Forest Service to reduce wild horse population in Ochocos

PRINEVILLE — The U.S. Forest Service will reduce the wild horse population on a 27,000-acre range east of Prineville to a level horse advocates say could lead to the herd’s elimination. The most recent count of wild horses on the Big Summit Wild Horse Territory of the Ochoco National Forest puts the population around 130, but the Forest Service estimates it closer to 150. (Counts for the past two years have been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.) The management plan approved Friday, May 7, will cut the herd down to 47-57 horses total over the next five years. “We want to make sure that we manage this herd for its genetic viability,” said Kassidy Kern, public affairs officer for the Ochoco National Forest and Crooked River National Grassland. “We want to make sure it’s a healthy herd.”

Hanging in the balance January 19 2021 The wild horses in the Big Summit Territory are awaiting the final decision by the Forest Service to possibly thin the herd to 12-57 horses If you have ventured into the Big Summit area of the Ochoco Mountains, you have likely had the opportunity to see wild horses during your visit. The increase of the herd in recent years has sparked a debate on the management strategies of the horses, and a subsequent herd management plan by the ONF. The proposal to lower the herd to a high of 57 horses and as few as 12 has brought concern and push back from citizens and groups such as the Central Oregon Wild Horse Coalition.
