What We Do
RMR Ranch - Wild Horse Foundation
is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to prevent the American
Mustang from suffering abuse, neglect and slaughter. The foundation is dedicated to helping preserve and promote
the "Wild Horse and Burro Adoption Program" through the U.S. Department of the
Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM), State of Nevada, by offering and sponsoring mentor
assistance training and education programs to the public about the uniqueness of
the Wild Horse. We
utilize "networking" with other clinicians all over the United States to ensure education and safety with natural
horsemanship techniques.
Some of the assistance we offer:
- Rescue
abandoned, abused or neglected wild horses, rehabilitate, gentle
and place by adoption into new loving homes.
- Provide technical
knowledge and assistance with training and/or gentling and desensitizing using
natural horsemanship techniques.
- Educate the general public
on wild horse issues through the implementation of programs, which reinforce the
need for preservation, protection and management, while promoting a more
positive image of the wild horse.
- Referral and consultation
service that assists with placement of gentled horses to other nonprofit
organizations, i.e., camps in need of horses.
- Organize events where
horse owner/enthusiasts can learn how the Wild Horse compares to domestic
horses, in events such as trail rides, team penning, working cattle, pleasure
riding, barrel racing, endurance races and many more.
We are an exclusive born-wild horse training facility in the
central United States, Texas dedicate to assisting new adopters.
"Where We Are"
Wild Horse Foundation is located in Central Texas in Robertson
County. Home of the RMR Ranch, the
facility sits on 111 acres and is home to a number of born-wild horses and
domestic horses, including eight dogs that have adopted us.
The facility includes four very nice training arenas; two - 30 ft. round pens,
one - 45' round pen and one 60 ft. round pen, and a riding/training arena conducive to wild horse
gentling techniques. Interested
parties can observe and learn natural horsemanship techniques.
We have 10 private training areas. The horse enclosures are modern and the facility is in the process of
constructing large turn out pens where horses that get along with each other can
enjoy "R&R" several hours at a time.
"How Can We Help You, The New
Adopter"
We offer clinics and classes on "How to Gentle"
or "How to Desensitize" using "Gentle
Horsemanship Techniques" for your newly adopted Wild Horse or
Burro. Most new adopters try and train
Mustangs or Burros like domestic
Horses, which in most cases can be fruitless.
After trying our techniques which are proven to be simple and safe, that
encourage your new adoptee with kindness and gentling, you'll find a wonderful
feeling of satisfaction knowing you and your "New Mustang" will have a
great life and lots of pleasure together. It's a learning experience for both
the adopter and Wild Horse or Burro.
Wild Horse Foundation takes the stand that
America's born-wild horses have played an important role in our history. The American rangelands have been home for born-wild herds
since the Spanish Explorers re-introduced horses to this continent back in the
1500's. It was only in the early
1800's that the born-wild horse numbers estimated to be 2 million, now sadly;
there are only about 40,000-50,000 born-wild horses and burros remaining.
They will do so if the public continues to support the Wild Horse and
Burro Act of 1971 and the BLM's Wild Horse and Burro Adoption Program.
This will only be achieved through education and training and the Wild
Horse Foundation aims to be an integral part in that process.
This
organization is not BLM operated or BLM sponsored. Private wild horse and burro enthusiasts run it with private
donations. We do have an MOU with the NPS, BLM.
