Opportunity Summary:
The Wyoming Honor Farm Wild Horse Care Training Agreement is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming State Office funding opportunity designed to support the humane care and practical training of captured wild horses. The central purpose is to create a structured, effective program that both ensures proper day-to-day care for wild horses that have been gathered and helps prepare those animals for successful placement afterward. That placement is intended to occur through adoption by members of the general public and, where appropriate, through assignment to agencies or programs that have a legitimate need for trained horses. In short, the agreement focuses on improving animal welfare while increasing the likelihood that gathered horses can transition into productive, manageable settings rather than remaining in long-term holding.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The activity falls under the Natural Resources category and is tied to CFDA 15.229, Wild Horse and Burro Resource Management. The announcement anticipates a single award, reflecting a targeted partnership approach rather than a broad, multi-recipient grant program. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, and the intended partner named in the notice is the Wyoming Honor Farm, indicating the BLMs plan to work with that specific state-affiliated entity to carry out the care and training mission.
The planned project period is five years, with a strict maximum duration of 60 months. Continued funding across that timeframe is not automatic; it is conditioned on two main factors. First, the recipient must demonstrate progress that BLM considers satisfactory toward the programs goals. Second, BLM must determine that continuing the effort remains in the governments best interest and that funds are available. This structure signals a performance-based relationship where ongoing support depends on measurable or observable outcomes in horse care, training, and successful preparation for adoption or service use.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $900,000 for the opportunity. It also lists an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $0, suggesting that individual funding actions or budget periods under the agreement may be structured in increments, potentially aligning with annual or phased funding decisions across the multi-year term. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning the recipient is not required by the announcement to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
