Some horses need a monthly Sponsor to help with their daily care and special needs while waiting for their forever homes. Some of the rescued herd are older and have medical conditions that make them no longer desirable to potential adopters. They will live out their lives here at the rescue.

It costs around $200 a month to keep a rescued horse. This covers the regular Feed, Hay, Farrier, and Veterinary costs such as vaccinations. Medical expenses for long-term conditions are additional to this. RVHR depends on public donations to cover the yearly costs for each horse in our care.

Adoptable horses are marked as Available for Adoption. Before inquiring about a horse at RVHR, please read our placement guidelines. Once you have, you are welcome to submit our Pre-Adoption Meet and Greet Application.
