    Ratings are calculated from one or more beacon scores. Currently, we require either an Accountability & Finance beacon or an Impact assessment to be eligible for a Charity Navigator rating. Note: The absence of a rating does not indicate a positive or negative assessment; it only indicates that we have not yet evaluated this organization.
    See rating report below to learn why this organization is not currently eligible.

    Historical Ratings
    Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
    Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

    The nonprofit organization presents evidence of strategic thinking and goal setting through sharing their most important strategic goals.
    Goal One: Our goal is to grow our programs so we can welcome more mustangs into safe care and prepare them for successful futures. By expanding our facilities, strengthening our training program, and increasing community access, we can move more horses out of government holding and give more people the opportunity to engage with our mission.
    Goal Two: Our goal is to build a stronger, more resilient organization by increasing our financial stability, developing our team’s skills, and upgrading the systems and tools we rely on. Strengthening our internal capacity ensures we can continue providing high-quality care and long-term support for the mustangs we serve.

Expanding our advocacy work helps advance protections, promote responsible adoption, and elevate the mission of our organization.
