Meet the RVHR Herd. Here you will find all of the horses at the Rescue Facility.
Some of the horses need a monthly Sponsor to help with their daily care and special needs while they wait 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 costs for long-term conditions are additional to this. RVHR depends on public donations to cover its yearly costs for each horse in our care.
