What kind of conflicts may exist between wildlife and wild horses on the NWHF Ranch?
Very little conflict is anticipated. Wild horses have roamed tens of millions of acres in the West for hundreds of years without conflict with other animals native to North America. Water sources are numerous on the ranch so there is no concern of horses limiting the availability of water for wildlife species. Open spaces are plentiful for horses and wildlife in the spring, summer, and fall, but limited in the winter. The NWHF Ranch is very fortunate to have one third of the ranch as winter range, including the hay meadows and irrigated fields. Most of the winter range is private land which will accommodate both horses and wildlife needs during the harsh winters of major snow events and sub zero weather. Elk, deer, and horses will concentrate on the private land winter range during these major winter events, which is critical to their survival.
