We do not suggest anyone who is pregnant to take our tour. Although we try to provide the smoothest ride possible, this is an off-road excursion with varying driving conditions.

Thanks to you, our company is able to participate in many programs that aid and protect the horses and the land they call home. Each ticket you purchase allows us to make regular and yearly donations to the non-profit responsible for herd management, Corolla Wild Horse Fund. We also are able to make emergency donations in order to aid hurt or sick horses who need to be removed for veterinary treatment. In addition to our micro level impact, through company profit we purchase sections of land to shield the sanctuary from development and minimize human impact. Donations are also made to the National Forrest’s tree planting program in order to offset our vehicles carbon footprint. All of this and more is done from you taking a tour with us, we can’t thank you enough!

We do not guarantee that you will see horses, as they are wild animals and are not tagged. However, our tour guides are well trained and know where to look for the horses depending on the time of day and weather conditions. Feel free to give us a call and ask about recent horse activity.

There is no best time! Although searching for wild animals is an unpredictable feat, our guides are extensively trained on tracking the wild mustangs. It’s recommended that you choose the date and time of the day for your tour based on your party’s preference. Good news is, since it is illegal to feed the wild horses, their search for food keeps them on the move from sun up to sun down.

Car seats are legally required in order for children to take a tour if they are under 8 years old or 80 pounds. There are no age restrictions to take a tour, however children cannot sit in a parent’s lap, you must bring their car seat. All of our vehicles are equipped with the latch system in order to provide a safe and stable tour for the young ones! (Plus, being raised up makes horse viewings easier for smaller children).

We are a rain or shine company! If the horses don’t mind the rain, ‘neighther’ do we!

We will not send out tours during severe thunderstorms, strong winds, and / or heavy rain, as this could endanger you and our drivers.
