Also requested was the location and brand numbers of all horses in holding from these gathers; the response was this, from the Ridgecrest Field Office;
“To the best of my knowledge, all wild horses gathered in the BLM Ely District during the 2009 season were transported to the short-term holding facility at Ridgecrest and no other. Our facility has processed 15 White River horses as of Nov. 6, 2009;
White River Horses Prepped as of Nov. 3, 2009;
