Michigan Mustengos

Welcome to the Michigan Mustengo's Chapter of the American Mustang and Burro Association Inc. A 501c3 non-profit organization.

The AMBA offers the oldest National Registry for the Mustangs, half mustangs and burros. Registering your mustang or burro offers advantages on several

fronts. The foremost being proof of ownership and secondly allowing you to compete in competitions that require the animal to be a registered breed. 

The Michigan Mustengo's is currently the only chapter of the AMBA in Michigan. Owning a mustang or burro is not required for membership. Members do have to be current members of the AMBA. 

AMBA Mission Statement

AMBA’s Mission is primarily to promote acceptance of the wild equine through public education, to encourage the adoption of the wild equine by responsible individuals, and to work in concert with BLM to preserve the species.
