There is no such thing as a free horse. In order to help defray the day to day operational costs of board, hay, medical, dental and other rehabilitation costs, NMHRR is looking for sponsors. If you are interested in sponsoring a horse, please contact Beth at northernmichiganrescue@charter.net or 989-350-2971 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for more information. Even a small amount helps.

Who we are.......

Northern Michigan Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation (NMHRR) is a non-profit organization, currently working on our 501(c)3, tax-exempt status. We are happy to provide receipts for bookkeeping purposes but please obtain advise from a qualified accountant before making or claiming a tax deduction for your donation. NMHRR takes in horses who are in need of a new home, regardless of the reasons. Although we are required by law to carry a dealer's license, we are not horse dealers. We will occasionally purchase a horse from a private owner or at auction. When we do, in no way are we implying that we feel the horse has been abused or negelected.  We need the help of individuals, communities and other like-minded volunteers who are as dedicated as we are to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of horses in Northern Michigan, including the Upper Peninsula. Any and all donations, funds and adoption fees are put back into the organization and as soon as our tax exempt status becomes formal, all donations will be tax deductible. For more information, including our Board of Directors and Officers, follow this link and how you can volunteer to help, please click here.

What we do......

Through the kindness of a local equestrian center, we have the space and a trainer to work with us to provide the rehabilitation a horse may need. All necessary veterinarian, farrier, TLC and extra training will be provided for these horses, all working toward the ultimate goal of finding new homes. If you have a horse you can no longer care for or know of a horse in need of a new home, please contact us at 989-350-2971 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. or email northernmichiganrescue@charter.net. For more information about our rehabilitation program, please visit this page.

Horse Surrender Guidelines....

We understand that many times horse owners are no longer able to care for their beloved pets. Northern Michigan Rescue and Rehabilitation understands the heartbreaking decisions that must often be made. Should you decide to surrender your horse(s) to our rescue, we promise to make the transition as painless and problem free as possible and provide you with the reassurance that we will do our best to make sure your horsesis adopted by individuals who meet a specific criteria or be referred for placement in a suitable enviornment for their age, condition or special care needs. For more information on surrendering a horse, please follow this link.

Reporting suspected abuse....

Please, if you suspect that a horse is being abused physically and/or psychologically, or has been abandoned, CALL THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES. Trespassing on private land is illegal, even with the best of intentions, and can be potentially dangerous. On our 'Reporting Suspected Abuse' page, we have provided a link to County Shelters and Animal Control offices where suspected abuse or abandonment can be reported.

We need your help...

Not only do we need monetary donations and rescue sponsors, we encourage participation within our organization. Currently, we need volunteers who are willing to be active in helping with fundraisers, events, newsletters, marketing, educational seminars and other important areas that will better serve the community and our rehabilitation program. Please visit our 'How you can help' link for more information and our wish list.
