Return to Freedom

Prestige Hunters and Jumpers is proud to sponsor and support the "Return to Freedom" organization.

Return to Freedom's focus is to meet the immediate needs of rescue and sanctuary for wild horses as we create solutions to protect their freedom, diversity and habitats for generations to come.

Return to Freedom is a non-profit wild horse sanctuary founded in 1997 by Neda DeMayo, and is the realization of her life-long dream: to protect the freedom and natural lifestyle of America’s free ranging wild horses. The sanctuary also serves to benefit people by providing a direct experience with animals and the environment, thereby enriching the human spirit. Through sanctuary, education, and conservation Return to Freedom protects the freedom, diversity and habitat of America’s wild horses for generations to come.

Sanctuary
Return to Freedom provides a safe haven to nearly 200 wild horses and burros Recognizing that wild horses live in tightly bonded herd groups, Return to Freedom became the first sanctuary with a focus on rescuing entire family bands. Designed to be a model program, we implement alternative and minimally intrusive management philosophies.

Education
Return to Freedom's educational programs facilitate a direct experience with nature and animals through non-intrusive, sensitive observation. Through direct contact with the natural world, we hope to inspire a deep reverence for the communities and family groups that exist in nature. Our programs were created with the intent that, for things to change, a new human being must emerge. It is our hope that policy changes and legislation that have the best interest of wildlife species and natural habitats in mind will be supported through re-education.

Conservation
The American Wild Horse of Today is a re-introduced native wildlife species, represented by diverse biological groups each with their own genetic and historical significance. Whether they come from Spanish ancestry, cavalry horses, draft herds or others, America’s Wild Horses have evolved over the years and become one of our nation's most treasured resources. Return to Freedom is a virtual Living History Conservancy, managing various herds according to their geographic origins.

Return to Freedom could not exist without the generous and continued support of people like you. Together and united, miracles can happen! Please consider any of the following ways in which you can get involved.

Return to Freedom relies entirely on the generosity of its donors.

Sponsorships are the foundation for support for the animals at Return to Freedom. These contributions are designated for the care of a particular horse or a herd. And they make meaningful gifts for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or for any horse lover on any special occasion.

Many of you have special skills or talents that could contribute immeasurably to our initiatives and growth. Please consider being a volunteer.

In order to save more horses, we need more land. Help us by sponsoring an acre in our new Wild Horse Land Trust.

Return to Freedom has ongoing needs for a wide range of supplies and equipment. Please take a look at our wish list and see how you can help. And because Return to Freedom is a non-profit corporation, all donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
