Montgomery Pass Wild Horses aka Mono Lake

Montgomery Pass Wild Horses also known as the Mono Lake Wild Horses are located at the Nevada- California border along Hwy 120 E and US Hwy 6. Managed by both US Forest Service and the BLM. The AML  for this area is 138- 230. 

Private Land owners have requested all horses along Hwy 120 E and US Hwy 6 be removed.

Based on EA and public comments the Forest Service has decided to remove the Wild Horses, not taking in account the comments against the removal.

The USFS stated that they realize and appreciate the emotional connection stakeholders have to Wild Horses and the value of the MPWHT herd as a valued resource  and decision to address the excess horses has been emotional and challenging  to balance all the desires of their many stakeholders.  They stated they received numerous impassioned pleas not to remove the horses along with suggestions for planning.  Stated they took into consideration all public comments but cannot wait for plan updates, they will need to immediately remove the excess Wild Horses due to Several Horse- vehicle collisions.
