BE PART OF HISTORY

Every donation, share, and word of encouragement helps make this journey possible. Together, we can send an American Mustang from the wilds of Oregon to the World Championships in Spain and show the world what is possible through partnership.

So far, supporters have contributed just over $16,000, so we still have a way to go.

Every bit counts!

All funds received from this fundraising campaign will go directly toward covering the costs for Robin and Kiger Zapata to compete at the 2026 World Championships in Jerez, Spain. They're leaving at the end of July to begin training in Europe and will be arriving in Jerez to settle in at the World Championship venue on September 6, 2026.

Donations to this cause are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. Please consult your tax accountant for specific information about your taxes.
