About Us
Mustangs of America Foundation (MAF) is an all volunteer nonprofit (501c3), nonpolitical organization dedicated to promoting mustang and burro adoptions, training, facilitating public education and prevention of cruelty to animals. MAF is committed to working with the Bureau of Land Management to develop other programs that increase the number of successful adoptions by:
· Providing information and education to the public about mustang and burro adoption and training programs
· Promote successful adoptions by assisting new adopters with training issues
· Promote events that showcase mustangs and encourage adoption
· Support the inmate training programs in:
Carson City, Nevada
Florence, Arizona and
Sacramento, California
(We hope to add more programs as funding allows)
· Assist agencies with projects for mustangs in the wild
· Partner with Corporate sponsors
· Fund raising to assist in current and future programs
Inmate Training Programs
The Mustangs of America Foundation (MAF) focuses on mustang adoptions through the inmate training programs in Sacramento, CA, Carson City, NV and Florence, AZ. These programs are important for increasing the adoption of mustangs and burros by providing trained animals for the public and government agencies such as the border patrol. These programs also change the lives of inmates. Along with learning a new skill, inmates learn respect, trust, partnership and love. The horse programs give an opportunity for inmates to learn to communicate with the public when talking to potential adopters. Some inmates have gone on to farrier school or continue to work with horses when they get out of prison. The quality of training these horses get will determine the number of successful adoptions. We do our best to encourage these men to lead successful lives once they are released. We will provide counsel or relocation if necessary.
Lanny Leach is also starting a school open to the public in Arizona. Lanny will be teaching attendees his methods and the business end of horse training. He will be using mustangs for this project. We will have scholarships available for qualified paroled inmates from our three programs to attend Lanny's school. The parolees would come away with a saddle and tack to be able to start training horses at soon as they graduate from the school. We want these programs to be a win for both mustangs and men. If you wish to sponsor an inmate for continued education with mustangs or help the programs in general please contact MAF for more information.
