Who We Are

The unwanted horse. The abused horse. The neglected horse. The horse whose loving owner died and didn’t have an after plan. The horse whose owner suffered financial hardship. These are the horses we help.

The mission of Mustangs To The Rescue, an all-breed, all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit equine rescue, is to positively impact the community we serve by supporting horses, their owners and potential owners, with assistance, resources and educational opportunities, thus improving the lives of horses and humans in our community.

Mustangs To The Rescue was founded by Kate Beardsley. As a professional horse trainer, riding instructor, wrangler and program director, Kate has numerous years of experience working in veterinarian clinics and served as board member with Oregon Equestrian Trails, Back Country Horsemen of Oregon, and Central Oregon Wild Horse Coalition among others. Privately funded by Kate and special donors in the past, the rescue incorporated officially as Mustangs To The Rescue in 2012 and became an official 501(c)(3) in June of 2014.
