MUSTANG HERITAGE FOUNDATION
— ESTABLISHED 2001 —
Mustangs:
Living Symbols of the American Spirit
As Americans, we have the responsibility to preserve and steward the mustang, an icon of our American heritage.
That’s why at the Mustang Heritage Foundation we believe every wild horse and burro in off range holding deserves a loving forever home.
Just like these beloved mustangs and burros ...
But, aren’t they wild horses?
Yes, Mustangs are wild horses.
And yet, when they learn you are trustworthy, mustangs can be kind, gentle, willing, resilient, forgiving, intelligent, and versatile.
At the Mustang Heritage Foundation, we’ve helped thousands of wild horses and burros go from off-range holding to a loving forever home.
They are like no other horse I have ever interacted with—personality plus, intuitive, intelligent, versatile. The impact they have on Veterans, Military and their families far surpasses anything I could have imagined.
~ David F.
The moment when you fully feel them starting to trust you is amazing. Once they do, they are all heart, dedication and try.
~ Laurie C.
There is no other connection like one with a mustang. They’re a partner for life and able to adapt to almost any job. Once they trust you, you have a bond forever.
~ Julia H.
I’ve been around TB (Thoroughbreds) and QH (Quarter horses) all my life — the heart of a mustang is like no other. I wouldn't trade mine for the world!
~ Errica S.
Will you join us in our mission to give the 64,000 wild horses and burros in off-range holding a loving forever home?

My first Mustang, Boone, has changed the course of my horse journey more than I ever could have imagined.
I thought I was just adopting a new horse to replace my old mare. What I got was the best horse I’ve ever owned, a partner in anything I want to do (trail riding, calf sorting, mounted shooting, parades, ranch riding, jumping, extreme obstacles, etc…), and a gateway to a whole mustang community I didn’t even know existed.
To date, 3 of my kids have trained their own mustangs and competed in Extreme Mustang Makeovers. My oldest daughter has competed in multiple EMMs as a youth and is now training Mustangs full-time as an adult.
We, as a family, are totally hooked on Mustangs!
