The Deerwood Ranch, located outside Centennial, along WYO 130 in Albany County, invites the public to experience the beauty and spirit of Wyoming’s wild horses during its annual Open Day on Saturday, September 27, 2025.
The event will take place from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The Wyoming Cowboys football game will kick off at 5 p.m. So, there will be plenty of time to stop and see the horses.
This family-friendly event is free to attend and requires no reservations. Visitors are encouraged to meet at the Hay Barn, located 30 miles west of Laramie in the scenic Centennial Valley.
Home to more than 350 BLM wild horses, Deerwood Ranch is a privately operated sanctuary dedicated to caring for the horses.
Throughout the day, BLM representatives will be on site to answer questions and approve adoption applications. Non-gentled BLM yearlings and two-year-olds (both male and female) will be available for adoption, along with one burro who is seeking a new home.
Guests can enjoy a smoked meat lunch provided by Dave Herring from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with proceeds benefiting the Shawn Herring Memorial Foundation. Cash is encouraged for lunch purchases.
