Delta Wild Horse and Burro Corral
The Delta holding pens can be found in the town of Delta off N 350 W Rd. The facility is open to the public Monday - Thursday by appointment only. You can call 435-864-4068 to make your appointment, and they limit it to 2 per day. Once there you can park in front of the office and either let them know you are there or begin to walk to the corrals and an employee will come out to you. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like about the horses, burros, and the facility itself.
The wild horses and/or burros at the facility will have either been recently traumatized by a roundup or will have been there for a few months waiting to be adopted. They may be skittish or accept handfuls of hay from you. It is best to use a low, quiet voice and don't make sudden movements so as not to spook them. You are welcome to take photos and video while you are there.
