Past participants have acclaimed these courses “an outstanding adventure” and “a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
Mustangs: A Living Legacy

From a central meadow camp, riders track mustangs in their natural pinyon forest habitat and learn the social behavior of the horses and their current struggle. This program is a special opportunity that combines a rustic outdoor adventure and a unique educational experience in exploring the biology, ecology and behavior of a proud and beautiful animal— the North American wild horse.
