Join us in celebrating the American Mustang
The purpose of the Northern California Mustang Showcase is to promote the American Mustang and everything they are capable of in the domesticated world. It is also to raise awareness of the many challenges that they face in the modern world, and their desperate need for as many human advocates as possible.

An American Icon
In addition to facing the everyday dangers that all horses face in the domestic world, Wild Horses continue to struggle to exist on our public lands. The BLM manages free-roaming wild horses and burros on public lands as part of its multiple-use mission, with the goal of supporting healthy wild horses and burros on healthy public rangelands. The BLM is responsible for determining and maintaining appropriate management levels (AML) for each herd and works to achieve that population target through a variety of management processes, including limiting reproduction in some herds through the use of birth control and gathers that remove excess animals from the range and places them in short or long-term holding pens.
