The Great Escape Mustang Collaborative

Great Escape Mustang Collaborative empowers formerly wild horses to thrive in domestic life through training, adoptions, sanctuary, education and collaboration.

Since 2011, our model of support has been so effective that we have been able to facilitate over 1200 adoptions, as well as offer a permanent sanctuary home to 37 mustangs and burros.

THE PROBLEM

There are over 50,000 wild horses in holding facilities managed by the Bureau of Land Management across the Western United States. These horses are awaiting adoptions, hoping to be paired with the right person able to handle their training, domestication and off-range needs. 

Mustangs are built to thrive in the wild, and when they are introduced into our human world they can easily fall through the cracks and in many situations the horses and their adopters find themselves in trouble and in need of support. Some of the horses can even find themselves neglected, abused, abandoned, starved, passed around to different homes, or even sent to auction or slaughter. We believe these magnificent animals deserve better and that by working together we can make a positive difference in their lives.

THE SOLUTION

Our organization addresses the essential demand for rehabilitating, training, and rehoming formerly wild Mustangs.  Our dynamic network unites Foster Partners, Trainer Partners, and Sanctuary alongside dedicated volunteers, forming a robust and varied community of support for both Mustangs in need. The invaluable work we undertake is intrinsically tied to the support we receive from the public – without it, our mission would be impossible to fulfill.
