Description
A wild horse from the McCullough Peaks herd near Cody, Wyoming.
The plains east of Cody, Wyoming are home to a herd of wild mustangs with possible ties to “Buffalo Bill” Cody. The horses live in the Bureau of Land Management’s McCullough Peaks Wild Horse Herd Management Area. It consists of 110,000 acres and is home to about 120 horses. Some of the horses are descendants of Spanish horses and some may have ties to the horses from Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show as well as other local ranch stock. Tests have shown the horses may have a bloodline from the Cleveland Bay Breed, established by England’s royal family. Cody was given some of the horses by the Queen to use in his show. During the off season he pastured his horses in the McCullough Peaks and they may have bred with the horses in that area.
