Seven new wild mustangs have found a safe haven in Alhambra, Illinois after being rounded up in Nevada.
Photographer Wade Smith went to the mustang sanctuary to rescue and find new homes for these incredible animals.
A peaceful stretch of countryside providing a safe haven for wild mustangs removed from public lands in the West. Age and abilities don't matter - these horses will be given a second chance at life.
The seven new horses from Nevada add to the 34 already at the sanctuary, which was founded in 2008 after a couple became concerned about the future of America's wild mustangs.
The Bureau of Land Management regularly rounds up the horses from western ranges.
