Wild horses in the pine mountains.

With the arrival of the cooler weather, the ligaments of the fish springs Wild horses will probably approach residential areas, streets and rural real estate in Lyon, Douglas and Carson.
“Our wild horses have roamed these countries for centuries, and autumn is their time to follow the instincts that are passed on over generations,” said Mary Cioffi, President of Pine Nut Wild Horse. “We love to share this landscape with them, but a little awareness helps everyone are safe and healthy. By securing water, hay and fruit, we not only protect the horses, we honor their freedom and avoid expensive BLM summary and distance, the taxpayers costs millions of spectators and puts our wild horses at the risk of control.”
Here are some tips to harmonize harmoniously this season:
- Water wise: Wild horses are attracted to reliable water such as ponds, troughs or decorative features in yards. If possible, you will secure them to avoid tempting thirsty bands. Remember that even a bird bath can lure you out of your way under dry fall conditions.
- Hay Haven: If you divide hay for your domestic animals with winter, they store it in covered, closed areas or behind stable fences. Loose bale or open stacks can not only attract horses, but also deer and other wild animals, which leads to overwhelm, digestive problems or conflicts. It is a quick solution that also keep your supplies intact.
- Fruit forward: With fruit gardens and fruit trees that drop their bounty at this time of year, they resist the urge to bring bottlenecks to open fields or paths near horse blissens. Overripe fruits such as apples or pears can lead to colic – a painful intestinal blockage – cause horses that are on them because they lack the ability to hand over like us. Colic is rare in the wild due to its natural food search, but the risk of easy access spills the risk. Instead, consider composting or relocation of scrap into bäregreundliche places that are far away from horse chains-is a victory for local wild animals without concern.
“These small actions prevent getting used to, in which horses lose their natural caution of people and streets and reduce the chances of vehicle collisions or stressful encounters,” said Cioffi. “If you recognize a band near your property, give you space (at least 100 feet), avoid feeding and to the lawyers of pine nuts at (775) 720-8200, we are here to help with gentle, non-invasive instructions, keep families together on their reach.”
Wild horses are safe in the hills of the pine mountains, they have to be held from being near houses and streets, said Cioffi.
“We know that you love to see you, but please don't try to connect with you by encouraging you to be near your house,” she said. “You may love to see wild horses, but your neighbor may not be. It only takes a complaint to remove it.”
