Federal officials are considering euthanizing wild horses to deal with the growing population on the range and in holding facilities, authorities said Monday.
Wild horses have overpopulated public lands and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management can't afford to care for the number of mustangs that have been rounded up, said Henri Bisson, the agency's deputy director. Also, fewer people are adopting the horses, he said.

It seems the horses and the dogs have a curiousity about each other. Ava and Moonbeam followed Maddie, our Newfie, as she walked the fence around the pasture. As soon as the horses got close to the fence, Maddie scrambled. She is 140 lbs of pure chicken!...
