- Be 18 years of age or older
- Have no prior violations of
adoption regulations or convictions of inhumane
treatment to animals.

animals at one facility at any time without written
permission.
- Have received Title to all
eligible animals previously adopted.
- Be financially able to properly
house, feed, and provide veterinary and farrier care
for the animal(s).
CORRAL
Facilities must meet these
requirements and be constructed before your application
will be approved:
- An outside corral with a minimum
of 400 square feet (20x20) per animal. Corral should
not be too large (more than 50x50), as animals are
easier to gentle in smaller corrals.
- All fences and gates must be at
least 6 feet high for wild horses over the age of 18
months. Five foot high fences are allowed for
gentled horses, yearlings, and burros.
- Fencing material should be 2x6
inch wooden planks spaced no more than one foot
apart, rounded pipes, poles, or similar materials
that do not pose a hazard to the animal. Small mesh,
heavy gauge, woven wire fencing with a 2x6 inch
board along the top, center and bottom is
acceptable. No barb wire, no electric wire, no
T-posts. Once gentled, the animals may be maintained
in pastures or in box stalls with daily turnout.
SHELTER
Shelters can be a three-sided shed
attached to the corral, or box stall in barn attached to
corral, allowing animal to move freely between the
corral and shelter. Shelter or stall space should be at
least 12 X 12 feet per animal.
TRANSPORTATION
- Adopters must provide their own
vehicles or make private arrangements.
- Standard covered stock trailers
and horse trailers large enough for 4 or more horses
are generally acceptable, contingent on final
approval prior to loading. NO 1-HORSE TRAILERS. Two
horse trailers are not allowed unless they are a
stock type, with no internal dividers. Animals will
ride loose and must have enough space to turn
around.
- No pick ups with stock racks.
- Lengthwise and slant-load
dividers must be removed.
- NO DROP RAMP TAIL GATES ARE
ALLOWED
PAYMENT
- Payment may be made by cash,
check, money order, Visa, or MasterCard.
- The adoption fee is the amount
of your winning bid. In Oklahoma it is usually
always $125.00.
HALTERS
- Halters will be put on the
animal by the BLM staff or contractor if requested,
and must be provided by adopters.
YOUR
FACILITIES MAY BE INSPECTED PRIOR TO OR AFTER ADOPTION.
FACILITIES AND ANIMALS MAY BE INSPECTED AT ANY TIME
