Redeeming Freedom Ranch

Redeeming Freedom Ranch was founded by someone who dreamed of helping the mustangs since she was 17. Mallory McBrayer has been an avid horse lover her entire life! Growing up in North Carolina, she had to complete what is known as the North Carolina Graduation Project. This pushes all seniors in high school to produce a research paper and do a practical experience on something they are passionate about.  Mallory chose the overpopulation of wild horses and burros as the topic for her paper. The more research she did, the more she discovered the lack of awareness both in the overpopulation issue itself, and in the severity of it. In Spring of 2016, the BLM, Bureau of Land Management, estimated that the range is overpopulated by a little over 65,000 wild horses and burros. This does not include the 45,000 or so currently sitting in government run pens out west. To read more specific overpopulation statistics provided by the BLM, click here.
While the statistics were not as severe when Mallory completed her project in 2010, she decided she wanted to spend her life helping the wild horses in any way possible.
Redeeming Freedom Ranch is still a very small operation, but we have big plans for it to grow. Mallory would like to become part of the Trainer Incentive Program next year and bring in and adopt out an average of 12 horses a year to start. She also wants to compete in the Extreme Mustang Makeover and open up an educational facility and sanctuary where the general public can learn about these incredible animals!
