Across the United States, 80 thousand horses are collected and sent to be brutally slaughtered every year.
According to the Humane Society of the United States, 92.3% of American horses sent to slaughter are healthy and would be able to live out happy lives if given the chance.
These horses are being discarded due to the public's lack of education and understanding of their needs. We want these horses to know that they are not trash, they are treasure.
Our mission is to save these horses by educating the public through our outdoor classroom setting which offers a hands on educational program as well as a therapeutic experience for both the horse and student. Our goal is to provide an accessible educational experience through our low-cost riding program as well as topic based clinics.

Programs for 2024
Educational Riding Program.
We are Making Some Changes!
We start at age 4 and go up through adult. Our lessons are structured into 6 levels. Each level requires a minimum of 8 weeks to complete. We go over everything from tack names and parts, grooming, basic anatomy as well as basic care, followed by riding instruction and riding time.
Our classes are student based and we move at our students learning pace. This means each student's lesson duration may vary. This includes instruction on the ground as well as riding time. We start every student from the beginning (Beginner Level) and work our way up to advanced level.
Lessons this year have been restructured due to accepting limited students.
We will be offering clinics on Saturdays throughout the summer. The clinic topics will be posted on the website and registration will be limited.
Starting In JUNE 2024
Space is limited so fill out our registration and we will be in touch.

Who We Are!
❤Rafter M Ranch Riding and Rescue Corporation!❤
We are a Nonprofit Corporation that is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of horses!
While we do many things along the way our heart is in it for the misunderstood and mistreated horses. We offer a variety of services all of which the funds go to helping and supporting the heart of our business and our mission.
We rescue and rehab horses, then through a process, find good homes for them. We don't just let our horses go to anyone. There is a process a potential adopter must go through to show they are a good fit for that horse. We are trying to ensure that the horses we save will never end up back where we found them!
We offer riding lessons in the summer, and soon in the winter as well as transportation for horses on an appointment only basis.
We offer training and rehab to those neglected and misunderstood horses. As well as offering riding lessons to adults and children whom may have experienced similar situations, or those who are wanting to learn more! Please join us in our mission by donating or by booking some riding lessons!
We are also offering the option to sponsor a rescue and receive a monthly gift from your horse. ❤ We would love to get in touch.
Don't forget to like and share our Facebook page to keep up on all our updates and progress our horses are making!
Thank you for all your support!🥰
