Horse Adoption & Rescue - Horse Directories

Rocky Mountain Horse Rescue (RMHR) is dedicated to the rescue, welfare, and care of Horses, Ponies, Mules, and Donkeys.

It all began with a horse, a child and a dream. It was a sweltering summer day in July 2010 when 10-year-old Marcus climbed atop Gabe, the former party pony adopted by Hope Reins to serve as the first official ‘equine counselor.’ The red-haired foster boy wore a broad smile and sat upright as his counselor led Gabe around the pasture – unaware that he was the first of many more hurting kids that would enter the gates of this special place.

Yes, Kim Tschirret had a dream. The Raleigh mom of two and former marketing executive with Thomas the Tank Engine had recently read a remarkable book that not only touched her heart deeply but evoked a sense of personal purpose – a passionate mission she later could only attribute to God’s artful plan.

“Hope Rising” was the book – and its author, Kim Meeder, chronicled heart wrenching stories of abused horses she and her husband, Troy, rescued and the hurting kids who began to find hope and healing themselves while helping care for the extraordinary horses. The Oregon couple witnessed the natural connection between emotionally and physically wounded kids and horses – and embarked on an amazing journey by founding Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch, which today is home to dozens of horses and has served thousands of kids and families.

All About Equine rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes abused, neglected, abandoned horses, as well as those headed to auction and slaughter. We are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, and 100% of donations go to the support of our horses and programs.

We’re a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation located in Rancho Santa Fe, California and are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and placing all breeds of sick abused, abandoned and slaughter-bound equine; including wild horses and mustangs, ponies and donkeys. All horses pictured on this website have been rescued or were born of a rescued horse. We want you to see these majestic animals and fall in love with them as we have.

Dreamcatchers Equine Rescue (DCER) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, founded in 2007, made up of a group of dedicated individuals who have come together, in their love of horses, to do what we can to preserve the dignity of these magnificent creatures!

Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue is a 501(c)(3) Tax Deductible Non-Profit organization. All of our horses are rescued from auctions where we are their last chance before being sold to slaughter.

Our horses have come to Horses of Tir Na Nog from a variety of sources. Several were PMU foals/mares from Canada, one is a BLM mustang, others were riding horses, and one was a racehorse. All of our horses serve the important role of “ambassadors,” regardless of their ability to be ridden. We invite you to meet our herd here on our WEB Site. Some of their stories will tug at your heart strings. As you get to know our herd, we hope that you will join us in celebrating the unique qualities of each horse. It is the special character of each member of our herd that motivates us on a daily basis.

Our primary mission is to rescue horses that have been abandoned or abused and to find new owners committed to providing them with a loving, caring environment. Our extended mission is to provide un-adoptable horses a natural setting in which to live during their remaining days and to introduce various groups of people to the fascinating culture of the horse.
