The Road to Freedom is
Paved with Hay!
Winter 2025
It’s that time of the year when winter turns all the grass brown 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 South Dakota winters.
Pictured above is one of our herds in Hells Canyon. Because of the lack of grass here on the Sanctuary, the mustangs need to be fed daily. The ranch crew drives the tractor, the 2-bale trucks and ATVs to carry hay & cake to the herds in the canyon, on the wild side, the boulder field and the home range. This is an everyday task.
Pictured above is one of the hay stacks on the Sanctuary with Harlequin guarding it. Due to the second year of severe drought, the wild horses need your help. Our current hay bill is topping $704,000, which averages out to be approximately $1,000 per horse per year, and winter isn’t over yet. Please help us with the winter hay fund so we can help our horses survive the freezing cold here on the plains of South Dakota.
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 tour in the Feed Truck out to see the mustang herds Monday-Friday at 9am.
The fee is $350 per person plus tax.
