We have too many wild horses. But this is no way to thin the herd.

The obvious question: How many wild horses and burros are too many? Currently, more than 79,000 wild horses and about 15,000 burros roam about 26 million acres in 10 states, according to the bureau’s latest figures. Ideally, experts say, both populations combined would be about 27,000. In other words, we are oversupplied.
