Meet the Herd: Stories of Strength, Spirit, and Second Chances

Every mustang at Mustang Valley Sanctuary carries a powerful story—of survival, resilience, and the healing bond between horse and human. Here, you’ll meet our current herd of rescued wild horses, each with a unique journey from abandonment or danger to safety and sanctuary. Whether you’re a veteran seeking solace, a donor looking for impact, or a wellness seeker drawn to soulful connection, these mustangs are more than residents—they are wise, wild hearts with lessons to share. Discover their stories, and let one speak to yours.
