PARK CITY, Utah — On an 8-acre piece of land in Park City, Sonya Richins has built a new home for her growing family, a sanctuary, as she calls it, where she’s brought three horses, out of the wild, but free from captivity. “I call it wild horse fever,” Richins said. “I just will do anything for these horses.” She adopted her trio from wild horse herds in Utah and Nevada, where government roundups of the animals left their fate undetermined. “In one moment, the horses are grazing, they’re wild and free,” Richins said. “All of a sudden, a helicopter comes in and their life changes as they know it.” The scheduled gatherings of horses are just one of the tactics the Bureau of Land Management is using to try to keep up with their growing population. However, budget cuts have made even that effort more difficult.
