Wild Horse Mountain Ranch-A Rescue and Learning Center

Wild Horse Mountain Ranch-A Rescue and Learning Center WHMR rescuing Mustangs and sharing the healing power of horses (nature, art and music) since 2005 We have a three pronged mission here at WHMR.

1.

Mustangs

We run a Mustang Rescue. We specialize in Mustangs that are untouched and have seen our share of Mustang stallions as well. We work to share Mustangs with the Public. We host open barn days, training study groups. We do demos with our Kiger Stallion and take our Mustangs to various events, set up a corral and have Meet the Mustang Days. We have Mustangs from several BLM Herd management a

reas. We also support the efforts to restore/maintain the Kiger Mustangs. A particularly interesting herd that phenotypically and genotypically trace their roots to the horses of the Conquistadors. Amazing animals that Oregon is lucky to be stewards of....

2. Honest Horsemanship

We don't pretend to be experts but we study and share the techniques of great horsemen and cowboys--Tom and Bill Dorrance, Ray Hunt and their students Buck Brannaman, Peter Campbell, Martin Black. We find this horsemanship focuses on a leadership that balances kindness and assertiveness. We find it not only develops fine horses, but when practiced makes for good leaders and better humans. We strive to share these principles particularly with youth as we see many life lessons are seamlessly learned while studying with the Horse.

3. Therapeutic Experiences

Humans can benefit from work with horses--both emotionally and physically. We strive to make horses accessible to people from all walks of life and ability levels. We work on an individual basis and tailor make programs to suit the needs of the folks we serve. We offer services on a sliding fee basis so everyone can be included. Regarding 2011's Project Kiger. In March 2011 Seven domestic Kigers joined our farm--eventually the number became 10. After a very difficult winter wherein they lost a good deal of weight, the Kigers were transported to us here in Western Oregon--just in time for spring grass. They were started on a series of deworming, were deloused (yippee!) and slowly reintroduced grazing. They were a delightful bunch with a wide variety of ages and skill levels but none were saddle trained.. received great attention via Portland's paper--The Oregonian. About 30 volunteers stepped forward to work with these horse. Lucky ponies indeed. They were exceptional horses and have now found good homes. Look through our pictures to learn more.
