What We Do

Wynema Ranch rescues, abused, unwanted, neglected, and slaughter-bound horses of all types by providing them a sanctuary where they can live out the rest of their lives with dignity and peace.

Wynema Ranch Wild Horse Sanctuary prides itself as an eco-friendly rescue and rehabilitation refuge for America’s wild mustangs, burros, and mules. For these majestic creatures that once roamed the range free, a safe haven and alternative to slaughter has been conceived. The premise upon which this sanctuary has been established is that all our rescued animals are given the best chance for a rewarding life in their new restricted regimen and that each animal will be given a new purpose. Those wild horses and burros who willingly sign onto people and establish a bond through a process known as “gentling” will be given an opportunity for permanent homes under the watchful eye of the Wynema Ranch Wild Horse Sanctuary Adoption Program. If circumstances change for their adoptive family, return of adoptive animals will be welcomed. Other horses will be given opportunities to participate in programs to help heal, self-empower, and inspire returning veterans, veterans’ families, at-risk youths, foster youths, recent parolees, and those struggling with addictions. Additionally, our rescued herds will join in helping to educate the public, especially our community’s youth, through programs offered at the ranch about the heritage, the behavior, and the beauty of one of America’s most cherished icons − Wild Mustangs. The true legacy we aspire to achieve is: Working together, we hold the space to ensure those beings that once roamed free can be as wild as they need to be under the protection of Wynema Ranch Wild Horse Sanctuary.
