"Dedicated to the well-being of New Mexico's horses, |
Mission StatementHorses are central to New Mexico life; it's impossible to imagine our beautiful state without them. From wild mustang herds to carefully bred and trained performance horses, there's nothing more symbolic of the spirit and beauty of New Mexico. Sadly, that doesn't mean these horses are always treated well. The Horse Shelter's mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and facilitate the adoption of abused, abandoned and neglected horses in New Mexico. Shelter horses are housed in run-in stalls, large paddocks and turn-outs. We maintain a healthy feeding regimen and provide veterinary attention, farrier care and exercise when appropriate. For some horses The Horse Shelter will be a life-long sanctuary; others will be adopted out to carefully screened new homes. |

The Horse Shelter's adobe barn was built by volunteers. It features feeding stalls, a rodent-proof grain room, and a lot of hay storage. Architect: Paul Heath |
