About the SSMA
Why Registration Matters
The Southwest Spanish Mustang Association (SSMA) was created with one goal in mind, to help ensure the future of the Spanish Mustang horse. As a breed registry, we’re here to support conservation, encourage responsible breeding, and recognize individual ownership of this remarkable horse.
Every registration plays a role in protecting the future of the Spanish Mustang. As new foals arrive each year, it becomes more important than ever to keep accurate records of births, deaths, and transfers. This information helps establish a secure foundation for the breed’s future, and your participation makes all the difference.
