Welcome to the Horse Shelter

We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of abused and neglected horses within the State of New Mexico.  Our home is near the town of Cerrillos, south of Santa Fe, where we have a 'round-the-clock barn manager and facilities for about fifty horses.

The Horse Shelter depends on the kindness of individual donors whose financial support comprises the majority of our funding. We rely heavily on a dedicated group of volunteers who assist in caring for our horses.

Miracle, who sustained several gunshot wounds to the head

Miracle finds new home at the Horse Shelter

Miracle, the elderly mare that survived several gunshot wounds to the head is now recovering at the Shelter. You can read her incredible story as it appeared in the
Santa Fe New Mexican.

Touched by Miracle's story, Santa Fe artist, writer, and poet Lauren Camp wrote a moving poem which she shares with the Horse Shelter community. You can read Lauren's work here.
