Horses in Rehab
When our horses arrive, they’re given a complete medical examination to determine their rehabilitation and treatment plan. Although we are a 100% volunteer organization, the rescues currently undergoing rehabilitation have significant expenses. Medical, farrier, and dental services are all provided at a reasonable cost, but it all adds up.
We are always looking for financial sponsors to help cover some of the costs for our horses in rehab.
Stormy
- Name: Stormy
- Foaled:
- Sex: Gelding
- Breed: Mini Donkey
- Color:
- HH:
- Rescue Status: Currently being rehabilitated. Not available for adoption.
Stormy arrived at RVR in August 2024. His owner was unable to care for him and was hoping we would help rehome him. We knew we needed to help him when we saw his summer sores and an extreme deformity of his sheath – which was later determined to be ‘summer sores gone wild’. Stormy is currently undergoing treatment for his summer sores and was also found to be metabolic, which we are hoping to be able to reverse with proper diet and reducing his excess weight. Once Stormy is rehabilitated and ready for his forever home, he will make a wonderful addition to any family.
Pasture Pals – for Adoption or Sponsorship
Once our rescues are rehabilitated, they are evaluated for soundness for riding. Pasture Pals are those who aren’t suitable for riding, but who make wonderful companions for other horses (and humans).
Sometimes our Pasture Pals are still in need of a sponsor to help defray the costs to maintain their care until an adoptive owner is found, or longer term for permanent residents.
Jitters
- Foaled: 2016
- Sex: Mare
- Breed: Thoroughbred (OTTB)
- Color: Bay
- HH: 16.2
- Disciplines: Not cleared for riding
- Status: Available for Adoption. Sponsor Needed.
Jitters arrived at RVR in January of 2023. She had surgery to remove chips from both of her front knees in January of 2023. She has recovered and will make a wonderful companion. Jitters will require training and an experienced handler/trainer as she arrived at the rescue directly from the track. To learn more, please fill out our adoption questionnaire and we will be in touch. 
Zephyr
- Foaled: 2011
- Sex: Gelding
- Breed: Thoroughbred (OTTB)
- Color: Bay
- HH:
- Disciplines: Not cleared for riding
- Status: Available for Adoption. Sponsor Needed.
Handsome Zephyr is ready and waiting for a loving forever home. He will be undergoing additional medical evaluation for soundness. He loves to run like the wind!
Sound Horses – for Adoption or Sponsorship
Rehabilitated horses who are sound for riding will be matched with an adoptive owner depending on the type of riding the owner plans to do.
Sometimes our sound horses are still in need of a sponsor to help defray the costs to maintain their care until an adoptive owner is found, or longer term for permanent residents.
Currently we do not have any sound horses available for adoption. You can contact us through the website or Messenger to discuss.
