$50,000 Goal

Two ladies on a mission to help the wild horses we grew to know and love through the lens of our cameras. 

Banditas Wild Horse Promise was established in September 2021. 

Whether land is leased, donated, or homes of our board members, the horses finally have a new freedom.

Banditas has purchased/adopted 40 Wild Horses and placed them on properties located in Colorado, in our direct care. We have helped place several others within partnering organizations. 

Banditas has collaborated with Steadfast Steeds, a sanctuary run and owned by Tracey Harmon, located in Glade, Colorado. Three older horses and one younger horse will have a forever home here. 

Banditas has collaborated on several occasions with The Wild Horse Refuge/Pat Craig, to place several wild horses and give them their forever freedom. 

Banditas main focus has always been family. We reunite when we can, and recreate when we have too. Some of the wild horses that now call Banditas home, were horses with no interest.... were "unknown" to the public, and had zero bids. At Banditas we believe that every wild horse deserves a chance, and so we do what we can to give them that. 

By making a donation, it ensures the upkeep of the 40 in our direct care, but also helps us to be able to help even more! 

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 

~It takes all of us to turn rescue into forever~  


Mission

Why Banditas and what is it? Banditas is a wild mustang advocacy group finding as many homes as possible for the wild horses captured via roundups and held in holding facilities. We search for large and small land owners who are willing to house wild horses that have been removed from the Herd Management Areas, providing the horses with a long-term, safe landing sanctuary home. This includes any safe opportunity of accessible land, whether it's a private owner (leased or donated), sanctuary, or our own land purchases. Donations go to all aspects of adoption including land, food for horses, transportation of horses, fencing, paneling - anything that would aid in providing more land to accommodate more horses - we want to help where we can! If you do not have land, but always wanted to help a horse, we have a few to pick from that you can sponsor! If you have available land to donate, let us lease it from you! If you are able to do both - great. Please contact us so we can help you through the process of adoption!

We are a non-profit with 100% of all donations and 100% of profits from auctioned artwork, sales and fundraisers going to the assistance of the wild horses,. Where Hoofbeats Are Our Heartbeats.

You don't rescue the horse ~ the horse will rescue you! Saving people one horse at a time.
