Cedar City Field Office (Sulphur HMA)

Sulphur HMA lies about 45 miles west of Milford, along the Nevada State line. The Sulphur Herd roams a vast, region of alternating high desert basins and expansive mountain ranges. Their home, the Needle Range, is a starkly beautiful mountain block that lies about 45 miles of Milford, Utah, along the Nevada State Line. In some areas, the range rises to nearly 10,000 feet in elevation. From north to south, the mountainous spine of the Needle Range is comprised of three main peaks: Mountain Home, Indian and Steamboat Peaks. Most of the horses are in the Mountain Home and Indian Peak portions of the range. The high country of Mountain Home Peak provides outstanding views of Hamlin Valley and Great Basin National Park. Sulphur horses are of strong Spanish ancestry. Sulphur Wild Horses are: usually around 14 hands high. The ears are medium to short, alert, often deeply hooked with dark rims. Colors are bay, black, dun, and grulla. Mane and tail may be bi-colored and the mane bi-directional. Dorsal stripe, sooty face, and "zebra stripes" on legs. Herd size of 135 to 180 head of adult horses above two years of age showing characteristics of the original Spanish barb. The horses have a short back, because they have only five lumbar vertebrae instead of six.
