As of 2011 we stopped breeding Spanish Mustangs to focus on research and arts projects
As of 2019 we no longer lease, sell or transfer any of our horses
We have facilitated sales on behalf of others, between two parties and continue to do so when asked.
At Spanish Mustangs Europe we have adhered to the breed standard as stated by the
SMR (Spanish Mustang Registry)
and the
AHHA (AmericanHeritage Horse Association)
We only promote horses bred to this standard
Over the years Spanish Mustangs that joined our herd have been sold or transferred (to other non-profits) to homes in –
