2022 Mustang Mare

Athena, formerly tag 0646, is one of 12 sale authority mustangs we rescued from a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) adoption event in February 2025. Sale authority status means a horse has gone through three adoption events without finding a home, making them available for just $25—a price that often puts them at risk of falling into the wrong hands. But thanks to the generosity of our incredible donors, we were able to rescue every sale authority horse at the event, ensuring they would never face an uncertain future. Now, Athena and her herd will live out their days in safety at our sanctuary, free from fear.

This mare was taken from the wild the same year she was born, captured from the Shawave Mountains II HMA in Nevada. Since then, she has spent most of her life in captivity—her freedom taken before she ever had the chance to truly experience it.


Athena currently has no monthly sponsors.
