How Can I Find Out More Info About My BLM Mustang Mare?

You have most of the information already, but the number does indicate the location in Nevada where captured. In addition, you should have the title. If not, please contact the BLM to obtain it. They will help you with that. Be sure to do this as it is illegal to have a BLM without the title on hand. They won't get on you, but will help. Here is a link.

I am betting yours came from the Antelope Valley region near Elko, Nv.

You've got most of the info that the BLM would have on that particular horse. They don't normally have a ton of extra info on the animals. They're brought in and vetted and sorted and sent out for sale/adoptions but they don't note down particulars like exactly where the herd was at, what size herd, or anything like that.

Hallie's answer is pretty much correct. 22,000 horses to sort and care for and decide what/where/when means the understaffed offices don't have a ton of time and if they don't have that kind of information or you are very very clear and concise when you email, you're not likely to get much of a response.

At the time of adoption, you can often find out the location of the herd from which the horse came. This is interesting information to have because herds from different areas have different characteristics. I know someone that got some small but beautiful pintos out of Montana, and some herds in Nevada had draft stallions turned out with them and they can be drafty.

After who knows how many years and owners, it will be nearly impossible to find out anything about your mare, sorry to say. If you ever have the chance to go to Nevada, The Palomino Valley holding facility is huge (near Reno). There are many Mustangs of all shapes and sizes there. You may see some familiar looking horses.

Contact the lady you bought her from and ask her if she has her papers. If she never gave them to you when you bought her, then she most likely doesn't have any, therefor if you don't have her papers, you aren't gonna find out very much info about your mare.

I had the same problem with my mare, except she's been tossed around so much I don't even know if she was even ever registered. I wish you luck!

That is pretty much all you'll be able to find out. The blm doesn't keep a record of every fly that lands on their horses ***. They have over 22,000 horses in permanent holding facilities. They don't have time to deal with your e-mails asking for information that doesn't exist. If you want to know more talk to the woman you bought her from, she will be able to give you more information than a person working for the blm who has never even seen your horse.

What kind of information are you looking for? All the horses they release to the public undergo all the same vaccinations and health checks.

Hallies answer is pretty much spot on.
