Wild horses are the stuff of American myth — but unbeknownst to some, large herds of mustangs still roam the West today. In fact, the Bureau of Land Management has attempted to control wild horse numbers for decades with a costly program of roundups and long-term holding that its critics view as mismanaged. We’ll listen back to a conversation with Dave Philipps about his 2017 book, “Wild Horse Country,” dives into the history, the myth and the future of wild horses in the West.
