MUSTANG ADOPTION ACADEMY CORPORATION

There are approximately 60,000+ wild horses (Mustangs) in government holding facilities nationwide. There are also on average 22 Veteran suicides per day in America. Both of these numbers are already too high and growing.

The Mustangs of Service program is a mental health program that teaches & utilizes Brain-based Horsemanship and Equine Assisted Services with our Veterans in the act of gentling Mustangs. Our MOS professionals support the Veteran through this journey and to see the undeniable parallels between the two. Through this, they both find understanding, learning & healing.

The MOS program was developed to help to reduce the number of Veterans who live every day with the effects of PTSD, TBIs, Depression, Anxiety and other such diagnoses. We aim to make an impact in the 22 per day Veteran suicide rate, while saving America’s Wild Horse, the Mustang.
