Ceremonial Euthanasia

At Great Escape Mustangs, we understand how hard it is to see a horse not thriving in domestic life and the heavy decision of deciding that the most humane choice sometimes is euthanasia. We offer the public a Passing Ceremony + Euthanasia Service — providing a peaceful, dignified, and meaningful farewell for Mustangs and other horses in need of a final resting place.

A Sacred Passing

Our approach to euthanasia is grounded in deep respect for the horse’s spirit, honoring their journey with a gentle and ceremonial transition. Whether your horse is aged, injured, not thriving in domestic life, or facing a decline in quality of life, we offer an alternative that allows them to pass in a stress-free environment surrounded by love.

What We Offer

• Compassionate Guidance: We understand this is an emotional decision. We offer support to help you determine a path that is aligned for your situation. We are available to travel to your horse, haul your horse OR you can haul to one of our facilities, so that we can support you in the transition.

• Planning: We can make the hard calls and plans for you. After our initial consultation call we will have a clear understanding of what you need support with and can make the plans and appointments, so that you can be present.

• Ceremonial Farewell: We offer a farewell ceremony and we can incorporate personal rituals, prayers, or blessings that hold meaning for you.

• Respectful Aftercare: Depending on the scenario, we will offer support with grieving your horse and gift you with a sacred keepsake.

Why Choose a Ceremonial Euthanasia?

Many horse owners struggle with traditional euthanasia and disposal options that feel cold or clinical. Our offering is for those seeking:

• A peaceful and ethical end-of-life choice for their horse

• A non-clinical, spiritually grounded experience

• A way to honor the wild roots of a Mustang, returning them to nature

How It Works

1. Initial Consultation – We will discuss your horse’s needs and answer any questions you may have.

2. Scheduling & Preparation – If you choose this path, we will coordinate a time and help you prepare for the ceremony.

3. The Ceremony – Whether you wish to be present or have us hold space on your behalf, we ensure a gentle and humane passing.

4. Aftercare – We provide guidance on arrangements, as well as, grieving support.

A Final Gift of Love

This service is open to all horse owners who seek an alternative to conventional euthanasia, especially those with Mustangs who deserve a farewell aligned with their nature. We hold every horse in gratitude and reverence, ensuring they pass with dignity, respect, and love.
