Medicine Horse Project

The Directors of The Medicine Horse Project acknowledge that animals are sentient beings with the power to heal the hearts of those who make a personal connection with them. We believe that animals should be admired, respected, and when needed, rescued. Our mission is the rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption of horses who have suffered neglect and abuse or are in jeopardy of being sent to slaughter.   

Our vision is to END THE UNNECESSARY SUFFERING OF BOTH HORSES AN HUMANS.  Because we know Horses Are Good Medicine, we open our gates to people seeking hope, healing and resiliency through our Resiliency Through Horsemanship programs.

The rehabilitation of the rescued horse will involve and engage volunteers and program guests who come to The Project’s Resiliency Through Horsemanship retreats.  Our guests will give care to the animals in The Medicine Horse Project, and in doing so, they will prepare them for adoption into new loving homes.  The return benefit to the caregivers is a healing of the mind, body, and spirit that only animals can give humans. Sanctuary will be provided for certain rescued horses who are not well suited for adoption due to age, health issues, or temperament.  In these cases, lifelong care will be given, and the horses will not be made available for adoption. 

In addition to the rescue of horses in need, The Medicine Horse Project will also open its arms to other species of animals under special circumstances.  The Medicine Horse Project makes its home in beautiful Buena Vista Valley on the outskirts of Imlay Nevada.
