Bible Springs herd's lineage is based in ranching and mining stock. Colors vary from pintos to palominos, and buckskins.  The herd is located approximately 45 miles West of Cedar City,

Blawn Wash Herd is located 25 miles west of Beaver, Utah. The herd is from ranch and homesteading stock. Colors are sorrels, bays, and browns. Unique to this herd are sorrels with flaxen (blonde) manes and tails.  In 2000 the main portion of the Blawn Wash HMA was given the state of Utah through a land exchange. Because most of the forage and water within the HMA is now controlled by the state and we could not get an agreement with the state to allow a portion of the water and forage to be allocated to
wild horses, the HMA AML is now set at 0.  The current estimated population within the Blawn Wash HMA is 81 head. There is some good color in Blawn Wash HMA.

The Bonanza Wild Horse Herd Area is in the Utah Book Cliffs Resource Management Plan Amendment, area.

Chloride Herd is  a very small HMA that has historically been grey horses. They are typically dark when younger, and get very light upon maturity. This HMA is one of only a few areas within BLM management that we have ever documented having horse that were getting inbred.  A few solid color horses have been turned out into the area to increase the genetic variability inside the HMA. Some grey horse still exist.

The Frisco HMA is managed by the Cedar City BLM. The horses weigh 700-1000 pounds. The Frisco HMA (another small HMA) historically had sorrel & chestnut horses with blaze faces and socks. Also many roan horses were found across the region. It has since been modified by BLM
introductions to keep the genetic variability high, and prevention of any type of inbreeding.

The Four Mile area has again a mix of colors from pintos, duns, bays, blacks, sorrels, palomino, etc. Most of the color variation was brought into the area by BLM. Historically the herd was made up of bay, blacks & sorrels.

Mt. Elinor HMA located in Iron County. HMA is a small finger along the Utah - Nevada border. It has primarily transient horses that come in and out of the Deer Lodge Canyon & Wilson Creek HMA's of Nevada. You may chance in seeing many pheno types, but a strong base of bay, black, and sorrel.

North Hills HMA shares two counties, Washington & Iron. The North Hills HMA is managed in conjunction with the USFS (North Hills Territory) Colors you'll find vary including dun, grulla, pinto, roans, your typically bay, black & sorrel. There have been introductions into the area from several different HMA's (including Sulphur, Chloride, and Bible Springs). There have also been reports (including recently) that private individuals have dumped horses off into the HMA (both private and wild) illegally.

The Tilly Creek here has historically been solid bay horses, with some black & sorrels. We have over the years gotten some horses coming into the area from Nevada (from the Deer Lodge Herd Area). These horses have had some "chrome" (white socks, blaze faces, etc.)  that has been introduced into the area. Some out of place grey and roan horses come in. The herd still is primarily bay & black.

Winter Ridge is managed by the Vernal Field Office. According to the Book Cliffs (Utah) Resource Management Plan, The AML is only 120 Mustangs on 46,500 acres in the Winter Ridge herd area.
