Check for WP:LAYOUT: Done
- Check for Body sections: WP:BODY, MOS:BODY. Done
- Check for Headings and sections: Done
- Heading 2 History is not accurate because from Heading 3 BLM management and private ownership onwards, the timeline is from 2007 to 2013. Refer this FA - Marwari horse, Heading 2 is History and Heading 3 is 1900s to today which renders clarity to the timeline. Also refer this FA - Andalusian horse, Heading 2 is History and "Heading 3"s are Early development, Dissemination, etc..
- In this case, I'd recommend using BLM as Heading 2 instead of History. In the History section, after the statement "In 1971, the Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act was passed ...", BLM becomes the focal point.
