Did you know it costs the rescue approximately $200 per month to care for a rescued horse? This covers the regular Feed, Hay, Farrier, and Veterinary costs, such as vaccinations. Medical expenses for long-term conditions are in addition to this. RVHR depends on public donations to cover the yearly fees for each horse in our care.

Note: Most of our residents are not Rideable but would love to have a home of their own and the love of a family.

Rideable Description meaning – A RVHR team member has been on the horse at a walk ONLY.

Before inquiring about a horse at RVHR, please read our placement guidelines. Once you have done so, you are welcome to submit our Pre-Adoption Meet-and-Greet Application. RVHR Adoption Fees run between $250 and $750. Each adopted horse will be UTD on Shots and Coggins.
