We let wild horses be wild horses, but we make sure they have the food, water, and care they need to be happy wild horses.
-
Because of Dayton O. Hyde, the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary was created in 1988 for America's wild horses that lost their freedom.
-
Because of you, the horses of the Sanctuary today are guaranteed a life of freedom.

Winter's Coming & There's No Grass
It’s that time of the year when the snow covers any remaining grass and the wind blows the dirt across the prairie. No matter what the temperature or condition of our land and grass, our beautiful horses need to eat and stay healthy to survive our changing South Dakota weather.
The last few years of drought has caused the pastures to turn to dust. There is nothing there to supply the mustangs with the nutrients that the horses need. Our ranch crew drives the tractor, the bale trucks, and ATVs to carry hay and cake to the herds on the Sanctuary.
The hay deliveries are arriving daily to prepare for the upcoming winter months!!
Please donate to the yearly hay fund so we can help our horses survive the cold winters here on the plains of South Dakota.
Mustang Thunder!!!
You will feel them before you hear them. You will hear them before you see them. There on the horizon, stretch the sources of the thunder. Neither men nor machines nor the timeless rumblings of a prairie storm. They are the wild mustangs, and they are home at last!
Call 605-745-5955 to schedule your private tour in a SUV to go out and see the mustang herds Monday-Friday at 9am or 1pm
