About Us
Friends of the Mustangs was established in 1982 by a small group of people that had come to love and care about the Little Book Cliff (LBC) wild horse herd and their health and range. We have established a good working relationship with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) through the years.
The Friends of the Mustangs have received several awards from the BLM for our volunteer support of the horses in the Little Book Cliff Wild Horse Range (HMA). A couple of members were honored to be able to go to Washington.
Our volunteers work hard to keep the water holes and tanks flowing and clean, we also maintain trails by clearing them and marking them for other hikers/riders. We also help with the gathers and adoptions associated with the Little Book Cliff herd, along with the prospective adopters. Many of our members are qualified to do check ups on the adopted horses. We do this to make sure that the adopters and the horse(s) that they adopted are getting along well. Along with the work on the range, we also go to different events in our area to bring awareness of the wild horses. Each year we hold an Open House so that people can come out and meet many of the members and their mustangs and to show just how trainable mustangs are, also we have mini clinics to help people to understand many different things about the horse and adoption process, the use of PZP, training tips and much more.
We have become a 501(c)3 non profit and we have grown to around 100 members along with a few from other countries. We are also Non Political organization.
We are very proud of what has been accomplished since 1982. We are the only group of our kind that works so closely with the BLM and the Little Book Cliff Wild Horse Herd.
