What's Happening - IHR

  • Happy March!  Is everyone ready for warm weather!  We are gearing up for many tasks that need done!  Check below for Competitive Trail Riding, Spring Open House, and many other activities that we are working on.  Come out and help clean up after a long winter!

  • Do you know of horses in need?  We ask that if you see horses in need, please contact your local Sheriff or Animal Control first - be sure to ask if they do large animal investigations. If they do not you may refer them to Indiana Horse Rescue, for more information and help.

  • Thanks to some great horse lovers things are improving at IHR SW!  We have had the funds donated to plant the pastures in permanent pasture grass!  So far 5 pastures have been planted.  We also have a great supporter who is funding the painting of the roof of the 750 ft long barn.  Plans are to start pressure washing it within the next month and painting after that.  No small task and we are so grateful to be able to have this done to keep it in good repair.  Thank you!

  • Donations that are marked for a specific project must be used for that project, all other donations go into the general operating fund to pay for hay, grain, medical, farrier, etc.

  • IHR SW is building stalls, but we are still in need of stall sponsors!  Check them out at:

  • IHR South has some upcoming fundraising events - details coming soon!


Donations Urgently Needed

Indiana Horse Rescue is struggling to care for over 100 horses in our care.  We hear the economy is getting better, so we hope many of these great horses will be finding homes or you will see it in your heart to make a donation.  Our sponsorships should now be up to date and hopefully will stay that way!  The many horses that come to the rescue need so many things, extra hay, grain, supplements and care.  Donations are always needed to care for these magnificent animals.  Please tell your friends to donate today to help the horses! $1.00, $5.00, every little bit helps!  With no paid employees, 95% of every dollar goes directly to care for those in need.  Less than 5% goes to administrative support.

While pastures are being planted at IHR SW, we and many of our divisions are running out of hay and not sure if there will be enough to make it until any of the pastures are up!


Adoptions

We are now adopting horses across the United States!

In the past we have only adopted horses to Indiana and surrounding states, We are now adopting to approved homes across the United States!  This enables us to find more homes and the right homes for horses at the rescue.


Needing Homes  

The horses need a home - not just a stall!

With the number of horses needing homes all divisions have been VERY reasonable with the adoption donations for each horse.  Our adoption rates have always been $250/$550/$750 but many are half that!  We are accepting reasonable offers/donations!   We have some very nice horses that are waiting for you!  Set up an appointment to visit today!

Help beautify the rescues!

Are you dividing your plants this year?  Or maybe removing flowers, a bush or small tree?  We all hear about recycling, but what about recycling your plants too?  We have no budget to  beautifying our facilities, many of our volunteers take funds from their own pocket or grow plants from seeds.  IHR SW has had many plants donated to this facility and with 80 acres we are always looking for more.  Do you have any perennial plants you can donate to help beautify the rescues facilities?  Call your closest rescue or ship them to any of our divisions, they will be used to help beautify the properties!
