Nevada is famous for its wild horses, particularly the mustangs that roam the state's open ranges.

The state's vast, arid landscapes provide an ideal habitat for these free-roaming horses. The wild mustangs are a symbol of Nevada's rugged frontier spirit and have become an iconic part of the American West. These horses are protected under federal law, with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) overseeing their management and preservation. Nevada is home to the largest population of wild horses in the U.S., and they can be found in several areas, including the Nevada Wild Horse Range.
