Certified Rescue Organizations
Minnesota Horse Council identifies equine rescues that meet standards of care.
Purpose
As aid to those individuals that want to donate time, money or resources to equine rescue facilities, the Minnesota Horse Council believes it is imperative to identify and recognize rescues that meet standards of care. In order to become certified, a rescue facility must show they have non-profit status (501 (c) (3)) and that they meet or exceed the AAEP guidelines for equine rescues and retirement facilities. The Minnesota Horse Council lists the following stables and rescue organizations that meet its certification guidelines but does not warrant or endorse these organizations for any other purpose.
Applying for Certification
If you are a rescue facility that would like to be certified, please contact the MHC Horse Welfare Committee at welfare@mnhorsecouncil.org.
