Help During Crisis

RVR Horse Rescue’s Angel Program has been operating behind the scenes for many years. This program is designed to stem the tide of equine abuse and neglect by helping equines stay in their loving homes rather than have them fall into the wrong hands.  One way we do this is through one-time small grants during short-term hardships.

Temporary Hardship?

Our grant program provides one-time assistance to equine owners who are facing a temporary hardship. These small grants are issued based on owner’s proven need for feed, hay, or medical care for their equines. Emergency cases with extenuating circumstances will also be considered.
