The Wild About Mustangs Program and Ronnie Ford Training Center is here to help people who would like to adopt a mustang.  These special horses make some of the best trail riding horses in the world. We want to help you make the wisest, best choice and to give your new partner the best START possible, with a certified TIP trainer (Trainer's Incentive Program).  Ronnie Ford.

How the program works:

We must have at least 4 people signed up. The BLM will only allow a trainer to have 4 mustangs on the property at one time.

We will make a trip to Piney Woods, Mississippi, and spend some time viewing the adoptable mustangs and watch their interactions with each other and in the herd. You don't want to pick the dominant mare or gelding or the horse that is particularly on the bottom of the pecking order.  We will then give our professional assessment of the horse you are interested in adopting.

The expenses involved in making the trip will be shared by the 4 participants. I'm estimating the cost to run between $250-300 each. It's about 650 miles one way to Piney Woods. The cost of the adoption is $125. Basically to start with your going to have approximately $425 invested initially into your horse and an experience you'll share for the rest of your life.

As a certified TIP trainer for the American Heritage Foundation, they will  pay Ronnie Ford Training Center for your first month of training on your new partner. What I guarantee is to have them gentled, leading, standing for the farrier, saddled, loading in the horse trailer, doing the obstacle course in hand and ready to go on for riding training. If you wish to carry on with the training, you can then enroll them in our PARTNERS IN TRAINING program to develop your new friend until your totally comfortable with your best buddy.

This is your opportunity to be involved in the start of a BRAND NEW LIFE, for an American Legend, The Mustang!

So many times I get calls from people that don't know about this program and by time they discover what is involved, and have already "adopted" a wild horse, they then feel that they are in over their head, and now they have already instilled some unsavory behaviors in their horse that they adopted and these behaviours are what they didn't want in the first place. Then the trip back to where you would like to be, is even harder and more difficult for the horse and for you.

The adoptions have to go through Ronnie Ford Training Center in order for American Heritage to pay for the initial month of training of the horse. If you have any questions or would like to know more please feel free to contact us.

Here are only two of the many mustangs that I have trained and they have been adopted! Congratulations To Rosie and Buddy who now have new owners.
