake Baikal (in Russia) on horseback.  More about the locale than the horses.  Large format with pictures.

BLM LINKS

http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/wild_horse_and_burro/events.html  This link will provide you with the adoption schedule for the U.S.  Most of these are satellite adoptions where the BLM brings animals to towns closer to the population.  At these adoptions, you can take your trailer and adopt on the day the adoption occurs.

http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/wild_horse_and_burro/adoption_of_wild_horses/how_to_adopt.html   This link gives you the information you’ll need in order to be ready when the time comes.

If you are in California, there are two holding facilities that you can make appointments with, take your horse trailer to, and adopt. 

 In Northern California, there is the Litchfield holding facility which is about 18 miles up 395 from Susanville.  Their number is: 1(800) 545-4256. 

In Southern California there is the Ridgecrest Holding Facility.  It is located just outside of Ridgecrest, CA.  Their number is:  1 (760) 384-5765.

For out of state, there is the Palomino Valley Corrals.  Their number is: 775-475-2222.  At PVC, you make an appointment, go there to adopt, and then make arrangements to pick the animal up at a later date.
