Welcome
to the Wild Horse Rescue, Education and Rehabilitation Center.
We are dedicated to the preservation of the
spirit of the
west by saving America's
wild heritage, the Mustang.
At
the center, mustangs rescued from abuse or neglect are rehabilitated
and adopted out to qualifying homes. We also assist
the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) as a safe holding center for
reassignment cases.
Since it's
inception six years ago, over
sixty Mustangs have been rescued, gentled or owner-mentored.
We have
recently acquired 501(c) nonprofit status and will be
expanding
our facilities and training center.
We
educate the public to the plight of these magnificent creatures by
providing workshops, clinics and lectures. Groups,
such as
the 4H, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts come to learn about the history of
mustangs and observe a horse gentling demonstration. We promote the
breed at Bureau of Land
Management adoptions, schools, county fairs and wild life festivals. We
also mentor mustang owners in the care and gentling of their newly
adopted wild horses. WHR
is available for special events and clinics.
Please contact us for more information.
Wyomie was the
first mustang to be rescued by WHR. Wyomie is a very special
wild horse that was returned back to the wild. She is located
at the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary in Hot Springs, South Dakota.
To learn more about Wyomie's story please visit her special
website at www.freewyomie.freeservers.com.
