In 2013, the BLM announced plans to remove the wild horses in the Fish Springs area due to public safety issues and resident complaints. Due to strong community support for wild horses in the Fish Springs area, over the past two years, the BLM has worked with AWHPC and the Gardnerville-based Pine Nut Wild Horse Advocates to establish a pilot program to manage the Fish Springs horses through birth control
