In 1971, the U.S. Congress declared that “wild free-roaming horses and burros are living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West; and that they contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people.” Cindy Lee and the Wags and Menace Make a Difference Foundation agree, and have made a valiant effort to help save thousands of wild mustangs, horses, and burros. Passionate about continuing to support their medical care, the Foundation also provides funds to transport the animals to sanctuaries when necessary and donates blankets and extensive food supplies to keep them warm and well nourished in winter.

Over the years, the Wags and Menace Make a Difference Foundation has saved thousands of wild mustangs from all over the United States that were destined for slaughter. “This effort is about more than just saving the animals, but saving a vital part of our American heritage,” says Cindy Lee. “These wild free-roaming horses and burros are living symbols of the pioneer spirit of the West and we will do whatever it takes to protect them.” In addition to funding the medical care, rescue, and rehabilitation of wild mustangs, horses, and burros, Cindy Lee gives 200 percent of herself to every mission. “We recently rescued—and adopted—an entire family, also known as a band, of extremely rare wild Cremello horses and funded building a barn and pastures for them where they can live out their lives and be as wild and free as they were meant to be.” To help protect our national heritage, visit our How To Help page.
