Rescue Riders is an equine and farm animal rescue for neglected or unwanted equines and other animals found on a farm. The oak shaded pastures, with lush green grass are a dream come true to most of our horses. Our animals are first rehabbed back to health. The loving team of equine and farm professionals then decide if the animal is eligible for adoption or will stay on a permanent spa-cation at Rescue Riders facility.

Update: we got sponsors for two more fans only need one more fan!!! Here is a second one from Walmart with an enclosed motor. Either one will do.The other donors are getting us the ones from Walmart! We appreciate you all!!! One more to go!!

Huge shout out to Theresa Duke and her sisters for buying us three fans. We have to take all the fans out of the barn because not one of them works. So we are trying to replace all six fans If anyone would like to buy a a fan or two or three. All we need is three more. We have our oldest horses in the barn and Beauty is around 40 and she cannot sweat like other horses.
Below is the fans we are trying to get 3 more of. If you can find it in your heart so Miss Beauty can keep cool I’m sure she would appreciate it very much.
You can either buy them and drop them off or you could buy us a gift card or buy them and have them shipped to us all you need to do is pm me and I will give you the address to have them shipped to us.
Thank you in advance!!

This is the story of Freddie. Why would I share another rescues post you say. Well you see I am the one who found Freddie. I was panicked at what I found and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. So I got my friend Rhonda and we started the assessment. We are a much smaller Rescue with a lot fewer donors. I needed reinforcements so I called Emily Domagtoy who heads up a larger rescue Baby Girl Horse Rescue & Veteran Therapy Ranch. Emily called Van and they both headed over and diverted their vet they had to do a well check on another horse they have to us. Let me just say for me personally Emily and Van have saved me many times and are always there for us no matter what time I need them they come! This is what happens when rescues work together!!!
Thank you Van and Emily for always being there for us and helping even when I am panicked and yelling and crying and at my Witt’s end!! Emily and Van have the tough job of getting my had back on straight lol. This other rescue is not just another rescue they have become family.
Here is a happy story for today!! Look how good Freddie looks!! Thank you to everyone who helped out with his recovery!!

Thank you to all our donars who made our dental day happen!!! Thank you to all who showed up to help hold and catch horses! And thank you to everyone who shared our post!! We couldn’t do this without all of y’all’s help!!
We did get Cletus the donkeys teeth done too but he wasn’t in the mood for a picture lol! For lack of better words he was kinda being an ass!
Thank you to Emily Demogtoy for setting this up for us thank you Van for holding my big girl and helping with everyone!! We appreciate y’all!!
Also thank you Brittany Penny for coming out to do our teeth!!

06/06/2024

UPDATE: we got three horses sponsored and 25.00 towards a fourth horse to get their teeth done!!! Cmon guys we need to finish getting the fourth one and the fifth one so they can have some purdy teeth too!!! Thank you to those that sponsored so far!!! We cannot do this without your help!!! We still need to get lady paid for and 50.00 more for Apache!!

Sponsors needed: its wishlist Wednesday and on the 13 we are having an equine dentist come to the rescue and they are giving us a significant discount. Each horse we can get done will only be 75.00 with the discount. We need to see if we can get any sponsors for the following horses: Cricket, Duke, Bella, Lady, and Apache. So we need to raise 375.00.
Anything helps at this point and if you can help our PayPal and Zelle will be in the comments and thank you again so much!!

Our Story

We teach young riders the skills needed to work with a 1000 pound companion with a mind of it's own. In the process, they develop self confidence, team work, assertiveness, planning ability, and many other skills that will last them a lifetime. We give kids the opportunity to develop on our farm and enjoy the great companionship of other horse loving young people. We rescue unwanted horses, rehabilitate them, and let them have a job helping kids grow up. We provide a safe haven for neglected horses.
