Horses were captured during the Soda Fire

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Federal officials plan to release 45 wild horses in southwestern Idaho later this month in an event that’s open to the public.

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management in a news release Friday says the horses will be released in three different locations south of Marsing.

Those interested should meet at the I-O-N Truck Plaza in Marsing at 10 a.m. on May 29 to drive to the release location.

The agency says 279 wild horses were captured in 2015 following the 436-square-mile (1,130-square-kilometer) Soda Fire. Eighty of those horses were adopted by private entities.
