Our goal is to show what great companions wild mustang horses can be. We rescue wild mustangs from the United States Bureau of Land Management, then we proceed to gentle, train and socialize the mustangs using techniques of natural horsemanship from our trainers Bruce Siben and Samantha Record, with the hopes of placing them into our lease to own program and finding their forever homes or they are placed in our ambassador herd used for visitor experiences, therapeutic programs, veteran program.
