Our Mission

· To provide affordable access to horses for the children of the community.
· To construct an equine cross-country course so that individuals in Western Colorado and Eastern Utah can pursue their Olympic dreams.
Our Goals

In GVHR’s first year, they rescued three horses, accepted two surrendered horses, and adopted out two horses. For more information please go to https://www.gvhr.org/post/grand-valley-horse-rescue-recap-of-the-year-edition
We can't save them all, but for those we save it means the world!
GVHR is expanding exponentially with new youth volunteers with 40 of them and average increase of 2 new youth volunteers weekly. Because of this enormous growth of volunteers, it has allowed us to partner with the Center for Racehorse Retraining, and Eagle & Wild Horse Ranch. Eagle & Wild Horse ranch, that has the Hallelujah horse which will be arriving next weekend and is fostering the Evanescent Mustangs schedule for training into youth performance horses. Last year Evanescent Mustangs saved over 300 horses.

Our future horses!
GVHR will continue to rescue horses from auctions and will continue to accept surrendered horses as space allows.
GVHR has the volunteers and the horses available for training. However, what GVHR lacking is a location to call home that is large enough to support our growth. Therefore, on Monday, Betty White’s 100th birthday, GVHR is asking everyone to please donate $5. If you can afford $10 even better, as property in Western Colorado is very expensive.
Our dream property with the necessary fencing and horse shelters is approximately to two million dollars.
Please donate today!
