The Wild In Us Raising awareness and money for the Ataxia Foundation through our adventures with our mustangs, mules, & donating 3% of all sales from the saddle shop

In 2014, Gary Peterson lost his life to Ataxia. Leaving behind a desire in his son to live life courageously, like his father. To honor Gary Peterson, Trent Peterson, along with his 3 adopted mustangs riding north along the PCT, a 2,659 mile long trail stretching from Mexico to Canada, in the summer 2017. Trent rides to raise awareness and money for the ataxia foundation which funds research proje

cts to one day stop the hereditary disease. To complete this ride, Trent will use Mustangs adopted, gentled and trained by himself. In doing so, he hopes to raise awareness for the challenges our wild horses face both in the wild and in holding facilities. In order to live courageously, and honor the life and opportunities that Ataxia took from Gary, Trent turns to the mountains and the mustangs. He will go back to when life wasn’t as plush and so domesticated; when life didn’t exist in the borders of a fence line but ran wild across the harsh, unforgiving West. He rides to give hope to those who need some, to give a voice to those who have none and to educate along the way. He rides for Gary, he rides for the Mustangs, and he rides for the wild in us all.

Looking for Insurance Know How in Our Community 🤎

The Outfitter’s Legacy Project is ready to move forward with our youth and veteran horsemanship and backcountry programs, but we are currently at a standstill while working through the insurance requirements needed to operate safely and responsibly.

We are hoping to connect with someone in our community who has experience with
• Nonprofit or equine program insurance
• Outdoor or youth program risk management

If this is in your wheelhouse and you would be willing to share some guidance as a volunteer, it could make a real difference in helping these programs move forward.

Please send us a message if you are open to connecting, or if you know someone we should talk to.
