There is a divide in the horse world.

On one side are those who believe all Mustangs should be domesticated. On the other are those who believe all Mustangs belong in sanctuary.

My belief? All Mustangs belong on the range.

If it were up to my heart, I would turn every single Mustang here back out onto their public lands today. But here we are in 2026, and the battle rages on. Roundups continue, and more wild horses than ever are left needing a safe landing.

At Mustang Valley Sanctuary, we stand at the intersection of the world we’re fighting for and the reality of today.

We meet every horse where they are, on their terms:

If a Mustang is open and willing to become a domestic partner, we guide them down that path using trust and communication-based training.
If a horse is unwilling, untamed at heart, or carries physical limitations, we simply hold space for them.

In the photo below is Violet she is from Mount Elinor , Utah. Rounded up, then taken by somebody who bred her. Then dumped her in an auction house without her baby and she was still in milk. I was finally able to get this Fairy knot out of her hair yesterday. This one is so shut down. She appears as dull. It is these mustangs that can become dangerous. She braces for the worst. I have spent countless hours with her helping her to regain her voice. Just trying to hear what she needs to say. Words unheard but spoken with intent. I will listen for as long as it takes. working with her is truly a test of presence.

Some will live out their days running in wild herd peace at our sanctuary. Some we will gently revisit over time. Some will never be ridden or handled—and that is okay.

They do not need to serve a human purpose to deserve a safe, dignified life.

Every single one plays a vital role in this mission, and we spend the time with them no matter what.

Our ultimate goal will always be an end to the roundups and a future where Mustangs remain free on their land.

Until that day comes, we must work together to keep as many of them safe as possible. You don't have to adopt a horse to be a part of this safety net:

Sponsor a Mustang: Help cover ongoing care for our permanent residents.

Gift a Bale of Hay: A single $10-$15 donation feeds a sanctuary horse for a few days .

Advocate: your voice is their lifeline.

Together, we are making a real, lasting difference. 🐴🌾

I’m sitting here taking a quick breather between chores, and I just had to share something that honestly brought tears to my eyes today. ❤️🐴
In honor of World Animal Month, our new donation platform, Every.org, is doing something incredible—they are matching every single dollar donated 2-for-1.
I can’t even begin to tell you what a huge blessing this is for us right now.
Every dollar coming in from this match goes straight into the ground to build out new paddocks. Anyone who knows sanctuary life knows that fence line and paddock space mean everything. It’s the difference between having to say “we’re full” or being able to say “yes, bring them home” when a Mustang needs a safe place to land.
Here’s how this gift multiplies:
🌾 $25 becomes $75
🌾 $100 becomes $300
🌾 $500 becomes $1,500
⚠️ There is a catch: Every.org set a fixed matching pool, and it’s strictly first-come, first-served. Once that pool runs dry, the match ends.
I’m so deeply grateful for this opportunity to stretch your hard-earned support three times as far. We can’t build these spaces without you, and I never take for granted the incredible community of people walking this path alongside us.
If you’re able to give today, please don’t wait:

Okay, herd family—let’s talk. 🐴❤️
Every single day, we look out at these fields and count our blessings. It is an absolute honor to do this work, to open our arms to wild horses, and to watch them transform. But as long as there are Mustangs in need, our work is never done.

We want to rescue more. And for the incredible horses already here—like sweet Coco—we are always asking ourselves: How can we do better?

Right now, "doing better" means expanding our track system.

Horses were made to move, miles upon miles a day. By turning open fields into continuous walking tracks, we give residents like Coco the room to roam, forage, and move naturally all day long. It keeps their hooves strong, their joints healthy, and their spirits bright.
This mission takes a community—and right now, we need extra hands to make it happen.

If you’ve been looking for a reason to roll up your sleeves and get outdoors, come spend a few days with us at Mustang Valley! There’s nothing quite like working side-by-side with people who share your heart, breathing in the fresh air, and looking at a finished fence line knowing you built that for these horses. It is time truly well spent.

If you can’t make it out to the farm, you can still stand right beside us from home!
You can help put the physical pieces of Coco’s new track into the ground:

🔨 $6 puts a sturdy T-post in the soil.

🧵 $115 buys 1,320 feet of wire (3 strands covering 440 feet of track!).

💚 Any small gift helps buy the insulators and hardware to tie it all together.
Whether you bring your strength to the fence line or chip in a few dollars for supplies, you are the reason we can keep saying yes.

You make this rescue possible, and you give horses like Coco the life they truly deserve.

We are so deeply grateful to walk this journey with all of you. Let's build this together! 🌿✨

There’s a delicate balance to running a rescue that doesn’t get talked about enough.

Our goal—always—is to find permanent, loving homes for as many Mustangs as we can. Every adoption opens up a gate, a stall, and a pasture for the next wild horse waiting for a second chance.

But every so often, a horse arrives who steps into a different role entirely. They become the heartbeat of the sanctuary. They become our ambassadors.

That is Mr. Quinn.

Quinn came to us from Coyote Lake, Oregon, after being rounded up as a baby. By the time he was 12 years old, he had already passed through eight different homes. Eight times, he had to pack up his trust and start over. By his last stop, he was labeled 'aggressive,' and his owners were preparing to put him down.

We knew that word—'aggressive'—is so often just shorthand for misunderstood, scared, or unheard. So we took a chance on him.

If you walked out to the pastures today, you’d never guess that was the same horse. Quinn is the undisputed lead man of his band, ruling his herd with confidence and quiet grace. But around us? He is a total softie. He leans in to give genuine hugs, melts during a good grooming session, and practically swoons for a deep back massage. He thrives on attention and loves nothing more than figuring out a tricky new obstacle in the arena.

He has easily become one of our volunteer favorites—a daily reminder of why we do this work.

Being an ambassador doesn't mean our door is closed to his next chapter. If the right person came along—someone experienced who understands his mind and wants a brilliant, rideable partner—we would celebrate his adoption in a heartbeat.

Until that perfect fit walks through the gate, Quinn will keep holding court, leading his band, and reminding all of us what happens when you give a horse the space to show you who they really are.
