Spirit is an 18 year old black mustang gelding that was captured as a yearling in the Onaqui Mountain HMA in UT in 2000. He lived with his original owner until last year when he was turned over to MWHR because his owner could not care for him after he was injured in a trailering incident. Spirit was adopted by a wonderful couple at the end of 2015. We had an opportunity to check in on Spirit last week and he is enjoying life in a small herd on 30 acres in Dallas, GA where he gets along well with the other horses. Spirit looks like a cuddly teddy-bear in his winter coat, and he has the personality to match. He is healthy and happy and we are so pleased and grateful that Spirit has found such a loving family to care for him.

Welcome to the Mustang and Wild Horse Rescue of Georgia. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing a program for wild horses captured by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wild horse roundups. We are located in Georgia in the Canton area. MWHR is a local organization founded in 2002 by David Hesse. After his first trip to the high desert country in California where he learned how to gentle a wild mustang, Hesse, whose passion is to preserve the Mustang, opened a training center to teach new mustang adopters how to safely gentle their wild horses. A couple of years later, he founded MWHR. It is committed to providing a safe haven for previously owned mustangs and wild horses that are no longer wanted by their adopters or those who have been abandoned, abused or neglected by their owners. The horses had originally been placed for adoption by the BLM Adoption Program. MWHR gentles and rehabilitates the horses they rescue to so they can be successfully re-adopted by new owners. MWHR’s goal is to obtain land in the near future to provide a sanctuary for unadoptable mustangs. It is also devoted to raising public awareness of the plight of wild horses and burros and why saving these Living Legends is critical to our nation. MWHR hopes to inspire others to become involved in their worthy cause. MWHR is run entirely by volunteers; donations and interest are always welcome and greatly appreciated.
