You love horses. Maybe you've always loved them. You see what's happening to America's wild mustangs — the roundups, the kill pens, the slaughter pipeline — and something in you says: I have to do something. And then reality hits: you don't have land. You don't have a barn. You can't adopt a horse. You live in an apartment, or a neighborhood, or a city. You are, by every traditional measure, not someone who can "help horses." Here is what I want you to know before we go any further. Nirvana Mustang Sanctuary was built for you. Not just for the horses. For you. For the person who cares deeply and has felt, for too long, like there was no...
Something happened quietly in America. No big announcement. No news coverage. No national conversation. For the first time in recorded history, there are now more American wild horses living in government captivity than roaming free on the land they were born on. That fact should stop every one of us in our tracks. Wild horses are supposed to be federally protected. There is a law — the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 — that was passed specifically to protect them. Americans flooded Congress with letters. They demanded it. And Congress listened. So how did we end up here? The answer is one of the most infuriating stories in American history. And once you know it, you cannot...
There are no words in this video. No narration, no music, no voice telling you what to feel. Just an afternoon at Nirvana Mustang Sanctuary — exactly as it sounds. Wind through the grass. Hooves in shallow water. Whinnies to friends. The low, soft sounds a herd makes when it is at peace. We made this video because sometimes the best argument for what we do is not an argument at all. It's just this. A few minutes of something quiet, something real, and something worth fighting for. Where These Horses Came From Every horse you see in this video has a story that looked nothing like what you're watching. America's wild mustangs are gathered by helicopter roundups run by...
Something big is happening right now. And most people don't even know it yet. A flesh-eating parasite called the New World Screwworm was just confirmed in Texas. In response, the United States Department of Agriculture did something that hasn't happened in decades — they shut down all live animal exports to Mexico. Cattle, horses, pigs. All of it. Effective immediately. For the agriculture world, this is a huge economic story. But for horses? It could be a turning point in history. What Is the New World Screwworm? The New World Screwworm is a parasite whose larvae burrow into living flesh and eat it from the inside out. It was eradicated from the U.S. back in 1966. It just came back...
Where do I even start?! Between having my first two children, moving back to Texas, settling in, expanding our acreage TWICE now since the move, and attending monthly auctions to save as many wild mustangs as we can- I have admittedly lacked any time to make updates here in the blog since the last one which was.. WOW... back in February of 2024 when I was making YouTube content to share with you all. I get messages from time to time asking if we are still open- to my surprise, sometimes people come here who don't see our constant updates on social media! So- my resolution for this year will be to provide a monthly update here of all the...
