Impact Of The Horse

Our Goal:
To promote the Mustang as a viable horse for adoption through the platform of  Impact Of The Horse.
This competition brings both Domestic and Wild Born Horses together in a friendly competition followed by both a Mustang & Burro Adoption.
The current estimated on-range Wild Horse and Burro population (as of March 1, 2016) is 67,027,  a 15 percent increase over the 2015 estimate of 58,150.
That means the current West-Wide On-Range population exceeds AML by more than 40,000.
The population of Off-Range (unadopted or unsold) Wild Horses and Burros maintained in holding facilities is more than 45,000 as of August 2016.

The American West is rich with Horses, Cowboys and Pioneer Heritage.
A sanctuary of rugged desert that meets rolling hills, where one will find the free roaming American icon, the Mustang.
Drought conditions across the West have impacted the sanctuary of rangelands, leaving little water and forage for America’s Wild Mustang herds.
Sage Creek Equestrian has been in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management for Ten years, since its opening. and has created a platform for Impact of the Horse, a competition created for the plight of the American Mustang to showcase the usability of our Wild Born Legacy.
