Update on whereabouts of Saylor Creek Horses

My Note: I was able to obtain the information below from the WH&B specialist at Jarbidge. The folks there have actually turned out to be fairly cooperative about providing me with information.

Also, 14 deaths is a LOT of deaths. I'd like to know what happened to cause a nearly 8% mortality rate while in captivity, and the birth rate from those in captivity (22 foals from 194 gathered) is just around 11%.

Some of these mustangs went into the prison system facilities, one being Carson City and the other is Gunnision, (where it was just reported that the hoof care there was way below standards.)

Following our phone conversation this morning, I pulled a report from the database we use to track information about wild horses and burros. The following is where each wild horse gathered from the Saylor Creek last year is currently located as of the information available today.

Additionally there are 22 foals, two of which were adopted in Idaho. The rest are currently in Carson City.

If you have any other questions on this please let me know.

Thank You,
