🐴


A Wild Night of Celebration, Inspiration & Impact

Mustangs. Burros. Music. Memories. And a Mission That Matters.

Get ready to saddle up for one of the most heartwarming and unforgettable nights of the year! The Cloud Foundation’s 2025 Born to Be Wild Gala is back—bigger, bolder, and wilder than ever—Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025, at the iconic Flying W Ranch in Colorado Springs.

This year’s event is more than just a celebration—it's a milestone! We’re honoring over 20 years of powerful advocacy to keep America’s wild horses and burros wild and free on our public lands. Join friends, family, fellow advocates, and special guests for an evening full of fun, food, and fierce dedication to the animals we all love.

🌟 Meet the Legends—Both Four-Legged and Two-Legged

  • Spend time with Cloud’s living legacy—formerly wild mustangs and burros from the Pryor Mountains, and across the West.

  • Rub shoulders with celebrity guests, including Adam Bartley (“The Ferg” on Longmire, This Is Us) and our founder, Emmy-winning filmmaker Ginger Kathrens.

  • Chat with passionate advocates and meet the people behind the mission—like our Executive Director Kerry Ferguson, our Gala host Lisa Friday, and the rest of the TCF Board of Directors!

🎟️ Experience the Magic

  • Explore interactive educational stations and learn how YOU can be a voice for our wild herds.

  • Score big at our silent and live auctions—featuring exclusive items, art, experiences, and more.

  • Enjoy a mouthwatering chuckwagon dinner prepared by the amazing staff at The Flying W.

  • Tap your boots to a live concert by the world-renowned Flying W Wranglers, the world’s second-oldest western performance band!
