2016 Mustang Mare

Aurora, formerly Tag 0415, 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, Aurora and her herd will live out their days in safety at our sanctuary, free from fear.

This mare spent about six years roaming free in the wild before being captured in 2022 from the Twin Peaks HMA. The brand on her hip tells an all-too-common story—she was previously captured, given fertility control, and released, only to be rounded up again. Despite everything she has endured, her spirit remains strong, and now she has a second chance at a life where she will never face captivity again.


Aurora currently has no monthly sponsors.
