Goal
Mustang Camp is raising the money for a portable padded hydraulic chute. It will be much safer and less frightening for both the horse and handler. It will be portable to be able to move between facilities, making it useful for all wild horse herds in New Mexico and the Four Corners region. It will enable safe vetting and hoof trimming.

A safer chute is needed.
The chute will be available to vets and horse rescue groups. These chutes are quite expensive and require maintenance, but will prevent horses from being injured during necessary procedures.
We will be ordering the chute from Flying-W
