Our Rainbow Bridge Angels

One of the hardest things about a rescue is knowing that we can't save them all. Many rescued horses become healthy again, are adopted, and go on to live happily ever after at their new forever home. Others cannot be saved, but comfort lies in knowing that while they were here with us, the end of their life was peaceful. The abuse and neglect that they had been forced to live with was replaced with lots of love and attention.

This page is dedicated to those who crossed the rainbow bridge to greener pastures.

"Somewhere in time's own space,
There must be some sweet pastured place,
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow,
Some paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen,
I know great horses live again."
~Stanley Harrison

At some point, we all must think about what life will be like after we are gone. Planned giving is something that you can do to help the rescue. You can let your family know that helping to support the rescue horses is important to you. It can be set up through a will, or by letting the funeral home know that you would like memorial donations in your honor made to Hope in the Valley Equine Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc.
