American Legend Mustang

American Legend Mustang is a tax exempt 501(c)3 California Nonprofit Corporation Tax Exempt # 83-2895868. Located in Ojai, California just 30 minutes northwest of Ventura on a 24 acre family owned ranch. What started as an idea of Shane and Aaron Harris and trainer Bruce Siben later became established in September 2018. We then began rescuing our wild mustangs and with the vision of giving back to the local and surrounding communities through education, public events, programs and fundraising. Our goal is to show what great companions wild mustang horses can be. We rescue wild mustangs from the United States Bureau of Land Management, then we proceed to gentle, train and socialize the mustangs using techniques of natural horsemanship from our trainers Bruce Siben and Samantha Record, with the hopes of placing them into our lease to own program and finding their forever homes or they are placed in our ambassador herd used for visitor experiences, therapeutic programs, veteran program.

Make sure you get the directions from their website because GPS can be wrong. Due to Covid, you cannot taste the samples in the barn. They give you a tray with samples of oils and balsamic vinegars and you are free to try this at one of their picnic tables. We loved some and didn't like others. We ended up buying several bottles of the Signature Olive oil.

Ecotopia

Reviewed By Stixville85

I recommend this to anybody who’s looking to relax their mind & body. I truly appreciated every moment of it. From the moment we pulled in to park, we were greeted by a very friendly host who explained everything and offered a nice little tangerine to enjoy after the soak. The amenities are perfect: a changing room with sink & toilet. Clothing is optional. It’s a quaint little retreat from the rat race of life. I enjoyed walking down the well lit trail (we went at 8pm) and picking a spot to relax. The vibe was qualm, quiet, serene, respectful and friendly. FYI:The smell of sulfur is intense but nothing to complain about, it didn’t disturb my visit one bit. I can’t wait to go back. I wish I could go every day. This place makes me grateful to be alive and well. Thank you!
