While the eastern United States don't have wild horse herds and Herd Management Areas on the scale of the western states, there are wild horse bands present, some of which are managed by private, non profit organizations. Additionally, the BLM operates an adoption center in Cross Plains, Tenn., where horses gathered from the western states are available for adoption. This facility also schedules satellite adoptions in other eastern states.
