Here’s a video we did on the Bridger – Teton stock program to try to raise support for stock use internally.

pac2Horses are used all over the National Forest System, especially in the west to get work done on trails and in Wilderness areas. What’s interesting about the Blackrock Ranger Station in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming, is the way they get such specialized horses. They use wild mustangs that have been rounded up off of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and given to the Forest Service for free as weanlings or yearlings and then they train them to do work in the Wilderness.
