Faith is MHR's latest PMU mare rescue. She's a 12yo grade shire mare who traveled from North Dakota and arrived on March 18. When she arrived she was at least 300 lbs underweight after having spent a very rough winter out on the snowy plains. After two months at MHR, she's doing quite well.
On May 25, 2009, after a long wait, Faith's Justice made his appearance. The colt and his mom are doing just fine! Justice will be available for adoption after weaning, expected to be at about 4 months of age.
Watch Faith and Justice on the MHR live camera every day and read more about them on the MHR blog.

MHR is sorry to say that we are unable to accept further horses at this time. Although we have many horses available for adoption, we find that adoptions are down, more than likely due to economic times
You are welcome to visit MHR, but please call in advance for an appointment. We are very small, do not have a staff, and are not able to accommodate drop-in visitors. Visit our Contact page for details.
Providing all the horses with the hay they need is a very expensive proposition. We started the drive with enough hay for six months but, thanks to increasing costs, that's gone and we're now raising funds on a month-to-month basis. We hope we have some enticements for you that may make our goals a little easier to achieve.
MHR receives praise from Nye County Animal Control
Thank you very much to Mr. McCarty for this most welcome letter, and most especially, thanks to you, our MHR supporters who enable us to continue this work!

We met Nellie when she burst upon the scene on January 17, 2008. On Thursday, March 20, 2008, Nellie and her precious unborn foal, Lil Angel, were euthanized. Nellie was unable to stand after emergency surgery for a severe case of sand colic.
We are determined to do all we can to make these tragic deaths meaningful. Nellie and Lil Angel are the latest vicitms of the PMU industry and it must stop! Read more of Nellie's story and please join us in our fight. Follow the story of the survivors, Jerri and Apple here.

Miracle Horse Rescue Inc. is a federally-recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization which is dedicated to the preservation and welfare of abused, neglected and unwanted domesticated horses of all types and conditions. You may verify MHR's non-profit status yourself by going to the IRS web page. Miracle Horse Rescue does not receive Federal or state funding, and relies totally on the generosity of public donations. It is the goal of Miracle Horse Rescue to rehabilitate each horse to the best of its ability, and then to locate placement into a "Forever" home through our adoption program. Miracle Horse Rescue is anti-slaughter, and those horses deemed unadoptable because of varying disabilities will live out the rest of their lives at the Miracle Horse Rescue facility, receiving the care and love they so justly deserve.At the end of their lives, when all treatment has been tried and the decision is made that further attempts are futile, the only option becomes humane euthanasia by a qualified/certified/licensed equine veterinarian.
