What kind of trailer is required to transport a wild horse or burro?
Adopters must provide transportation for their animal from the adoption site to the new home. Another person may transport the animal, but all trailers must meet these standards: • Covered top, sturdy walls/floors, and a smooth interior, free from any sharp protrusions • Ample head room • Partitions or compartments to separate animals by size and sex if necessary • Floor covered with non-skid material • Adequate ventilation Stock trailers are preferred, but other trailers that meet the standards may be used. Drop ramp and two horse trailers are strongly discouraged; some adoption centers may refuse to load a horse into a trailer so equipped. All trucks and trailers may be inspected by BLM before loading. If you have questions about the suitability of a trailer call the BLM office before adoption day.
