Our Mission
Preservation through Responsible Ownership
and Effective Herd Management
Jicarilla Mustang Heritage Alliance
In short, our vision is to connect mustangs with humans, one horse at a time.
Since 2012, the Jicarilla Mustang Heritage Alliance has been dedicated to the welfare of New Mexico's wild horses and the preservation of their unique genetics. Our goal is to promote effective herd and land management strategies.At JMHA, we believe in the power of collaboration. We work closely with other agencies as part of a larger team dedicated to giving wild horses a voice.
We view fertility management as the best long term solution for population control, and have forged an agreement with the forest service for PZP darting in the Jicarilla herds. We strive to educate the public about wild horse management in the modern world; advocating water and land resource management. Fertility control is a crucial strategy for herd management to maintain a sustainable population of wild horses.
For the mustangs gathered, we aspire to unite those horses with the best possible adoptive homes, and inform people about best practices for humane training. We hope to create lasting mustang/human partnerships that always put the horse first. Yet we have not forgotten the horses that are not able to adjust as easily to domestic life. JMHA is working to develop and maintain a sanctuary for elderly and less adoptable horses.
Jicarilla Mustang Heritage Alliance continues to pursue mustang preservation by means of both herd management and responsible adoption/ownership. We seek to influence the public through education. We are taking a lead to be part of the solution by building partnerships and finding common ground cooperation strategies with other agencies that have the mustangs' interests in mind.
