In 2026, the Bureau of Land Management celebrates 28 years of partnering with the Mantle Family to train and gentle wild horses for adoption. Each year, the Mantle Ranch Adoption and Training Facility cares for approximately 200 wild horses of varying ages and sexes, preparing them for successful adoption. The Mantle Ranch is a family-owned operation founded by Steve Mantle, who began working with wild horses in the 1980s. Over the years, Steve has passed his knowledge and experience to his son, Bryan, and other family members. Today, Bryan and his wife, Katie, continue the family tradition, working alongside the BLM to prepare wild horses for adoption. More than half of the facility’s adoptions are coordinated online, while prospective adopters are also welcome to visit the facility by appointment. The Mantle family’s training philosophy em- phasizes safety, patience, and consistency. By first observing each horse’s behavior, they develop an individualized training approach designed to build trust and prepare every horse for its next chapter with a new owner. The Mantle Family
