The Heart Mustang Program

We developed The Heart Mustang program to fill a need.

The need was for well trained mustangs who were trained in the timeframe that allowed them to excel and not experience undue stress and trauma. The need for mustangs trained by experienced mustang trainers. The need to match mustangs with their new people. When all these things are in place we have found that mustangs have their best chance to excel in their new homes.

We personally go to the corrals, adoption event, online corral or a storefront and hand pick mustangs for this program. We have extensive experience of selecting mustangs from sifting through thousands upon thousands over the past 14 years of training them. We pick these mustangs based on temperament, type, size, conformation and color. We then spend on average 10-18mths training these horses and cover all their vet, travel, care and much more costs while in the program.

The cost of the program is based on those expenses, however, it is much more cost effective than paying for that all separately on your own. Please plan your budget for a horse receiving all this care and training accordingly.

There are two different levels of Heart Mustangs. Foundation Heart Mustang and Elite Heart Mustang. Detailed descriptions of both can be found below.

They must meet all requirements before we are willing to release them to their new homes.

What Makes This Program So Unique:

  • REGULAR VIDEO UPDATES
    About every two weeks you will receive an update video of your Heart Mustang as they progress through the program. This will ensure you can see their progress, get to know them and learn what they are learning.
  •  HEALTH RECORD
    Every Heart Mustang will come with a complete health record showing all current vaccines, deworming, current Coggins, and current dental. That way you know they are healthy. If potential buyers would like to have x-rays and PPE, they may at their expense. Heart Mustangs will have their DNA tested to see which are the main breeds in their DNA and you will be provided with a report/certificate of breed(s).
  •  MATCHING
    We will match you to the right Heart Mustang. You will fill out an interest form and we will have an interview to make sure we only recommend the Heart Mustangs that will have the best chance to become your dream horse.
  •  PAYMENT OPTIONS
    We understand that budgeting for mustangs of this caliber can be difficult and we are willing to work with you so you can get your dream horse. These are the best of the best and will be priced accordingly. Understand that we want them to have wonderful homes too so are willing to work with you and there are no hidden fees!
  •  LESSONS
    While your Heart Mustang finishes their training you may come to our ranch and get lessons with them. You may also participate in any clinics we do while they are in training at no additional charge (at the location the horse is at).

 

How Can You Get A Heart Mustang?

Heart Mustangs will be posted to this page with current photos through their training journeys plus on all our social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube). We will start accepting applications to purchase after they are posted. Clients with deposits on file will get first priority and first right of refusal on all Heart Mustangs before they are posted to the public.

You can choose between the Foundation Heart Mustang program or go all the way and get the Elite Heart Mustang! You also get to make requests of what you would like your mustang to learn that is unique to your needs (within reason).
