Adoption Option

An average old gal from the heartland provided information on the BLM’s mustang adoption center at the Eastern States Holding Facility located in Ewing, IL.

Since November 2003, Ewing has been home to the only permanent facility east of the Mississippi River where people can adopt wild horses can be adopted. The adoption center is about 100 miles southeast of St. Louis, just south of Mount Vernon on I-57. It is open to the public five times a year. The application for adoption is available to download.

For more information & a schedule for the year, check on the BLM’s website. Their Ewing telephone number is (800) 370-3936.

A much better alternative to the company in DeKalb – located in our own backyard – to protect a noble breed.
