In 2018 our founders purchased the ranch that the refuge sits on today. It was then that they started to look for opportunities to bring people to Park County and Fairplay in particular. Through intensive searching they came upon the story of the wild mustangs that roam the western half of the US; this became their cause.

Though their background with horses varied, they knew that they wanted to do something to help ease the stress of the horses rounded up by the BLM and give them a second chance. From there RMMR was formed and they have been avid supporters of not only the horses at the refuge but the care and maintenance of the ranch that it sits on. We owe a debt of gratitude to our founders for their vision.
