About Us
Return to Freedom is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit wild horse sanctuary founded in the late 1990s by equine enthusiast Neda DeMayo. What began as a childhood dream blossomed into a thriving sanctuary dedicated to preserving the freedom, diversity, and natural habitats of America’s wild horses and burros.
OUR HISTORY
Mission
Return to Freedom is dedicated to preserving the freedom, diversity, and habitat of America’s wild horses and burros through sanctuary, education, advocacy, and conservation, while enriching the human spirit through direct experience with the natural world.
Vision
Return to Freedom is poised to take our management model to the next level by creating a first-of-its-kind Wild Horse and Burro Conservancy and Wilderness Preserve. This historical Land Trust will ensure the conservation of disappearing pure in strain Spanish mustangs, expand our management model as it can be applied on wild horse ranges, and be home to natural family bands captured from federal lands.
