This May, we celebrated Spirit, the Kiger mustang stallion who was the muse for the animators of DreamWorks’ “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron” — and who has lived at Return to Freedom’s sanctuary since 2003.
Now 30, Spirit is a powerful global symbol of freedom and resilience. At his recent birthday celebration, we heard story after story from visitors who came from all over the world, who found strength in Spirit’s legacy — the legacy of the American Mustang — overcoming adversity and finding hope. Every day, Spirit and his friends at the sanctuary remind us why we fight so hard to protect these majestic animals.
