Where the Money Goes

On average it costs $250 per month to supply proper nutrition and basic medical care per horse. There are many additional costs involved in running a rescue including costs to maintain the facility, utilities, insurance, equipment maintenance, etc. It all adds up quickly. Costs for our horses with special needs are much higher.

Every Penny Counts

As a 501(c)(3)organization, we apply for grants, seek sponsors, and hold fundraisers. We also rely on donations from individuals like you. Each one of these is important to meet our expenses. We do what we can to minimize costs to truly succeed.

It doesn’t go to staffing– Mustangs To The Rescue is an all volunteer organization. We are fortunate to have a very dedicated all volunteer crew.  Our Executive Director currently volunteers her time; she is responsible for most of the horse care. Volunteer crew members take care of manure management, grooming, training horses, and maintaining our facility and equipment.

Volunteers donate time and resources to maintain our website, take care of bookkeeping and administrative tasks, plan fundraising and educational events.

Volunteers donate time and resources to transport horses and supplies; traveling thousands of miles to secure a new life for abused, abandoned and neglected horses.

You can make a difference

By making a donation to Mustangs To The Rescue you will help provide proper nutrition and medical care to previously unwanted, abused and neglected horses. Helping us have a positive impact on our community by providing assistance, educational opportunities, and resources needed in order to ensure long-lasting safe, secure homes for previously at-risk horses.

The money you donate is used to feed and care for the rescued horses now living at our facility. It is also used to help cover the cost of medical, dental, farrier, and body work services for the horses.

The money you donate is used to help fund educational opportunities to foster responsible horse ownership.

The money you donate is used to help cover the costs of operating expenses such as gasoline, utilities, insurance, licenses, permits, federal and state reporting fees. It all adds up quickly.

And because we buy locally, the money you donate goes back into the local community; helping our local economy. How cool is that!

Our adoption fee is designed so that our horses are affordable to loving and responsible adopters.  Our adoption fee does not come close to covering the cost of rescuing and rehabilitating most horses in our care.  As an example: the medical bill for one horse in our care exceeded $5,000 in just a few months. 

Fundraising events help generate much needed income but also come with many expenses. 

Donations from individuals and businesses make it possible for Mustangs To The Rescue to continue with our mission.

• To help horses in need by providing positive options for both horses and their owners
• To help our local community by providing horse owners and potential horse owners with assistance, educational opportunities and resources to ensure safe and secure homes for our equine partners
• To assist local, state, and federal agencies in managing horses and horse populations; wild or otherwise
• To elevate the public’s view of wild horses by placing them in roles of service such as Search and Rescue, Packing Services, and Mounted Patrols.

Please check with your employer as many of them having matching programs that can double your donations!

Because of your support, hundreds of horses have been helped through our programs. 

Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to everyone, thank you so much for all that you do to support what we do.

You will receive a receipt by email once your donation has gone through, please keep this for your taxes.

Our success is your success!
