Emergency Feed Assistance and Other Help

Do you know a horse who could use a little help? Since 2010, we have given assistance to over 1,000 equines all across New Mexico, thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors and supporters, and to the families and agencies who partnered with us to help equines in need.

See the short descriptions below or contact us for help.

Please donate as you are able to keep these equine safety net services available in New Mexico.
