The Mustang Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and protection of the wild mustangs of the American West. Established in 2001, it aims to promote the adoption of these horses and support programs that enhance their welfare and management. The foundation works closely with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to ensure that mustangs are treated humanely and that their populations are managed sustainably. Through various initiatives, the Mustang Heritage Foundation raises awareness about the importance of wild mustangs in American culture and history. Programs like the Extreme Mustang Makeover showcase the trainability of these horses, encouraging potential adopters to consider them as companions or working animals. The foundation also collaborates with local communities to foster a better understanding of the ecological role of mustangs in their natural habitats.
