Help us make a difference in the lives of Captured Mustangs and Burros!
Arviso was an unhandled and abused stallion confiscated by a court of law. Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to help him find a way to trust again.
Lefty returned to Mustang Camp when his owner died. He stayed with us two years until his perfect adopter came to claim him.
We were able to take in 76 unhandled horses from sanctuaries and rescues in need in 2019. We are the only rescue set up for unhandled horses.
You can give a wild or feral horse a chance to find a forever home. Mustang Camp provides training to help equines transition to a life with people and finds them adoptive homes, but we can't do it without help from friends like you. Your tax deductible contribution helps provide our services to unhandled horses from state and federal agencies, Native American tribes, sanctuaries, and other equine rescues that need our expertise in training the wild ones.
Your tax free donations will go toward feeding and caring for these equines. A ton of hay delivered is estimated to cost $350 and a semi-truck load (twenty-two tons of hay) is estimated to cost $5600. With your help, we can feed, house and train equines in need.
Our most expensive animal to feed: Shackleton was so starved when he arrived in 2023 that the humans had to lift him out of the trailer. He had been in an auction yard where no one noticed that he didn't have teeth to eat hay. I started a re-feeding protocol immediately, giving him round-the-clock care until he had stabilized. The equine dentist shook her head when she looked into his mouth. He didn't have enough teeth left to even try any dentistry. The dentist and the vet agreed that he was over 25 years old.
Shackleton would not have survived much longer without a special diet.
Three months later, Shackleton was looking healthy. Shackleton has to eat senior foods for the rest of his life. He is picky. He gets orchard grass pellets and Triple Crown Equine Senior in separate dishes. He refuses to eat them mixed and gets a few handfuls of hay to chew on for dessert. It's a good life. He wrestles with the zebra through the fence and brays to the other donkeys. His brays set the dogs to howling. It's a good life.
