About Us
a sanctuary for everyoneit's why we're here
A sanctuary- peaceful, safe and nurturing. In 2012, we found the perfect location for the Great Escape Mustang Sanctuary in Deer Trail, Colorado, securing approximately 900 acres of beautiful rolling open meadows, stands of pine trees, arroyos and ponds. A magnificent place for the wild ones.
The Great Escape Mustang Sanctuary began with a vision and a life-long dream of Gerhard K Sander and since has evolved into an integral collaboration helping Mustangs in need, both on and off the range.
Our team is comprised of many dedicated individuals volunteering their time, energy and lives to the horses that need us so badly. If what we’re doing calls to you, please jump in and join us…it takes a village.

Cost of Operations
Our budget includes:
- veterinarian and farrier care (including chiropractic and dental)
- ranch maintenance (including fencing and facility maintenance)
- feed (hay, grain, supplements)
- cost of running ranch operations and programs (including staff and utilities)
- cost of training (including supplies, tack and staff)
The only paid staff within our total operations are for training, programs support, and ranch maintenance… everyone else on our team is 100% volunteer, including our Executive Director. Your donations go directly back to the horses, thank you for your support!
