On the contrary out here, happy to report: vast open range here, there is plenty of forage for them ranging up into Idaho to Montana, down through Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico east to Colorado too much to mention all , range larger than many of eastern states and across much of the country, and the rivers are open to them. The BLM does use that excuse to gather them, claming not enough food or water.
It's hard, if you haven't wandered through the western states, to know how little of the land is populated.
The vast open areas are not devoid of plant life like the desert of Africa, plenty to eat.
We drove up into western Idaho beautiful lush green, then west into Oregon to pick up a hefer, there were small bands of horses all along.
Come take a look, thousands of miles of land we don't use, our wonderful animals do. Drive~ The Loneliest Highway in America, the old Pony Express Route, try old Route 66 it's still there as well.

It's true: we do like to have them come by for a chat asking for cutting from apple trees and such, sometimes they just want to show the colts what we look like.

Nevada gives out a pasport that can be stamped at the State Parks. While wifey's mum was here from down under we traveled thousands of miles, again, to visit the sites, almost nothing in between, small bands of horses can be seen along the way making a living, as the Lord desighed them, on country we would have to plant something softer to eat.
Americans should take a look at their country.
