land. The HMAs is located in Owyhee County, south of the Snake River between Murphy and US Highway 95 to the west.  HMA characteristics include rolling hills and sagebrush steppe. The horses share the HMA with other wildlife, including deer, antelope and upland game birds.   </div><div> </div><div>Of all the HMAs the BLM adminsters, those in the Owyhee Field Office produce some of the finest wild horses. They are known to be of excellent size with good conformation and color.  This is the result of the influence of released Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse studs to the herds periodically up to 1978.  It is also suspected that horses bred for Cavalry Re-Mounts may have also influenced these herds.  In addition to the typical colors of bay, brown, and black, the wild horses include many chestnuts, pintos, paints, roans, grays, duns, grullos, and a few Appaloosas.</div><div> </div><div>Appropriate Mangement Levels (AMLs) for wild horses within the Black Mountain and Hardtrigger HMAs are 30-60 and 66-130, respectively (Owyhee RMP, December 1999).</div><div><p>Last gather for each HMA: Catch, Treat and Release Gather November 2010</p><p><img id="/etc/medialib/blm/id/wild_horses/black_mountain_hma#Par.29893.Image " height="267" alt="The Black Mountain HMA" width="400" align="middle" src="/web/20150619220245im_/http://www.blm.gov/style/medialib/blm/id/wild_horses/black_mountain_hma.Par.29893.Image.400.267.1.gif"/><br/><span class="blm1162486787864">A winter day on the Black Mountain HMA</span></p></div></span> <div style="clear:both;height:1px;font-size:1px;line-height:1px;"><br></div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><img height="15" width="1" src="/web/20150619220245im_/http://www.blm.gov/pgdata/libs/CFC/content/statics.0.gif"/></td></tr></table> </td><td></td><td valign="top" align="left"> <table> <tr> <td id="addNav" width="177px"> <div class="addNavItem"> <div class="sourceLink"><a class="sourceLink" href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/id/st/en/prog/wild_horses_/hmas.html">HMAs</a></div> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/id/st/en/prog/wild_horses_/hmas/four_mile_hma.html">Four Mile HMA</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/id/st/en/prog/wild_horses_/hmas/sands_basin_hma.html">Sands Basin HMA</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/id/st/en/prog/wild_horses_/hmas/hardtrigger_hma.html">Hardtrigger HMA</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/id/st/en/prog/wild_horses_/hmas/black_mountain_hma.html">Black Mountain HMA</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/id/st/en/prog/wild_horses_/hmas/saylor_creek_hma.html">Saylor Creek HMA</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/id/st/en/prog/wild_horses_/hmas/challis_hma.html">Challis HMA</a></li> </ul> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><img height="15" width="1" src="/web/20150619220245im_/http://www.blm.gov/pgdata/libs/CFC/content/statics.0.gif"/></td></tr></table> </td></tr></table>  </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td id="gradient" rowspan="4"> </td> <td id="right_bar" rowspan="3"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="menu" valign="top"><span class="lastupdated">Last updated: 08-12-2013</span></td> <td valign="top" width="750"></td> </tr>  <tr><td colspan="3"> </td></tr> <tr> <td id="footer_top" colspan="3"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150619220245/http://www.usa.gov/">USA.GOV</a>  |  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150619220245/http://www.doi.gov/pmb/eeo/no-fear-act.cfm">No Fear Act</a>  |  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150619220245/http://www.doi.gov/">DOI</a>  |  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150619220245/http://www.doi.gov/disclaimer.cfm">Disclaimer</a>  |  <a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/info/About_BLM.html">About BLM</a>  |  <a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/National_Page/Notices_used_in_Footer.html">Notices</a>  |  <a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/info/socialmedia/Socialmedia_policies.html">Social Media Policy</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4" id="footer_bottom"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150619220245/http://www.doi.gov/privacy.cfm">Privacy Policy</a>  |  <a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/res/FOIA.html">FOIA</a>  |  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150619220245/http://www.doi.gov/privacy_children.cfm ">Kids Policy</a>  |  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150619220245/mailto:BLM_ID_StateOffice@blm.gov">Contact Us</a>  |  <a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/National_Page/Notices_used_in_Footer/accessibility.html">Accessibility</a>  |  <a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/National_Page/site_maps/site_map_index.html">Site Map</a>  |  <a href="/web/20150619220245/http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en.html">Home</a> </td> </tr>  </table> </body> </html>
