Finding Wild Horses in Montana

Return to Finding Wild Horses here for tips on visiting the range and to find herds in other states
There is one wild horse herd remaining in Montana:

• Pryor Mountains Wild Horse Range is 50 miles south of Billings, MT and 10 miles north of Lovell, WY

Pryor Mountains Wild Horse Range
Size: 38,000 acres
Number of wild horses the BLM deems appropriate for the herd area is 90-120
To reach the Pryor herd area from Billings, take Highway 310 south to Lovell, Wyoming, turn east onto Alt. Route 14, then north on State Route 37.  This will lead you up into the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area and the road is suitable for all vehicles.  This is a beautiful scenic area and there are lookouts over the gorgeous canyon to the east.  Before leaving Lovell you might consider stopping in town at the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center to look around, ask questions, and pick up a map.  They should be able to tell you where the horses have recently been seen.

You might see horses in the area along State Route 37 once you have entered the herd area.  In addition to possibly seeing horses along the paved road, there is a loop to the west and north that goes up into the mountains where additional bands of wild horses can be found.  This is a very rugged road and you will need a high clearance, 4WD vehicle with good tires.  I took the southern loop and it was filled with huge rocks, ruts, and I did get a flat tire.  Thankfully I had a spare on hand to get back down the mountain but I never did get to see any Pryor horses.  I plan to return and will update this page at that time.

You can pay to take a tour up the mountain and they will know where to look for the horses.  I recommend this if you do not have a suitable vehicle.  Just Google Pryor wild horse tours and choose one of the tour operators.  I can say the drive is absolutely gorgeous.
