Mountaineering Mustangs! Throughout the month of January, we are featuring Mustangs and Mustang crosses! We recently asked our social media followers to share a photo of their favorite Mustang or Mustang cross partner, and tell us a little about them for a chance to be featured in an upcoming gallery highlighting these American icons. Check out some of the superstars they love to dance with.

Gentled by Elisa Wallace, Escher has been a blast as our first mustang. He is beyond smart and is one of the most people oriented, cuddly horses I have ever met.

He’s been an amazing ambassador for the breed. I now have 3 mustangs I’ve trained for eventing. I love the breed and will never go back 🥰 – Megan W.My 14.1 Warm Springs HMA mare – rounded up in 2018 . We met in a less than traditional style but fell into each other’s lives anyways . I was out of horses for 3 years after the loss of my heart horse… and she needed someone to see her heart past all her flight response . Eventing is our man focus but she’s ignited my desire to start working on our bronze and possibly silver medals . 🩷 – Arminda E.– Kierra G.This is Korra, Whirlwind from Sand Wash Basin HMA. She is 8 years old, and was gathered in July, 2025 with a foal at her side. I adopted her in November of 2025, and am so excited for the progress she has made in the short month that she has been with me. I can’t wait to introduce her to dressage, hopefully spring of 2026! I have big plans for this beautiful girl! – Paige B.My late south steens hma gelding, Muffin ❤️ – Emily M.
