A Legacy of Freedom

Welcome to Dakota's Legacy Ranch, a 501(c)3 foundation dedicated to rescuing wild mustangs from long-term holding and providing them with forever homes. Located in beautiful Greenback, Tennessee, we offer foundational training and essential care to ensure each horse is ready for adoption. Join us in our mission to give these magnificent creatures a second chance at life.

Excited for the training journey!

It's been crazy over here on the ranch! Training has been going very well with both Ruger and Wildflower. At the start, Wildflower seemed very curious about us. She was interested, but at a distance. Ruger was the opposite. He would run blindly any time we even stepped foot near the corral. Now, a couple weeks into training, we are seeing their real personalities peek through. Wildflower has turned into an introvert and has decided she wants to be left alone most of the time. She is a mare (If yk, yk😅). Ruger loves attention and has is such a sweet boy. He puts in his all during training sessions, and although we haven't been able to get a good touch in, he has been pushing himself closer and closer.

Other News and Updates...

A lot has been happening around here! Spring has officially hit, so that means lots of shedding, warm air and spicy horses. We've been letting Dakota, Jackson and Hunter out on a regular basis to give them some fresh grass, space to move and to give the grass in the fields time to get ready for summer!☀️ I officially had my first ride of the year with Dakota last week. He had a lot of energy to burn since he had a while off because of the crazy elements here in east TN.😅 I hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather and longer days to come!:-)
