Crystal Field had just opened a new hair salon in Portland, OR, but was soon guided to follow a call in another direction. During the pandemic of 2020 and the struggles associated with that time, she realized she had a higher purpose in life--to build a sanctuary for as many wild mustangs as she could. She moved into an airstream, rented her house on Airbnb, became a minimalist and saved as much money as she could until she could move to raw property she purchased in Arizona. Two years after first following this pull, she moved in October of 2022 and rescued the first 2 Alpine Mustangs from upstate AZ on November 12th 2022. Moksha sanctuary has now rescued 32 horses, 23 of which remain at the sanctuary. The 9 other horses were owner surrenders that were rehabbed and then found forever homes. Join us as we discuss Crystal's journey, the struggles of rescue and sanctuary, the dire situation so many wild horses are facing, and what you can do to help. At Moksha, you can also care for your very own Mustang through sponsorship, ensuring life long safety for a beautiful wild horse.
