Mustang Mission

Exciting News! 🥳 After several months of never-ending paperwork and research, I’ve finally obtained 501(c)3 nonprofit status for Mustang Mission!  This means that your donations are now tax deductible! Being a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization opens up opportunities that will enable us to expand our mission.  Together, our work to save the lives of wild equines all over the country can continue to grow and make a lasting difference. ❤️ To celebrate this achievement, everyone who donates in August will be entered in a giveaway to win a set of greeting cards featuring one of Ember’s paintings!  Any donation is eligible (never underestimate the value of $5!).   Here are a few different ways you can donate: Fundraising Platform PayPal: @mustangmission Check (contact me for our address) Apple Pay or Cash App: 912-659-0548 —————————— God greatly blessed my efforts by allowing my applications to be approved in a very short time.  While 501(c)3 applications can take ...

There are thousands of older mustangs in holding and most people won’t even consider giving one a home, and I understand why.  I’ve trained an older gelding myself - it’s not easy.  I’ve seen many older mustangs be passed up for adoption multiple times or sold for as little as $25.  They’re unwanted by most people. That’s one of the main reasons why I started Mustang Mission, to give these older mustangs a chance .  On this Giving Tuesday, will you consider donating to our facilities expansion fund to enable us to continue rescuing older mustangs?  Even a donation of $5 would be a huge help and we have a gift for you, too! It’s been almost a year since I won Alamo on the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) online horse auction.  When I began browsing through the auction a year ago, I decided that I would choose between three older geldings.  One was dark brown, one black, and then there was Alamo.  After much prayer, thought, and speaking with a per...

Thank you so much for your donations, kind words, prayers, and support! Rune is safe and in the care of a wonderful mustang trainer, who is keeping her for a few days. I am so grateful to God for working everything out. It is a comfort to know that He loves and cares for each of these animals. Four days ago, Rune was the typical mustang in the horse slaughter trade - her future looked grim. Now, her future is filled with hope because of your generosity and prayers! However, we are still raising funds for round pen panels and Rune’s care. Again, thank you so very much! I pray that God blesses each one of you abundantly! ~Erin Phillips

Hello Everyone! Thank you all for your incredible support, prayers, and kindness! It is such a blessing to see so many people come together for a little mustang. Tomorrow morning is when I have to decide whether I can take Rune or not. Please take a moment to pray and share Rune’s fundraiser with your friends and family - it will save a life!   We want to say “yes” and defy the odds against Rune instead of saying “no” and allowing her to be slaughtered within a week. She is the face of so many mustangs in kill pens, and it is my hope that her story will inspire others to pass the SAFE Act and end horse slaughter. Please share our fundraiser for Rune! Thank you again for your incredible kindness shown to this beautiful wild horse. ~Erin Phillips

  This little mustang, Rune, needs your help!  We have until Friday to get her out from a kill pen in Kentucky, before she ships to be slaughtered.  Rune was gathered from Nevada a of couple years ago, and has been let down by humans ever since.  She is a mustang with so much potential and doesn't deserve such a horrific ending.  As a "nationally protected icon" Rune shouldn't even be in this terrible situation.  She should still be living wild and free with her family band in Nevada. It is our goal to rescue this little mustang, defy what her grim future looks like now, and give her the best home she's ever known out of the wild.  Giving her a happy ending requires community effort - please donate if you can and please share this fundraiser with others.  It will cost $600 just to bail her out.  We will be quarantining her on our property, but we need funds for vet care, transport, feed, and hay.  Please consider helping Rune - it would ...

Mustang Mission Rescue Update: There are several older mustangs up for sale this month by the Bureau of Land Management, and I would like to adopt one. Will you consider making a donation to help me get the rescue property ready for a mustang that is in danger of going to slaughter or a bad home? I would be grateful for your prayers and help with sharing Mustang Mission’s fundraiser. Any contribution will help to reach $5,000 by October 31! Your donations will be used to purchase: - Eight loads of dirt - A round pen - Wood to enclose a shelter If you know of anyone willing to donate any of these items, please feel free to give them my contact information. Mustang #7903 Mustang #7903 is from the Onaqui Mountain HMA (Herd Management Area) and was captured on July 16 of this year. He is 11 years old and Sales Eligible, which makes him more likely to be bought and end up in the slaughter pipeline. Red Bird’s Trust (who is working to find each of these mustangs good homes) said that older...

Hello, I’m Erin Phillips, a life-long animal lover and owner!  My love for wild horses began with the “Cloud, Wild Stallion of the Rockies” documentaries I would watch with my family when I was five years old.  I remember the thrill of watching wild horses race across their range in freedom, then the sadness when the whole herd faced a government roundup by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).  Wild horse bands (families) were separated from each other, and stallions would desperately fight to return to their mares and foals. Two stallions living out their life in freedom - unless the BLM decides to remove them. For awhile, we didn’t watch those documentaries again (probably due to how much we had watched them!), and although I always knew that wild horses and burros graced our western plains, I almost forgot about them and their struggles.  Then, in 2017, I began thinking about Cloud and his family again and found The Cloud Foundation’s website.  There were man...
