PROGRAM UPDATES

MINI HORSE HEROES

Our most popular program takes place two Saturdays a month. It's a fun way for kids ages 3-5 years and their parents/caregivers to spend time at the ranch. The little ones get introduced to the rescue horses in a playful way and we spend time with them exploring developmentally appropriate concepts related to preschool learning targets. Each session will include learning about horse care, grooming & leading and finishes with a pony ride.

OCTOBER 22nd 10am- 12pm

AMAZON WISHLIST & AMAZON SMILE

Mucking not your thing…you can help the horses by shopping from home. MVHR has an AMAZON WISHLIST which makes it easy to donate an item that we need for daily operations and care for the horses. Simply add it to your shopping cart and select it to be shipped straight to MVHR. Click HERE to see what’s on our Amazon Wishlist.

You can shop on AMAZON SMILE with the same great deals and prices and a percentage of your purchase will be donated to MVHR.
