As the founder of Shawnee Trail Wild Mustang Sanctuary, I've dedicated my life to rescuing and rehabilitating wild mustangs, giving them a second chance at life.
These majestic creatures have been through so much case by helicopters -taken from there home - abused, and the so sent to slaughter.
I’ve seen the worst of humanity's treatment of animals firsthand. My father, a veterinarian, taught me the value of compassion and kindness. Together, we helped countless animals in need, and I've carried on his legacy.
When wild mustangs arrive at our sanctuary, they're often broken, scared, and some barely clinging to life. But with love, care, and patience, we help them heal and thrive. We give them back as much freedom as we can on our land.
We’ve stay with them through the darkest moments was their heads in our laps as they take their last breath. We shed tears for each and every one. We give them dignity and death. But we never give up.
Our sanctuary is more than just a safe haven; it's a lifeline for these incredible animals. We're not just fighting for their survival; we're fighting for their freedom. And we need your help.
The recent inflation, and pandemic have pushed us to the limit. Our funds are depleted, and our stockpiles of hay and grain are running low. We're struggling to keep up with the demand, and it's getting harder to say no to the animals in need.
That's why I'm reaching out to you. We need your support to continue our work. Our immediate needs are dire:
- $5,000 to care for our mustangs and other animals
- Hay, grain, and water for our herds
- Dog food, cat food, and supplies for our other rescues
- 15-inch tires for our horse trailer
But our mission goes beyond just providing basic necessities. We're working tirelessly to:
- Support horse owners struggling to care for their animals
- Provide a safe haven for abused and neglected animals
- Educate the public about the importance of wild mustang conservation
- Advocate for policy changes to protect these magnificent creatures
We're not just a sanctuary; we're a community. And we need your help to keep our doors open. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to our goal. Will you join us in this fight? Will you help us give these incredible animals a second chance at life?

Shawnee Trail Wild Mustang Sanctuary, formerly, Horses Lives Matter Equine Sanctuary 501c3 is committed to using our expertise and resources to achieve our cause of protecting our national heritage, the wild Mustang.
We are extremely small but our reach is broad.
Our yearly budget is $25,000 to $50,000. We pay $125 Per Mustang from the Bureau of Land Management to save these horses from slaughter. Once they are at our Sanctuary they are released into 1000 acres.
We keep them as free as we can. The purchase is just the beginning.
The donations buy hay, grain, wormers, medical needs, other items needed to care for each horse. It cost $315 a month to care for each of them. Our goal is to keep each horse in its home.
Make-up although most is donated. I, myself, was a victim of physical abuse. I finally hot out.
For the last two years, we have focused on caring for the herd. We have had so many challenges but we stay positive to save as many animals as we can.
Donors are spread so thin and we understand. We appreciate any amount you can spare. God bless all.
