Youth and Horses Benefiting From One Another

Kids transforming horses while being transformed themselves.

Helping Youth

The Mustang Project was formed based on the belief that positive experiences with animals can be life-changing.  We have developed a program for those students interested in learning more about horses but do not have the facilities, finances, or family support to own their own horse.  We especially welcome "at risk" students - those who may be struggling in school, or socially, due to their home life, peer pressures, or academic challenges.    

This is not a riding program.  The focus of the program will be learning natural horse behavior.

There will be no charge to students to participate, however students are expected to participate on a regular basis, keep their school grades and attendance up, and maintain good conduct at home, school, and in the community. 

PLEASE NOTE: our youth program is currently on hold as we transition to our new location.

Helping Horses

The Mustang Project advocates for and participates in the rescue of at-risk of Mustangs.  These horses are gathered from lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, US Fish and Wildlife, US Forest Service, and state agencies.  Thousands of young healthy horses are available for adoption through the BLM and many have been in holding facilities for far too long.  Mustangs gathered by other federal government or state agencies are not protected, and can go directly to auction where they can be sold for slaughter. 

The Mustang Project's goal is to provide sanctuary for as many of these at-risk Mustangs as possible.  Some of the horses at the sanctuary have remained wild, while others enjoy interacting with people.

Mustang Sanctuary

The Mustang Project is excited to announce that we have purchased 87 acres in Concho, Arizona for our sanctuary!  This will allow our horses to have more room to roam, and for us to possibly take in additional horses that are at-risk of going to slaughter.  Our most pressing need is to put up about 7,110 feet of fencing!!  If you'd like to make a donation, please click on the link below, which will take you to Zeffy, a free donation platform:
