The wild horses of northeastern California were protected by federal law in the early 1970's, stating that although they are an introduced species they are a valuable resource and part of the American West's identity.
The mad lads in federal management attempt to fence in the horses with cheap barbwire, even around sensitive freshwater springs. The growing population of horses is steadily changing the ecology of the land through overgrazing and the trampling of springs.
As a result, the level of management of these wild herds is increasing. If you want a horse, they are sometimes rounded up and sold at low cost.
