Ridgecrest Regional Wild Horse & Burro Corrals 

Wild Horses

Established in 1982, through cooperation with the Naval Weapons Station and Death Valley National Park, this facility is designed to support wild horse and burro management activities throughout the three state region of Southern California, Nevada and Arizona.

There are twenty-two wild horse and burro herd management areas located throughout Southern California. Professional Wranglers based from this facility perform roundups throughout the year in order to keep these herd management areas in thriving ecological balance with their habitat. At this facility, captured animals are prepared for adoption which includes vaccinations, worming and blood tests and branding. During this 30 - 45 day period, the animals are fed daily, acclimating the animals to domestically grown hay. On an average year, the corrals will prepare more than 1,000 animals.Wild Horse

The corral facility sits on 57 acres of Navy withdrawn and BLM lands just four (4) miles east of Ridgecrest CA., on the Randsburg-Wash Road off California Highway 178. The facility business hours are Monday through Friday, from 7:30 am to 4:00pm and closed all federal holidays.

The facility is available for individual and group tours and has a nice little dirt perimeter road allowing the motorist a quality view of the animals.
