Our annual online auction is live and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you !  There are many wonderful items available that I think you’ll love.   I have enjoyed putting this auction together and I’m so grateful to those who have donated items.  Thank you so much!  Also, a huge thank you to our event sponsor, Green Horse Organics!  Two of their natural horse grooming products are available to bid on this week, as well. During the middle of this auction event, I will send out a very exciting announcement.  You do not want to miss out on it - trust me!

There has been a lot of change here at Mustang Mission as Rocket’s time with me has come to an end.  I knew it was going to be hard to part with Rocket, so I did many fun and memorable things with him in the days before he left.  I also had to take some nice photos of him for my 2024 Mustang Mission Calendar… The MacDonald’s came early in the morning so I could go over some last things with Rocket’s training.  Rocket did great - I was so happy with him! It was a bit difficult to load Rocket onto the trailer, but he traveled so well!  I wanted to be with Rocket when he made the transition to a new home, so my family joined me in following the MacDonalds to their farm.  I was happy to be able to watch Rocket the whole time and could tell that he stayed relaxed much of the time. Rocket settled in so quickly!  He absolutely loved the grass and looking out over the fields.  The other horses on the property were eager to meet Rocket and since Rocket needed a friend, Champ was brought in.  Th

Adopting a horse (or any animal) is not a decision to be taken lightly.  Here at Mustang Mission, we offer many benefits for the adopters of our wild equines.  We want our adopters to feel supported and to know how grateful we are that they have chosen to give a mustang a life-long home.  Our list of benefits below is just the beginning! ❤️  Lifetime support (training help, care and holistic equine welfare tips, etc.) ❤️  A formerly wild equine that will be your new best friend and a well-trained companion! ❤️  You will receive an adoption package: a free horse training course from a nationally recognized horse trainer, feed and supplements that the horse has been used to, flyers with a short story about your horse and its journey from the wild that you can share with others, and some special surprise add-ons depending on the horse you adopt! ❤️  Adopting a wild horse from Mustang Mission gives us the room to save another.  By adopting a mustang, you save a mustang! ❤️  The adoption fe

Ember is available for adoption!  This is your chance to own a very special little mustang!  Ember is great on the ground and has been started lightly undersaddle.  She is very well desensitized and absolutely loves people, attention, activity, and adventures.  She is very easy to handle and works hard to please people.  Ember is very good with children and has been a part of my family’s farm field trips for children.  She is easygoing, gentle, fun, curious, and brave - with a bit of spice! 😁 Ember is from the Goshute HMA (Herd Management Area) in Nevada.  She is 13hh and would be best suited for a smaller rider.  Despite her size, though, she is very strong and has a long stride!  Instead of listing all that Ember can do, I’ve made a video for you to watch ! Ember’s adoption fee is $2,000.  If you are interested in Ember, you can fill out our adoption application .  Or, email me at mustangmissionrescue@gmail.com if you have any questions!

Throughout the past two years, I have obtained all the online knowledge I can about gentling and training mustangs, but have never been able to do hands-on training with an experienced mustang trainer.  I have learned so much from the mustangs I've been training, but I know that I need to do better for them.  I want to be sure that I clearly communicate with them when I'm training them, and that I never cause confusion or fear.  There are a few issues I've experienced that would be extremely helpful to have an experienced trainer help me through. This September, I have the opportunity to learn from one of America's most popular and talented mustang trainers, Sam VanFleet.  She would spend a day teaching me as I work with my mustangs.  It is incredibly important to me to make this happen.  It would make a huge difference in the lives of all the mustangs that I train and help them as they transition to life in a domesticated world. However, this training opportunity will

I’m so excited to share this interview with you!  Recently, I was nominated for and received Dr. Karen Becker’s Game Changer Award.  As a recipient of the award, Dr. Becker interviewed me about America's Wild Horses and Burros and the work I'm doing to save them.  The video was just released last week! You can read the article and watch the video on Dr. Becker’s website .  Please take some time to look through her articles, as well.  She’s a fantastic veterinarian with a holistic approach to veterinary care.  My family and I have learned so much from her!

  I am so excited to share the story of how I got into rescuing mustangs!  I loved writing this story, reliving memories, and finding pictures from my younger years.  God has blessed me so much and I’m grateful for all He has done.  Please take a second to read my horse story - I hope you enjoy it! *Thank you so much to Rachel Brown (The Narrow Trail) for publishing it!
