Calico Herd
Captured in December 28, 2009- February 4, 2010 in the infamous Calico roundup – over 1700 horses were taken from their range in The Calico Mountain Complex in Northwestern Nevada’s Black Rock Conservation area. Over 140 wild horses died as a result of this roundup.
These horses are a testimony to the enduring spirit of the diverse strains of the horses that helped develop our Great Basin Ranchos and mixed with breeds used for the Cavalry. They have adapted to the rugged and remote terrain and returned to a natural state over the last two hundred years
