Wild horses run free on the Sands Basin Herd Management Area About 13 miles southwest of Homedale. The herd's bay, brown and black horses also include some paints, pintos, chestnuts and even some Appaloosas.

There are tens of thousands of wild horses living in the west, including some inIdaho.

The U.S. Government mainly uses roundups to keep them from over-grazing the land, but advocacy groups want more of a focus on fertility control. The Mountain West News Bureau's Kaleb Roedel reports.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life!). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
