Adoption Updates

Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy ‘s mission statement reads “Helping Mustangs transition from holding pens to loving homes. Sustainably, with compassion and competence.”

We don’t just gentle wild horses, we do our best to match them up with the right adopters, because we believe that there’s a lid for every pot, even the unusual or less than perfect ones.

We’re happy to report that Deets the quirky Appy boy has found his human, and so has his bestie Woodrow.

Besides those two now adopted 5yo NV Mustangs (Woodrow is going to be with us for a few more weeks before he starts saddle training), we have dun roan mare Cinder (facility born to a Stewart Creek WY Mustang mare) and bay Devil’s Garden Mustang filly Elanor pending adoption.

We couldn’t be more excited for them.

Two of the four are going to repeat adopters, two to newly approved ones.

For Cinder specifically I had reached out to two previous adopters and told them we had a horse that needed someone like them and if they knew anyone like that who was looking. It turned out that one of them was looking and ready to move forward. She’s coming to meet Cinder today.

Placing these wildies in just the right situation isn’t always an easy or straightforward process. Once everything falls into place it’s beautiful and so worth it. Many thanks to Kelsey and Tay for all your help in making these happy new beginnings possible!

On that happy note, I have some recently approved adopters left to contact. If you haven’t heard back from us yet, please check your email later today, including your spam folder. You’re also always welcome to check in.

We still have several wonderful Mustangs available for adoption, you can find them as well as our adoption application on our website at

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Guffey, Colorado.

We have a list of reputable haulers for adopters who want to have their new equine partners brought to them. A lot of our wildies end up finding homes out of state, and being able to task an experienced professional with the transport can be a huge relief.
