What's going on with Oregon's wild herds?

(September 25, 2023) There’s a lot to be discovered in Oregon. While the state is known for its hauntingly beautiful Pacific Northwest fog, its vast forests, rugged and wild coastline, and boundless outdoor adventures, many don’t know about the wild horses who roam the high desert.
