Wild horses run through the gates to the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Posse Arena, where they will be up for adoption Friday and Saturday. These horses are among 80 wild horses and burros, available for adoption, that once roamed free on public lands in the West. The Bureau of Land Management's Wild Horse and Burro adoption program travels throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico. The majority of the horses come from Nevada, but about ten horses available this weekend are from a Soccorro herd. Competitive bidding begins Friday at 10 a.m. Minimum adoption fee for each wild horse and burro is $125. (AP Photo/The Albuquerque Journal, Marla Brose)
